CUNY, on the Coinage of the Roman Provinces before Provincial Coinage, as represented by the coins in the
R. B. Witschonke Collection.
Dates: March 23-25, 2021
Speakers:
Federico Carbone (Università di Salerno)
Phil Davis (Independent Researcher)
David Hendin (ANS)
Andrew McCabe (Independent Researcher)
Annalisa Polosa (Università Sapienza)
Clive Stannard (Warwick University)
Euan Wall (INHA)
This three-day conference, co-sponsored by the ANS and the Department of History of the City University of New York, will feature contributions by the foremost scholars in the field. The papers will offer a numismatic and historical overview of each region represented by the coins in the R. B. Witschonke Collection.
Taxes on international transport could provide new flows of finance to developing countries to help them reduce greenhouse gas emissions and cope with the impacts of climate breakdown, a group of climate finance experts have said. Rich countries are failing on their pledge to provide $100bn a year to help poor countries cope with the climate crisis, and the way in which climate finance is organised needs urgent reform, the six academics argue in.
From the Editor: A hydrogen dissident [GasTransitions]

Summary In a remarkably short time, hydrogen has become the climate hope of a remarkably broad range of “stakeholders”. [Gas Transitions Volume 2, Issue 2]
by: Karel Beckman
Politicians across the world have presented great hydrogen plans. The gas industry hopes hydrogen offers gas and gas infrastructure a second lease on life. Renewable energy and environmental groups believe green hydrogen will make a 100% renewable energy future possible. The IEA endorses it. Shell and Greenpeace love it. Germany and France want it. The US and China are behind it.
With this kind of support, can anyone doubt the hydrogen economy will carry.
Study describes mechanism that limits immunosupressive activity of tumor-associated macrophages
Tumor cells are able to avoid the attack of the immune system through several mechanisms. For instance, these can secrete factors that turn macrophages -cells in the immune system- into dual action agents that contribute to the tumor progress and will protect it from immune body defenses: these become, thus, the tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs).
An article published in the journal
Cancer Research describes a new molecular mechanism that counteracts the immunosupressive action of these macrophages to boost tumor growth, and brings knowledge of potential interest for the design of future therapeutical options against cancer. The preclinical study is led by the tenure-track 2 lecturer Annabel Valledor, from the Faculty of Biology and the Institute of Biomedicine of the University of Barcelona (IBUB).
