<strong>A New Method to Map the Bra= in: Infect It With a Virus (9 minute read)</strong>
</span>
<span style=3D"font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, V= erdana, sans-serif;">
E11 Bio has been working for the past t= hree years to develop techniques to make brain mapping better, cheaper, and=
faster. One of these approaches involves making the brain label itself by = injecting it with viruses that cause neurons to make special proteins that = act like barcodes. The approach reduces the amount of brain slicing require=
d and creates more accurate wiring maps that require less proofreading. E11=
is now shifting from proof-of-concept mode to building out its imaging inf= rastructure so it can tackle an entire mouse brain.

<strong>Is Aurora DSQL your next da= tabase? (5 minute read)</strong>
</span>
<span style=3D"font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, V= erdana, sans-serif;">
Amazon's new Aurora DSQL is a serverles=
s, globally distributed database that is highly available, multi-regional, = Postgres compatible, and fast. This post looks over its features to see if = the product works as advertised. Aurora DSQL is still very new - the servic=
e is only available in two US regions at the moment. It is still missing a = lot of features from Postgres and uses an unusual authentication method tha=
t involves using a URL-like token to connect to the database.
