How the SKA telescope is boosting South Africa's knowledge economy
Over the past five years, MeerKAT has made remarkable contributions to both South African and international science.
Here are just four of MeerKAT’s major breakthroughs that I’ve been involved in, and why the findings matter for our understanding of the Universe.

Fascinating findings

This allowed our team to see for the first time magnetic filaments that surround the supermassive black hole at the heart of our galaxy.
A supermassive black hole is an extremely dense object with the mass of a million suns.
The research provided valuable insights into the dynamic processes that shape the galactic environment.
The Laduma, Mightee and Mhongoose surveys aim to map the distribution of galaxies and neutral hydrogen gas.

Growth and learning

Members of local communities around the site have been employed during both the construction and operation stages.
Engagements with those communities, and particularly with schools in the area, are breaking down barriers to participation in astronomy.
For instance, I have been able to collaborate with astronomers from the UK, Australia, the Netherlands and the US.

NILES, Ill., Jan. 16, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- M&S Technologies, a leader in computerized vision testing in collaboration with Bruder Healthcare, renowned for dry eye solutions announce the launch of the M&S Bruder Ocular Surface Analyzer (BOSA). The all-in-one innovative device represents an advancement in dry eye assessment and is poised to be a necessity for eye care practices treating ocular surface disease (OSD), including dry eye syndrome. In only 15 seconds per eye, BOSA captures and provides OSD test results. "With the system's unmatched speed, accuracy, and ease of use, doctors can manage dry eye patients more efficiently and effectively, improving outcomes through better data and boosting revenues through time savings," explains Brent Jones of Hilco Vision, parent company of M&S Technologies and Bruder Healthcare.

Key Points:

The all-in-one innovative device represents an advancement in dry eye assessment and is poised to be a necessity for eye care practices treating ocular surface disease (OSD), including dry eye syndrome.
"The Bruder Ocular Surface Analyzer is the most comprehensive "one-stop" instrument available to document Dry Eye Disease."
BOSA consolidates these diverse tests into one efficient device, offering eye doctors a comprehensive solution within their exam rooms.
It is the answer for both the established Dry Eye practice looking to improve efficiency and the eye care practice looking to start a Dry Eye clinic," said Darrell White, MD of SkyVision Centers.

Unchained Labs has the inside track on Lentivirus RNA detection, launches new Leprechaun application!

Lentiviruses are beastly gene therapy vectors that are among the hardest to characterize.

Key Points:

Lentiviruses are beastly gene therapy vectors that are among the hardest to characterize.
They are harvested from messy cell culture soup that most analytical techniques can't even touch without a slew of clean-up steps.
The new RNA application directly measures the percentage of lentiviruses that contain a capsid and are carrying RNA, both on the inside of the virus.
For the first time, researchers can measure their intact lentivirus titer at any step of their process, including directly from crude harvest samples.

Researchers need to know how many Lenti's they've made and confirm that they have the right structure.

Key Points:

Researchers need to know how many Lenti's they've made and confirm that they have the right structure.
Most researchers use single-component assays like ELISA to measure the capsid titer or PCR to measure the genome titer.
Both assays require Lenti to be broken apart, provide only one piece of the puzzle and neither confirms if they ever had the right structure.
"Until now, measuring a meaningful Lenti titer was almost impossible and full of confusion and frustration," said Taegen Clary, SVP of Marketing at Unchained Labs.
