BREAKING: In a bombshell, The Nation reports today that Israel is operating a phony front group in the US to spy on pro-Palestinian students on college campuses – all blatantly illegal under US law. NY Times is ignoring.
FBI has done nothing to stop it.⤵️

'While the theoretical limit to human tolerance for heat and humidity was already known, in part thanks to a 2010 paper, policymakers had not properly thought through its consequences as a result of climate change. “Ministry is like the first mass-market, general cultural publication of this idea that is quite obvious.”'

"The blowback over Elon Musk’s endorsement of an antisemitic conspiracy theory on X gathered steam on Friday, as several major advertisers on his social media platform cut off their spending after his comments."

"To further boost online engagement, scientists may also be incentivized to review pre-prints. Recent reports suggest that scientists are more motivated to review if they are credited for it, especially if these efforts are recognized by their employers; monetary compensation ranked only sixth"

British Archaeologist Leonard Woolley and his wife Catherine at the moment of the discovery of pottery pipes that were used as a sewage and rainwater network in what is considered the first water drainage system in history before about 4000 BC, Ur (Mesopotamia), moden-day Iraq, in 1930.
So #ElonMusknis planning to sue my friends at Media Matters.
"The split second court opens on Monday, X Corp will be filing a thermonuclear lawsuit against Media Matters and ALL those who colluded in this fraudulent attack on our company.."
Not just any lawsuit, a "thermonuclear" one!
He's made this threat before, only at advertisers, but didn't follow through. Pissing off the advertisers doesn't = increased revenue. So he sued my friends at The Center for Countering Digital Hate instead.
Biden picks a new NCI Director.

Seriously? New Environment Sec has taken money from major backer of a climate-denying think-tank. Why did Barclay accept donation? What discussions has he had with Hintze before & since receiving it? Does he agree with GWPF climate-denial? We need answers

'In this Brief Review, we discuss recent findings that inform the design of the next generation of COVID-19 vaccines. In the context of prior SARS-CoV-2 evolution, we discuss strategies under investigation for the induction of broadly neutralizing Abs (bNAbs) to restrict SARS-CoV-2. Additionally, we examine recent evidence for the importance of mucosal immunity in restricting SARS-CoV-2 transmission. We further consider the challenges associated with these next-generation vaccine strategies, including overcoming “original antigenic sin”'

"Javier Milei, el candidato presidencial de la ultraderecha argentina, ha puesto patas para arriba los consensos que desde hace 40 años mantienen a flote la democracia argentina. Pretende terminar con la educación y la salud públicas, desfinanciar universidades y se opone a las leyes de aborto y el matrimonio igualitario."
"To tackle the climate crisis, we need an economy-wide transformation which puts ambitious objectives, like climate targets, at the centre of our economic and fiscal strategy. We need long-term, patient and mission-orientated finance. Governments — and especially public development banks — are critical in providing the kind of far-sighted long-term funding that traditional financiers shy away from."

This image shows a nighttime scene. On the left of this image you can see a building with most lights dark. A tree sits in front of the building. In the center of the image is a brightly lit cruise ship. The right side of the image shows the reflection of the photographer and some artwork on the wall behind. #fensterfreitag

"One of the next horizons is to figure out how to engineer the (CART) cells inside a patient’s body, known as in vivo—a much more direct and efficient approach. Weissman is working on targeted T-cell delivery of RNA therapies."
I've worked on all of science, from B cells to T cells.
