"We find that purchases dominate laboratory emissions, accounting for more than 50% of emissions, with a median of 2.7 t CO2e/pers, which is 3 to 4-fold the separate contribution from travel, commutes and heating"

"This series of prints was created between 2017 and 2021 and consists of several aquatints of stages, doors, caves or forests, where figures have been inserted through the technique of chine-collé, and colours added through viscosity printing."

'As usual, I will be rolling up my sleeve at the first opportunity, and I will be inviting fear-mongering anti-vaccine activists like RFK Jr. to go perform various anatomically improbable acts while I do so.'
@josemanuel This most likely means the opposite - these prolonged responses in the non vaccinated are not good for the host. One goal of vaccination is either to prevent infection (which for the subjects of this study is not the case, as it deals exclusively with those who had infections in both groups - not that this *not* mean that the overall rate of infection is the same in vaccinated and unvaccinated).
A separate goal of vaccination is to have fast, specific immune responses that do as little collateral damage as possible (which in practice means lower inflammation, lower levels of the immune signalling molecules measured in this paper, and a shorter duration of response).
'A day earlier, Edwards had met CIA director Richard Helms. Notes from that conversation detail the media baron’s observations on various members of the military, prompting Nixon to request a “gameplan” for a coup that would prevent Allende’s inauguration.'

Born 122 years ago this week, Louis Armstrong's charisma & warmth captivated audiences globally. But, by the 1950s and 1960s, many of his Black Americans perceived him as outdated, out of touch with civil rights, and hesitant to voice his opinions—labeling him an "Uncle Tom." This deeply wounded Armstrong. But he was a far more complex & nuanced man than they knew.

It is actually long overdue for the #press to treat #Musk as the liar he is. But I doubt this will happen anytime soon. People in general, and the press in particular, seem to love a Reality Distortion Field (#RDF).

Benchmarking scATAC-seq
"Hence, an unbiased comparison of the use of different scATAC-seq methods on reference samples, and the resulting ‘benchmark data’, will allow researchers to make an informed method selection when considering scATAC-seq. Our study aimed to reduce ‘information asymmetry’ by equipping researchers with a comprehensive benchmarking of scATAC-seq tools, to increase the quality of data while reducing costs through informed decision-making."
'Our study found that, among individuals recently infected with SARS-CoV-2, those who were fully vaccinated had lower concentrations of almost all cytokines and chemokines than those who were unvaccinated in the short-term and long-term after symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection.'
