Happy birthday to #geologist & #paleontogist Alice Wilson (1881-1964).
A job in the Mineralogy Division of the U of Toronto Museum was her entry into #geology. In 1909 as a museum assistant with Geological Survey of Canada (GSC), in Ottawa, she catalogued & labelled invertebrate paleontology collections. After completing her BSc in ‘11 she was 1st woman offered a position at GSC & 1st female geologist in #Canada.

“Billionaire philanthropist” is an oxymoron. A true philanthropist would never amass that much wealth in the first place.

'We identified an EOAD family in Flanders-Belgium in which AD segregates in an autosomal dominant manner, though known mutations in the causal genes were excluded. Follow-up genetic investigation resulted in the discovery of a deleterious missense mutation in the TLR9 gene.'

Several schools in Arkansas are defiantly teaching AP African American history. The state has warned them that the students will earn no credits.
Republicans continue to describe Black history as "indoctrination" and "teaching children to hate America" -- showing that they might benefit from the course themselves.

Intrinsic severity of a virus is a byproduct of many traits, a product of selection on other features. Any attempt to guess the intrinsic severity of BA.2.86 (within reasonable parameters) is just that-a guess. Will be a while before we can measure it. It is far, far too early to evaluate the potential of this variant. And it is a timely reminder of the role of evolution in the ongoing pandemic.
