"Richard Sharp owns a multimillion pound stake in a healthcare company which was granted nearly £600,000 for Covid research while Sharp worked in No 10, it has emerged."

“We show that a cell connecting gene that is found in nerves and their surrounding supporting cells may play key roles in the basis of many diseases.”

We interviewed Anthea and Erik to find out more about their research:

Diogo Ramada Curto elucida-nos um pouco acerca do "folhetim #AlbertoManguel".

"Do pouco que se sabe acerca de Alberto Manguel, há dados que necessitam de ser confirmados. Mas, de modo geral, será sempre necessário escrutinar o figurão em causa, uma vez que lhe foram concedidas condições de privilégio, pelo menos à escala da Câmara Municipal de Lisboa."

Research Chair of Applied Pathogen Ecology at University College Cork: “One of the things I find amazing is #Covid19 really gives your immune system a very big hit, it takes out your T cells, your dendritic cells and a lot of those modes of action or very similar to the modes of action that cause Long Covid... This current wave is not just about lack of exposure, it’s also about the fact that none of us have quite the same immune system as we used to have."

What do people think happens when we put 30 kids together in a poorly-ventilated classroom for six hours a day, five days a week?

It isn't magic.

"Illnesses have ranged from simple colds to RSV, stomach flu, strep throat, COVID-19 and influenza… Multiple staff and students have tested positive for COVID, with 'almost all grades affected.'"

This is really cool: A tool to generate transgenic Tardigrades!

Also love their genome: "The genome size of R. varieornatus is relatively small, 56 Mbp, and the median length of intergenic regions is less than 1 kbp"

A broadside with a figure of Death aiming with a crossbow at the viewer. Highlighted are the 3 bolts: the first is labelled Heute (today); a used and broken one labelled Gestern (yesterday) lies at the ground. And there is the third bolt waiting in the quiver for Morgen (tomorrow).
