Take the ability to block away, and Twitter immediately becomes utterly unusable for anyone who doesn’t revel in being overwhelmed by an avalanche of racist, misogynistic, bigoted filth - and that’s intentional, of course. An incitement of abuse.

During WWI, Marie Curie created a vehicle that contained a hospital bed, a generator, an X-ray machine and photographic darkroom equipment. These “petite Curies" (below) could be driven right up to the Front. Curie also helped train 150 women as radiology technicians.

'Mère Ubu, inspirada en la sátira Ubu rey, del autor francés Alfred Jarry, es eco, para Miró, de la crueldad del déspota, memoria de la dictadura franquista y recordatorio de que la tentación autoritaria sigue anidando en nuestras calles.'

'Our aim was to answer two questions: (1) Is COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy, intention, or uptake associated with HPV or hepatitis B (HBV) vaccine hesitancy, intention, or uptake? and (2) Is exposure to COVID-19 vaccine misinformation on social media associated with HPV or HBV vaccine hesitancy, intention, or uptake?'
"Another key parameter in CAR T cell infusion products is the ratio of CD4:CD8 T cell subsets. Yet, it is unclear whether CD4+ and CD8+ CAR T cells have the same propensity to induce CRS. This is particularly relevant since CD4:CD8 ratios can vary extensively in distinct infusion products."

"Several years ago it was recognized that the cGAS-STING system was a key part of the inflammation seen in microglial cells in the aging brain (and in the brains of people with neurodegenerative diseases). And this new paper has tracked down further details: the reason this inflammatory pathway has been set off is the leakage of DNA from damaged mitochondria in those microglial cells."

"When leptin failed, he tried a different gut hormone, ghrelin, whose effects were the opposite of leptin’s. The more ghrelin an animal had, the more it would eat. Perhaps a drug that blocked ghrelin would make people lose weight.
“Again, it wasn’t that simple,” said Dr. Tschöp, who left Lilly in 2002."

'But income inequality within countries is rising, as measured by the Gini index, a measure of income distribution across a population. Globally, in the 15 years to 2019, economic output in terms of gross domestic product (GDP) roughly doubled, but the share of economic output earned by the workers producing the goods and services behind the increase fell from 54.1% in 2004 to 52.6% in 2019.'
I've worked on all of science, from B cells to T cells.
