Under 65 years old? No Novovax COVID vaccine for you this year. As expected, the Republicans have enabled RFK Jr. and his coterie of antivax grifters to take away your right to make your own medical decisions in consultation with your doctor. Gift Link: www.nytimes.com/2025/05/17/h...

Zancolli, @marcrr.bsky.social @agneeshbarua.bsky.social et al. show that venom glands in marine predatory snails evolved via functional divergence from digestive organs, involving gene expression shifts and enhanced secretory machinery. 🔗 doi.org/10.1093/molbev/msaf095 #evobio #venom #mollusca

What’s striking to me is that the study had been ongoing for 4 months, but University of Zurich’s IRB was only notified last month. With IRBs I know, doing that would get you in deep shit. Apparently UZH’s IRB “can offer researchers advice but lacks the power to reject studies”. I have… questions.🧪
