This is absolutely terrible news. With the shifting regulatory climate (i.e., antivax ratfuckery), Moderna has withdrawn their application for their eagerly anticipated COVID-flu combo vaccine. This vaccine offered better protection than getting each shot separately. h/t @merz.bsky.social

say it again: 4 million people work in higher ed, the largest employer in 10 states, second largest employer in 10 more, and in 60 of the 100 biggest cities ROI for NIH and NSF for local economies is conservatively 4x, often close to 10x demolishing higher education is economic sabotage

OK, this is wild. In September 2023, geophysicists across the world started monitoring a very odd signal coming from the ground under them. It was picked up in the Arctic. And Antarctica. It was detected everywhere, every 90 seconds, as regular as a metronome, for nine days. What the HELL? 1/

Hey everyone! Your friendly microbiologist here with a PSA. Measles can wipe out a lots of your B cells…the memory cells of your immune system. It’s called “immune amnesia” - so, you might survive the measles infection…but your immunity to every other infection could be lost/diminished for years.

For decades, the US raced to be the best in STEM. Now, while we are in a race to literally sustain human life on this planet, the US has benched its starters and canceled all training camps. It won’t just end our country - it may cause the extinction of our species. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Just read the phrase “rapidly evolving research landscape.” I would prefer “temporarily bass-ackwards.”

For freaks sake, stop saying protestors are paid. It’s literally what the protests were about - I.e., paying to get what you want as opposed to democratic decisions.

THIS IS HUGE! Researchers at McMaster University have discovered a NEW peptide antibiotic that targets a broad range of disease-causing bacteria INCLUDING those RESISTANT to existing antibiotics. This discovery marks the first potential new class of antibiotics in NEARLY 30 YEARS. 🧪🧵⬇️

As I look through this feed, it is absolutely clear that we are in a dystopian nightmare…and we aren’t doing anything…and the reason we aren’t doing anything…. is that we have this internet structure to simultaneously expose us and also protect us.

An incredible peek behind the curtain at official NIH grant termination documentation by @maxkozlov.bsky.social. This is such an absurdly haphazard, ill-conceived, extraordinarily vague, slipshod, slapdash effort. Talk about arbitrary and capricious.

“Vitamin A is not an effective way to prevent measles…two doses of the [MMR] vaccine are about 97 percent effective. …vitamin A can cause liver damage…doctors at West Texas hospitals have said they’ve seen patients with yellowed skin and high levels of liver enzymes…both signs of a damaged liver.”
