Unbelievable news. Pancreatic is one of the deadliest cancers. New paper shows personalized mRNA vaccines can induce durable T cells that attack pancreatic cancer, with 75% of patients cancer free at three years—far, far better than standard of care. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Now more than ever is a great time to be reminded of the powerful work of Margaret Morgan Lawrence (1914-2019) & honor her extraordinary legacy. Decades before "social determinants of health" was coined, she spoke of "nature, nurture and noxia" 🧵 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Margare... #BlackHistoryMonth

Dorothy B. Porter changed libraries 💜 The Dewey Decimal System used to only have two classifications for Black people: 325 (colonization) & 326 (slavery). Each book by a Black person was put into one of these classifications. A book of poetry? Classified as colonization. Enter Dorothy B. Porter 🧵

Knowledge is power. Each day during this Black History Month—a month the government doesn’t want us celebrating—I will be sharing amazing books by Black authors. Book 1: Parable of the Sower by Octavia Butler. A title written decades ago, but begins on February 1, 2025. #Edusky #Books #Booksky

If you want to get your little uns (maybe age 6-11?) hooked on Terry Pratchett, this excellent new collection of three of his early children's stories is a really good place to start. Tis beautifully illustrated, too. It'll be a short step from this to them asking about the Hedgehog Song.

I wish someone would think of the librarians when naming stuff. I’ve just found a PROM with the “catchy” acronym PRIORITIZE. Because that word is NEVER used in other scientific studies and won’t add 50 trillion records to a database search… 🙄
