The Trump administration terminates funding for polio, HIV, malaria and nutrition programs around the world. “People will die,” said Dr. Catherine Kyobutungi of the African Population and Health Research Center, “but we will never know, because even the programs to count the dead are cut.”

Natural immunity—it's not what they say If only there were a way to expose us to a tiny bit of the microbe with no ill effects. Natural infection with: - Measles creates immunity amnesia, wipes out 11–73% of all of your protective antibodies - Tetanus? Survive it, and you still have zero immunity

Know what’s not cost-effective? Measles outbreaks The 2019 Clark County, WA outbreak cost about $3.4M - $47,479 per case - $814 per contact Crucial resources were diverted to measles triage, isolation, contact tracing, and treatment pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...

Live cell #imaging tools can reveal chromatin dynamics over time, but a multicolor #DNA imaging method is still needed. This study presents ParSite, based on the T. thermophilus ParB/ParS system, enabling simultaneous imaging of three genomic loci in living cells đź§Ş @plosbiology.org plos.io/40y7oae

Neglect, it is. WHO finds that the direct cause of "the mystery disease" in Congo is malaria, exacerbated by malnutrition. Malaria can be *cured* by a few cheap pills, as long as it's caught early. So these are deaths of neglect. www.reuters.com/world/africa...

WHO malaria report: “According to WHO’s latest World malaria report, there were an estimated 263 million cases and 597 000 malaria deaths worldwide in 2023. This represents about 11 million more cases in 2023 compared to 2022, and nearly the same number of deaths”. We need to do better
