THIS IS HUGE! Researchers at Stanford University have developed a dual-antibody treatment that remains effective against ALL SARS-CoV-2 variants by targeting a less-mutable part of the virus. This breakthrough could lead to longer-lasting therapies that OUTPACE viral evolution. 🧪🧵⬇️

“Based on the findings and research gaps identified, this scoping review makes several recommendations regarding future directions psychedelic researchers and clinicians can pursue to better understand and benefit from the meaningful overlap of psychedelics and queerness.”

As the government attempts to erase anything related to DEI in government and academia, it is up to individuals and communities to uphold and continue to value diverse perspectives from people with Indigenous, Black, Latinx, Asian, LGBTQIA+, Women, and Disabled identities.
