#JustPublished!
#ECDC recommends not delaying #influenza vaccination as #flu circulation starts earlier than usual across the EU/EEA this season.

Detections are rising 3–4 weeks earlier than in the past two years, driven by the newly emerged A(H3N2) subclade K.

Congratulations! 🥳

Measles vaccines save millions of lives each year Measles once killed millions every year. Vaccines changed this, preventing disease, long-term immune damage, and deadly outbreaks.

The measles vaccine is one of medicine's greatest successes. It saddens me to think of what is happening to all the hard work those scientists who helped to develop it, including Montana's very own Maurice Hilleman.

@carovinuesa.bsky.social Carola, to you and all others involved ... absolutely stunning and amazing what you achieved here. 🙇

#ThroughScienceToJustice

Truly impressive and inspiring. Listening to the people involved, affected, the person wrongly accused and incarcerated...hearing about the reluctance of the system to correct their mistake... intense.

Nothing but admiration for all involved in fighting for justice.

Dear @bmj.com and @helensalisbury.bsky.social this might be an opinion piece, nevertheless, could you please provide some data / appropriate references on the anecdotal claim cited below? - Thanks a lot.

Stolperstein - Wikipedia

To mark and remember the places where the German Nazis came for someones neighbour, artist Gunter Demnig placed "Stolpersteine" ("stumbling stones") in front of their houses.

Don't let them take your neighbour. Fight fascism.

#MakeFascistsAfraidAgain

2025: Das erste Mal seit dem Dritten Reich, dass eine rechtsextreme Partei in einigen Umfragen die stärkste Partei ist. Die Rückkehr des Faschismus ist keine Möglichkeit mehr. Er ist bereits da. Wir haben uns lange gefragt, was wir anstelle unserer Großeltern getan hätten. Zeit, das umzusetzen.

Dear I'm a Lectern,
I was genuinely not aware of this. My sincere apologies and thanks a lot for enlightening me! Much appreciated! Will do my best not to make this disrespectful mistake again.

Also, great advice to young scientists/researchers:
Work on what 𝘺𝘰𝘶 find exciting, regardless of trends and hypes.

(as far as the system allows...can be one of the biggest privileges in academia...)

A podium is supposed to hold the laptop, not the speaker. Great to see a speaker using the stage to interact with slides and audience.
Also great to see a well-established scientist referring to their own publications without naming the journal.
Content makes a study great, not their "fancy dress".

Crick lecture @crick.ac.uk

Roderick Mackinnon - "Higher order transient structures and the principle of dynamic connectivity in membrane signalling”

Fascinating in terms of science 𝗮𝗻𝗱 truly inspirational. Great to see an academic talk about a topic they genuinely find fascinating and exciting.

Einer der beiden, die den Täter von Aschaffenburg verfolgt haben, bis die Polizei ihn festnehmen konnte, bekam dafür Dankesschreiben von Söder und vom Innenministerium. Jetzt wird er abgeschoben. Wenn ihr nach mehr Abschiebungen ruft, dann sind es vor allem diese Menschen, die es erwischt.

Also a great opportunity to meet over lunch talking about research, science, society, diversity, equity and politics in general.

Other, non-US, research consortia have to step up now to support those affected most, to at least attempt to mitigate damage as much as possible. #NieWiederFaschismus

really amazing and inspiring Crick lecture @crick.ac.uk today by Akiko Iwasaki @virusesimmunity.bsky.social. Long COVID/PASC and similar diseases are affecting so many lives. Their contribution to an improved understanding and possible treatment/prevention strategies truly is impressive.

What makes kids so remarkably resilient to acute #COVID19 as compared to grownups and, especially, the elderly?

Here we take a deep (#singlecell) look into their noses and follow up on what we found in a cell culture model.
