keep up the good work. TBH I think a lot of emphasis on this vector is because the team at Oxford have been studying it for years. and they are not going to change now because of clinical science. All their new candidates use the same vector

tbh 65% od people sticking with an injected drug for that length of time is astoundingly high

Polls: 90% of Americans want #vaccine access, for US to be global science, tech leader

Nearly all (89%) say vaccines are essential for public health (97% of Democrats, 89% of independents, and 82% of Republicans).

A new inhalable treatment for tuberculosis: Once-weekly nanoparticles match daily oral rifampin in mice Researchers at the Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences at the University at Buffalo have developed a new inhalable form of tuberculosis (TB) treatment that could significantly reduce the burden of current therapy.

A once-weekly inhalable nanoparticle formulation of rifampin demonstrated comparable effectiveness to daily oral dosing in mouse models of tuberculosis, with improved lung drug delivery. doi.org/hbn5xk

Figure 17 shows a range of estimates of the impact of Brexit on GDP per person, using similar methods to the aforementioned study to compare the UK to other countries.The estimates vary based on the economic variables (such as educational attainment and openness to trade) used to match the UK to the countries which make up its counterfactual path. The range reflects the challenges in accurately identifying a counterfactual – we cannot observe how the UK would have grown had it remained within the EU – but it suggests the impact on GDP per person may well sit above 4 per cent already.

Failing to pursue closer integration with the EU creates tension with the Government’s growth ambitions.

The Brexit impact on GDP per person may be bigger than feared; the impact on GDP per person may well sit above 4 per cent already.

The great Ministry of Defence-to-Palantir pipeline Senior defence officials are moving into Palantir roles as the company secures ever-deeper footholds across government

😡 Four former defence insiders hired by Palantir in a single year.

A £240m MoD contract awarded without competition.

A “strategic partnership” announced soon after.

The revolving door between defence and big tech is spinning fast.

My reading of Hanta is that the course of the disease is about 7 days where the historical accounts of sweating sickness can be lethal in a day from onset of syptoms. I would be interested in your thoughts.

@boghuma.bsky.social Hi Dr Titanji, have you ever looked at the sweating sickness from the 1500s in Europe? Medieval experts posit a Hanta virus as the cause.

Pop star Bad Bunny needed a Puerto Rican history scholar. UW–Madison had just the one. Bad Bunny collaborated with UW–Madison history professor Jorell Meléndez-Badillo on Puerto Rican narratives that accompany the new album “DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS.”

Not at all surprised to learn that Bad Bunny has a historical adviser. His halftime show was a reminder that our history and culture are deeply intertwined with the rest of the western hemisphere. We should think of his performance as part of #America250. #SuperBowl

The NHS advice almost rules out measles if rash not present. I hope we can get some uk studies similar to the Tanzania study.

Have you seen the paper from Tanzania that suggests that up to 30% of measles patients may not show a rash? Should we be doing PCR on children in hospital to detect atypical measles?

if you have any friends coming to London lemme know, I will get you a copy and give to your friend. Internayional shipping is a nightmare at the moment. you might be able to get it from a library?

In Praise of Pratchett About six years ago, I wrote a paean in praise of Terry Pratchett – because I have, for over 30 years, been enthralled by his prose. And then yesterday, I heard that he had died.  No! I cried…

I did a lot of blog posts, back there in 2015. Here’s one in praise of Pratchett, he of fond memory. edrybicki.wordpress.com/2015/03/13/i...
