I think Americans have to understand things won't go back to normal and no one is coming to save us. The self destructive decision to vote for Trump is going to cause long term pain, damage and weakness. We have to survive and try to rebuild something better. Generational effort sadly.

Musk and his team have hostilely taken over OPM. Tonight’s email to fed employees mirrors the “Fork in the Road” message sent to Twitter (now X) staff after Musk’s 2022 takeover. He is working with the Trump administration to build profiles on federal workers based on loyalty (political standing).

Measles is so infectious that kids who aren't vaccinated WILL get it if exposed.

Not widely known: measles causes immune amnesia (also termed measles immunosuppression). That is, it erases your immunity to OTHER infectious diseases you obtained via either vaccination or exposure. 🧪

Turning tides for endotoxin testing The drug industry may finally phase out using horseshoe crab blood. What took so long?

Here's an uplifting story! I just came across this AWESOME article by @laureloldach.bsky.social in @cenmag.bsky.social.

US #DrugManufacturers long relied on horseshoe crab blood for endotoxin testing, a key #microbio QC step.

Late 2024, that finally changed. (1/6) 🧪

Paper nautilus octopus love to ride around the open ocean and stick to things, as this very lucky camera man learned the hard way (“they had to be peeled off the camera body and returned to the pod”)

Listen with sound up for adorable bonks. 🧪🌊🐙🦑🌿
