Good morning to Brazilian reporter Manuela Borges, who’s been waiting eleven years for this petty moment. ❤️ 🇧🇷

type for books used to be set using little metal letters built into words in racks and then inked and pressed on to paper. If you had stock phrases you wanted to reuse a lot you could make a cast of them called a ‘stereotype’. The sound of them *clicking* into place, in French, is ‘cliché’

urgently need you guys to know that this French politician below 1) didn't know he'd been appointed as a minister until he saw it on TV 2) reacted by going: "bah pfff voilà"

A satirical comic drawn by Dr. Seuss with a train with a swastika on the front of the engine is barreling down the tracks, and a man in a jacket is sitting on the train tracks wearing an "America First" jacket trying to reassure Uncle Same that the train will turn off at a point labeled "Appeasement Junction" onto a far too small track and not run him over.

Dr. Seuss went hard during WWII.
Lessons should have been learned.

Yay immunology! Tregs FTW! www.nobelprize.org/prizes/medic...

real bravery

Done! 7 laps, 67 km. To be clear, the race is still going on, IM done. 3000 calories - could eat… strava.app.link/8fs8DA6u0Wb

Lap 5 update

Lap 4 update: oh no

Currently done lap 3 and has gone exactly as above, with a major crash due to overexcitement. (Bike and rider are fine)
I plan to learn nothing from this.

My usual performance goes:
Lap 1: take it slow, pace yourself.
Lap 2: why is everyone so SLOW? I’m bored, imma overtake this group, and the next…
Lap 3: imma do a hot lap!
Lap4: oh no. I’m exhausted. How long has that been? [hour 2 of 7]. Oh no.
Lap 5: screaming, crying, throwing up

Doing the Glentress 7 today - 7h mountain bike race. I plan to become a machine which turns peanut butter and jam sandwiches into laps.

Thats where the story ends at the moment - we would love to look at the in vivo effects of HpBoRB against RELM-beta (does it suppress RELM-beta's activity?) but we ran out of time in Viv's PhD. If anyone has any interesting RELM-beta assays they would like to try HpBoRB in, hit us up!

We then confirmed this binding in a number of ELISA, SPR and gel filtration assays - it is a high-affinity (subnanomolar) interaction.
