Or, perhaps bringing three necessities of good fortune to a city: the one on the left holding in her right hand water, the second an olive branch (sustenance), and the one on the right modestly lifting the fabric off her shoulder and presenting her hip (fertility)?

both lack foundation in their premise and confess a profound ignorance about epigenetics, the immune system, and vaccines in general.

You don't need to be a coder to figure this out. Simply type: tab age

You'll discover a smattering of 99 year olds, a few 100 year olds, a couple of 101 year olds, and a pileup of 150 year olds, but no-one in their 130s or 140s. That's a clear sign you've discovered a coding issue rather than fraud

Rather than relying on customer support, perhaps a nice letter to MS’s Chief Counsel, cc:ing their Board Risk Committee as well as EU authorities, explaining the risks to law firms, healthcare, DoD contractors, etc. and how it may create liabilities for them as well as for MS itself.

Experiment at the intersection of chemistry and microbiology: cheddar jalapeño sourdough batard. Sweet/sour from the dough, umami and salt from the cheddar, and a touch of heat and vegetal from the jalapeños. Enjoy!

Zeit Online showing a black and white picture of Elon Musk giving the salute, with blue painter's tape covering his arm. The headline is "Ein Hitlergruß ist ein Hitlergruß ist ein Hitlergruß" (A Hitler salute is a Hitler salute is a Hitler salute).

Die Zeit won't even show the salute.

It would be ironic if the phrasing of the birthright citizenship EO confers upon someone born in the US “but not subject to the jurisdiction thereof” the same immunities from arrest or prosecution as those of a diplomat.

Why you are not allowed to say that your 95% confidence interval contains the true parameter with a probability of 95% A shibboleth is a custom, such as a choice of phrasing, that distinguishes one group of people from another. The term goes back to the Hebrew Bible, in which the inhabitants of Gilead identify members...

Field-specific expertise like this is why I feel scientists in other fields should collaborate with statisticians for their statistical analysis just as they should work with chemists for understanding how things work at the molecular level, etc.

Here's a clever new study looking at where mRNA vaccine lipid nanoparticles (mRNA-LNPs) go after vaccination (using relevant doses of vaccine) in non-human primates (and mice): www.cell.com/molecular-th...

Map showing the number of times a location has burned in SoCal and which kind of fire it was: one burning under Santa Ana winds, or one that was a summer, fuel-driven fire without Santa Ana winds. Malibu area had burned at least 8 times from 1900-2017, and has burned twice now since. Image from Kolden and Abatzoglou (2018): https://www.mdpi.com/2571-6255/1/2/19

Here's the reality about the #LAFires this week: this isn't the first time ANY of these places have burned. Not even close. In 2018, we mapped CA fire history to look at fire frequency across SoCal. Santa Monica Mtns area burns more than anywhere else -- up to once per decade in a given spot. 🧵

People sometimes make fun of science that sounds stupid and random.

Meanwhile, a study of lizard saliva turned into a peptide medication, which was turned into a diabetes medication, which was turned into a GLP1 weight loss drug, that just became the first therapy every approved for … sleep apnea

Today we report that an engineered skin bacterium, swabbed gently on the head of a mouse, can unleash a potent antibody response against a pathogen. Could lead to topical vaccines that are applied in a cream. @djenetbousbaine.bsky.social led the charge... @natureportfolio.bsky.social 1/55
