The last part abt how measles disrupts immunity vs other infections is, imo, underappreciated (& mechanism was recently clarified). It's part of why measles vaccination was seen to help beyond just reducing measles complications - not getting measles reduces severity of subsequent infections too.

Bon.
Certaines personnes n'ont toujours pas compris.
Au départ, PERSONNE n'a prétendu qu'il était antisémite de prononcer le nom d'Epstein à l'allemande.
0 polémique.
Sauf que, les journalistes et commentateurs qui utilisaient la prononciation correcte ("EPSTINE") se prenaient des trucs comme ça :

But the Epstein-Mandelson correspondence shows us what happens all the time: plutocrats and government ministers conspiring against the public interest. This is why all lobbying should be in the public domain, but despite Labour and Con promises, it's not. 🧵

We know that immigration now tops the traditional most important issues question (see below from @yougov.co.uk).

We ran a randomized controlled trial to see how much AI coding tools speed up experienced open-source developers.
The results surprised us: Developers thought they were 20% faster with AI tools, but they were actually 19% slower when they had access to AI than when they didn't.
Terrible decisions

🧵 The Myth of Push-Button Bioinformatics
1/ Some think bioinformatics is just pressing a button:
🔘 RNA-seq Analysis
🔘 Make Fancy Figures
🔘 Submit to GenBank
If only it were that easy... but reality is very different.
This is at least six kinds of stupid.
You’re assuming any significant number of birds HAVE immunity (unlikely), that recovered birds recover in any salable way (dubious), that the long-term-sick birds don’t infect humans (improbable), AND that the virus doesn’t mutate (impossible). 🧪
