Every machine in a Hospital that diagnoses your body without cutting you open is based on a principle of Physics, discovered by a Physicist who had no interest in Medicine.

If you think the world doesn’t need Basic Science, or that somehow Science has failed you, think again.

Un placer haber contado con la oportunidad de apoyarlo el desde su incepción.

World first: ultra-powerful CRISPR treatment trialled in a person Immune-cell function improved in a teenager whose DNA was altered using prime editing.

The CRISPR family’s most versatile member has made its medical debut: a cutting-edge gene-editing technique known as prime editing has been used to treat a person for the first time

Thankfully, as Paul Valéry said, "the future is no longer what it used to be"!

A stylised image on a dark blue background, with "€1 invested in research," alongside a hand wearing a light blue glove holding a stylised euro. On the right-hand side is the text, "€11 in economic growth by 2045," with another gloved hand placing a pile of stylised coins. In the bottom right corner sits the emblem of the European Union.

Every €1 the EU invests in research can yield up to €11 in growth by 2045.

With €43 billion from Horizon Europe, we’ve backed 15,000+ projects – from antibiotics to the transition.

This year we’ll put in over €7.3 billion to meet Europe’s challenges.

For everyone to benefit ↓

Now, it's time to up the ante.

We are committed to enshrining scientific freedom in EU law, creating a 7-year ‘super grant’ to attract top researchers, and expanding support for the most promising scientists.

A group of people dressed in coordinated outfits are gathered in front of the Berlaymont building of the European Commission in Brussels. They are tossing various European national flags into the air in celebration. A large yellow sign in the centre reads "UNITED IN DIVERSITY," echoing the European Union's motto. Spectators watch the vibrant and festive scene from the background.

Today we celebrate 25 years of the EU’s motto ‘United in Diversity’.

More than words - it’s the heart of Europe. 🇪🇺

U.S. government researchers present 'phenomenal' new data on HPV vaccines A new study seems to confirm that a single dose of the vaccine used to prevent HPV infection is just as effective as two — and, therefore, also helps to prevent cancer.

Verifiable facts vs. the hypnotising, potentially damaging petitio principii widely spread nowadays. Let's remember this in September.

A female scientist with curly red hair, wearing a white lab coat, safety glasses, and blue gloves, is working in a laboratory. She is using a pipette with a red bulb to transfer liquid into a test tube. The background contains laboratory equipment and storage boxes. Overlaid on the image are the EU and Swiss flags, along with the text 'EU-SWITZERLAND Participation in Union programmes' and the European Commission logo

European and Swiss research and education will benefit from a wider pool of talents and scientific excellence.

We've set in motion the agreement for Switzerland’s association to Horizon Europe, Euratom Research and Training, ITER/F4E, Digital Europe, Erasmus+, and EU4Health.

Encouraging observations!!!

Vaccines save lives. Leaders must champion them Attacks on vaccines and the cancellation of research into what causes vaccine hesitancy puts people in harm’s way.

We urge all leaders, for the good of their nations’ health, not to ignore or contradict advice that is supported by a consensus of evidence from research.

RFK Jr. says measles vaccine routinely causes deaths. That's not true RFK Jr.'s claims on the safety of vaccine safety aren't backed by the data.

RFK Jr. misleads, deceives or simply lies when he claims the measles vaccine "routinely" causes deaths. IT DOES NOT.
@matthewherper.bsky.social lays out the facts.

Please, brand-new, impetuous decision-makers: Do Not Make Measles and Other Diseases Great Again!!!

Texas measles outbreak marks first fatality as more cases reported A child in Texas has died from measles, the first death from measles in the United States since 2015.

An unvaccinated child has died from #measles in the West Texas outbreak. So tragic.
Measles is a dangerous disease. Deaths are rar-ish, but they do happen. The measles vaccine is highly effective and safe.

THIS IS HUGE! Researchers at Stanford Medicine have devised an influenza vaccine that prompts immunity to ALL four major flu subtypes AND shows potential against bird flu, indicating a significant advancement in flu prevention and a potential increase in vaccine efficacy. Let’s talk about that! 🧪🧵⬇️

To be alert not to alarm.

For those that are attempting making some diseases "great again". Verifiable facts. Period.
