While we’re left in the dust.

Holy shit, we just got a big donation from a generous contributor, putting Team Alf way up the board, so we're moving the goalposts out to $30,000. $30,000 to help address the shortfall left by SNAP. Can we get there tonight?

Edit: there was a NYT article that was supposed to be attached here.

Study finds mRNA coronavirus vaccines prolonged life of cancer patients

“The results are just remarkable,” says maybe one day it will be possible to create mRNA vaccines that optimise this response. “Could we make a master key in the form of an mRNA vaccine that wakes up the immune response in everybody with cancer?”

The next cancer-fighting mRNA vaccine may already be here Covid vaccines may come with a tantalizing benefit that has nothing to do with the virus they’re designed to protect against: boosting the immune system to better fight tumors during cancer treatment

Thank you, Governor Healey.

Yesterday we visited Green Mountain Falls, CO to visit the kinetic sculpture Off the Beaten Path by Patrick Shearn. I wasn’t ready for just how dynamic it was even in the slightest breeze. Reminds me of a murmuration of starlings. Incredible artwork. It’ll only be up through October 19th.

How Canada's buck-toothed national emblem could help fight wildfires | CBC News New research out of the western U.S. suggests dams and ponds built by beavers can slow floods, store water and even create green firebreaks in wildfire-prone landscapes.

'The findings add weight to a growing body of evidence that beavers may be acting as ecosystem engineers, reshaping waterways in ways that benefit not just their own survival, but that of entire landscapes.'

Where are they going to put the homeless, possibly mentally ill, people?

Reposting to highlight the already-existing potential of mRNA technology to develop cancer treatments.

What’s the plan for fall vaccines? If you're confused, you're not alone. The dominoes have stalled, which can turn out to be a big problem.
