Thanks for sharing this...if anyone is interested in a non-sialic acid receptor that allows cell infection of influenza (H1N109) do reach out!

Also - it is harder to get permission to drive a car than to have and raise a child (or many children) from conception until they are fully independent. How do we learn the skills to do that successfully..?

Take everything left and give it to the wealthiest - after imposing a giant tax increase via the tariffs - mainly on poorer people?

A waste of time - this happens periodically, and the frontline people are not paid enough to care...

But this "banker" is still anonymous while claiming this, so not that comfortable - because society is still decent overall?

My former and current departments are hiring. Exeter (former) is hiring for Lecturer (Asst Professor) in IR. At Southampton (current department), @rikkidean.bsky.social is hiring a post doc for his ERC. Both departments are wonderful, and happy to speak glowingly of either. Links to each in thread.

Obviously people who are both would be the ideal - no reason why such multi-talented people cannot be identified and supported.

This is a follow-up from a previous study that showed that the polyclonal sera two dogs had two or three antibodies, and two of those antibodies were cloned and characterized at high resolution in this new study. www.nature.com/articles/s42...

A waka found on the beach could be the most important discovery in New Zealand archaeology.

4 dairy herds in Nevada recently diagnosed with #H5N1 #birdflu were infected with a different version of the virus than has been spreading in cows elsewhere. Evidence of a second (at a minimum) spillover points to the challenge of stopping spread, experts say. www.statnews.com/2025/02/05/u...

USDA milk testing shows different strain of H5N1 bird flu in Nevada dairy herds

The USDA said four Nevada dairy herds were infected with an H5N1 bird flu strain that has circulated in wild birds, making prospects for containment in cows appear dim.

I would have signed up for the THE SOMME: ALBERT, DELVILLE, BAPAUME tour: My great uncle was killed near Bapaume on August 29, 1918, and I have visited to see the battlefield and his grave. Hard to imagine it as a battlefield now.

Also due to lack of training in experimental design, knowing how to develop and test hypotheses, poor understanding of data analysis and what constitutes a replicated experiment - as well as out -and-out fraud and completely fake AI generated papermill products.

Interesting - my great uncle died near Baupame August 29, 1918 and is buried near there. Have been visit the battlefields and his grave a couple of times - looks a lot different from the 1920s.
