Can technology resolve social problems by reducing them to engineering challenges? In the 1960s, Alvin Weinberg answered yes, popularizing the term “techno-fix” in the process. The concept was immedia...

In this article, I discuss and demonstrate how research into real-world scientific problem-solving provides a novel window on the mind and insight into the human capacity to design and utilize resour...

Common as they are, reinfections may have lasting impacts.

Our interferon-associated signature of early SARS-CoV-2 infection characterises a subgroup of exposed, uninfected contacts in three independent cohorts who may have successfully aborted infection prior to induction of adaptive immunity. The earlier transient upregulation of signature genes in PCR-negative compared to PCR-positive CHIM volunteers suggests that ultra-early interferon-associated innate immune responses correlate with, and may contribute to, protection against SARS-CoV-2 infection.

A landmark study has found the virus that causes COVID-19 accumulates and persists in the body - especially the brain - for years after infection.

Background: Complex chronic conditions like Long COVID and Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome involve energy limitations and changes in heart rate variability (HRV) and resting heart r...
