GOOD NEWS! Phase I clinical trial results out of Johns Hopkins show a first-of-its-kind vaccine designed to target common KRAS mutations was safe AND stimulated KRAS-specific T-cell responses in 90% of study participants who were at HIGH risk of developing pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC).

Pancreatic Cancer Vaccine Triggers Immune Response Before Tumors Develop

Phase I results show early promise for a vaccine designed to prevent pancreatic cancer in people at high risk of developing the disease.

Some people might not be aware, but it is entirely possible that without Dolly Parton we wouldn’t have had a COVID vaccine. She partly funded Moderna’s research and gave the largest individual contribution to make it all happen. Just gives you an idea of the kind of person she was.

Being anti-AI isn't enough. You should be pro-art, pro-artist, pro-writer, pro-worker. Don't expend all your energy tearing people down. Spend it lifting people up instead. Make their voices so loud, their art so visible, it drowns out the slop.

I had to put my very best girl down on Thursday. She took a sudden turn and there was nothing anybody could do. She was 14. I am hoping I can go pick her ashes up next week. I want my girl home with me so badly.
