Gut microbes shape the body’s response to vaccination. Researchers led by Ruth Ley discovered that the human gut microbiome may help determine how strongly the immune system reacts to vaccination, with bacterial flagellins contributing to inflammatory responses: www.bio.mpg.de/569449/news_...

~Approximately no one in the general public knows because the leaders of the R1 research universities - whose budgets, programs, & personnel are entirely or significantly dependent on federal funding - have been totally absent from the public square in explaining & collectively protesting this.

I don’t think everyone realizes how bad things are for US science: For the fiscal year that just ended, the Trump regime withheld $1.4 billion from the National Science Foundation’s research budget, which is about 1/5 of its primary research budget.

If you missed it last week, we published the largest ever study on emerging infectious diseases. Not really in vogue right now, but the next pandemic will come sooner than you think.

Scientists have found a human gene lurking in a virus that causes skin infections. It may be using our own DNA to infect us.

Ok, this "there are two separate brains" thing appears to be making the rounds, and I want to be absolutely clear: this is a press office overhyping some perfectly reasonable science that won't come as a surprise to most developmental biologists.
