On Sept. 13, an MSF bus carrying 10 humanitarian staff in #Gaza City was damaged by an Israeli airstrike on a targeted vehicle just two metres away. One MSF staff member was injured in the strike.

Wondering if you should get up early for your vaccine for the best immune response? Kai-Michael Tollner's recent paper with the University of Birmingham says don't bother if you're under 60!
Time of day of vaccination does not influence antibody responses to pneumococcal and annual influenza vaccination in a cohort of healthy older adults - PubMed
Vaccines are less immunogenic in older adults, partly due to immunosenescence. Having previously shown that morning influenza vaccination may be more immunogenic in older adults (mean age 71), we…

Bad news for climate just announced! In 2024, Earth's average temperature temporarily exceeded 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels for the first time. This breach highlights accelerating climate risks - toward the end of the "safe zone" defined by the Paris Agreement.🧪🌐🌍 www.nature.com/articles/d41...
Earth breaches 1.5 °C climate limit for the first time: what does it mean?
The threshold has been exceeded for only one year so far, but humanity is nearing the end of what many thought was a ‘safe zone’ as climate change worsens.
