The measles vaccine is one of medicine's greatest successes. It saddens me to think of what is happening to all the hard work those scientists who helped to develop it, including Montana's very own Maurice Hilleman. #vaccines #measles #publichealth #montana ourworldindata.org/measles-vacc...

Measles vaccines save millions of lives each year

Measles once killed millions every year. Vaccines changed this, preventing disease, long-term immune damage, and deadly outbreaks.

#ThroughScienceToJustice Truly impressive and inspiring. Listening to the people involved, affected, the person wrongly accused and incarcerated...hearing about the reluctance of the system to correct their mistake... intense. Nothing but admiration for all involved in fighting for justice.

2025: Das erste Mal seit dem Dritten Reich, dass eine rechtsextreme Partei in einigen Umfragen die stärkste Partei ist. Die Rückkehr des Faschismus ist keine Möglichkeit mehr. Er ist bereits da. Wir haben uns lange gefragt, was wir anstelle unserer Großeltern getan hätten. Zeit, das umzusetzen.

Crick lecture @crick.ac.uk Roderick Mackinnon - "Higher order transient structures and the principle of dynamic connectivity in membrane signalling” Fascinating in terms of science 𝗮𝗻𝗱 truly inspirational. Great to see an academic talk about a topic they genuinely find fascinating and exciting.

Einer der beiden, die den Täter von Aschaffenburg verfolgt haben, bis die Polizei ihn festnehmen konnte, bekam dafür Dankesschreiben von Söder und vom Innenministerium. Jetzt wird er abgeschoben. Wenn ihr nach mehr Abschiebungen ruft, dann sind es vor allem diese Menschen, die es erwischt.

really amazing and inspiring Crick lecture @crick.ac.uk today by Akiko Iwasaki @virusesimmunity.bsky.social. Long COVID/PASC and similar diseases are affecting so many lives. Their contribution to an improved understanding and possible treatment/prevention strategies truly is impressive.
