#ScienceSunday #Vaccines Here is another example where scientists have generated systemic immunity against human papilloma virus using nasal delivery of a cationic nanogel containing the HPV16 E7 protein as an antigen. In addition, an anti-tumor effect was seen. Game-changing! Vaccines save lives.

So sick of this all in vain grant writing by now. And still 3 years and 1 month to go (provided it will get better after this)

British and Australian chemists have discovered a powerful new antibiotic called pre-methylenomycin C lactone, hiding in a well-known soil bacterium. This molecule kills drug-resistant bacteria without triggering resistance. buff.ly/YlXaONo #ShareGoodNewsToo

Clinical trials help improve cure rate for cancers, helped doctors improve recommendations for routine health screening such as CT scans for lung cancer or colonoscopies. 🧪🎁🔗 www.nytimes.com/2025/11/13/w...

Mammalian apex predators like tigers with solitary lifestyle are more prone to cancer death. Sharks, non-mammalian apex predators, are thought to have low rate of cancer (they have remarkable genome stability and slow rate of evolution). Why are they so different? 🐅🦈🤔 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Researchers say they believe they've documented the first known death from alpha-gal syndrome — a red meat allergy caused by tick bites. n.pr/3WZbXZU

What a photograph. “Nearly two dozen arrested as faith leaders protested outside a federal immigration facility near Chicago…” Arrested large amounts of peaceful clergy face first on pavement is a pretty good sign you’re not the good guys in the story. www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

This is Archie. He's deaf and doesn't hear when his humans get home. Luckily, his little brother Frankie lets him know with a gentle nudge to make sure he doesn't miss the moment. 14/10 for both (TT: melissamilne)

NEW: Jenna Norton, an NIH employee who is openly critical of Trump & RFK Jr, has been put on "non-disciplinary" administrative leave. She says the administration is trying to "scare and silence me." An HHS official, asked to comment, called her a radical leftist. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/13/u...

Why don’t we just ban science. It would have about the same effect. And of course, this is while US companies are shopping in China for new technology. www.science.org/content/arti...

This is nuts. How many labs and programs had 🇨🇳 postdocs or grad students or collaborators? And then 5 years retroactively? Going forward is one thing but being basically banned from your employment and from making a living when you happen to be on a paper with a 🇨🇳 scientist 5 years ago??

I've been on the road so I'm behind the times—but if you wanted to destroy US science, I can think of no more expedient action. Blatant unconstitutionality aside, fuck this backwards forwards and sideways. www.science.org/content/article/u-s-congress-considers-sweeping-ban-chinese-collaborations

Just got an email from my SRO for the study section that was missed in October. Good news is that they are trying to reschedule ASAP (Dec/Jan). The bad news is that CSR is mandating that only the the top third (not half) of applications will get discussed for the next 2 rounds.

After 10 years, I am stepping down as chair of our department and we have an active search going on! Utah is a phenomenal place to live and work and it's been the honor of a lifetime chairing the department founded by Lou Goodman. #MedSky #Neuroskyence Repost! jobs.chronicle.com/job/37914733...

Forward Funding 2026

The goddamn @nytimes.com had these emails since 2015 on their email servers👇

CHatGPT: "no increase or cut for NIH; it just extends existing levels until Jan 30, 2026. Any real change to NIH’s FY26 appropriation will come later, when a full Labor–HHS bill is finally enacted. It does not newly legislate a 15% indirect-cost cap (or any other specific NIH indirect rate).

Do we have any idea what is in this budget bill regarding NIH budget, NSF budged and IDRs? Asking for all my fellow scientists in the US and for a nation (NIH funding = drug pipeline = more cures)!

There’s a heart-shaped feature in the Sun’s corona - seen in a recent SDO’s A193 filtered image, which captures the hot solar atmosphere. ❤️☀️ The Sun’s sending its love to Earth … cause nothing says love like an X-class flares and series of proton showers! 😅

Ex Secretary of Finance Lindner in 🇩🇪 who blocked everything when in the last administration working now for a discount car sales enterprise is so on brand. The Onion couldn’t have written it better. (Gift article in German) www.spiegel.de/wirtschaft/u...

One car here is not like your usual car and certainly not your everyday commuting car. I would be nervous to leave my silver Roma Spider as commuting car at the train station parking lot… Thankfully that will never be one of my problems.

Reading a New Yorker article. When senior advisers to the administration write an outlining how to “destroy Columbia University” I think more academic institutions should have realized that this is not a good faith negotiation with them in anything…

Are you an early-stage graduate student (2nd or 3rd year) or early-stage postdoc based in the US or Canada, working primarily in Drosophila? Would you like to help improve the experience of all trainees working in Drosophila research? If so, read on. (Please repost to reach a broad audience.)

There's a bloke who looks like this in every rugby club in South Wales.

The thing to understand about this is that this catastrophe in the UK has redounded to the political benefit of the very same people and political movement that pushed for it! Extremely perverse.

Really wish I had gotten a better shot of this but holding a phone that says “who else was just ‘following orders’?” up to a riot cop is hard as hell

A real president does this. Thank you to every veteran who’s worn the uniform and carried the weight for the rest of us — just respect 🇺🇸
