In eigener Sache: Die "Ostdeutsche Allgemeine Zeitung" listet mich auf ihrer Seite als Teil der Redaktion auf. Das ist falsch. Ich habe nie für die OAZ gearbeitet und werde das auch nicht tun. Meine freie Tätigkeit für die zur selben Gruppe gehörende Berliner Zeitung habe ich Ende November 2025 ↘️

Multivalent mRNA vaccine platform with compatible antigens conferred broad-spectrum protection against orthoebolaviruses’ exposure | PNAS (Includes Bundibugyo virus)

If you are interested in molecular regulation of innate immunity or nanobody technology, we have a few exciting postoc positions to fill in the Schmidt lab @unibonn.bsky.social in the context of @immunosens.bsky.social. Please share!

For a fistful of dollars. Simply irresistible

Dear journalists, neither Andes virus nor Bundibugyo virus are Hanta- or Ebola-VARIANTS, respectively. They are virus SPECIES. Species differ much more from each other than variants do. Thank you for your attention to this matter

Also was war denn jetzt zuerst da, die Pfanne oder das Ei?

1/6 The link to the statement of the Hantavirus Society is a bit shaky just now (wonder why...) To keep you informed by the real experts, you find the screenshots below bsky.app/profile/frie...

Even our cells are feeling it. Aging "increased cytoplasmic stiffness and...decreased intracellular movement"

We need to correct the wide-spread omission of equal contribution in article indexing

New in @science.org ‼️ In the most comprehensive study to date, we show that wildlife trade is driving animal-to-human zoonotic spillover at a planetary scale, with +1 spillover per host every 10 years. Live animal markets and illegal trade pose even greater risks. 🔓 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Hmm, killing off senescent ("aging") cells may not be the road to eternal youth. Oligarchs will not be pleased. Not my field though

De novo generation of the furin cleavage site (FCS) in influenza viruses In SARS-CoV2, the existence of an FCS was a key argument of lab leakers that it must have been constructed in the lab. Fantastic work

Also wenn Ordnung das halbe Leben ist, dann kann man doch spätestens ab dem 50sten darauf pfeifen

"Nahezu ausnahmslos handelt es sich dabei um Homöopathen, Naturheilkundler oder "integrative Mediziner"." Soennichsen auch erwähnt.

Exklusiv: In Bayern sollen offenbar 27 Arztpraxen bei Masernschutzimpfungen von Kindern betrogen haben. Das zeigen Recherchen von NDR, WDR und SZ. www.tagesschau.de/investigativ... @mgrill.bsky.social, Timo Robben, @mandysarti.bsky.social

“hasslers”=people in one’s close social networks who create problems or make life more difficult "Each additional hassler is associated with faster biological aging" => the idiots on X shorten our lifespan (here less of a problem)

Eine Mitarbeiterin bei #Weleda mischt eine homöopathische Verdünnung an. Dieses "rhythmisieren" darf nach esoterischem Glauben nur von Hand geschehen. Damit sich schlechte Gedanken nicht auf das Produkt übertragen, fixiert sie stoisch einen dafür vorgesehenen Punkt an der Wand gegenüber.
