Memorial Day is for remembrance of those that gave their all for the United States. Those individuals may not have had any influence on policy, but they did their duty.
I wish we had not lost some policy, set to a higher standard. I wish that many officers and enlisted personnel had learned the lessons of inclusion for all of the people...
A little kebab. Marinate of kefir, turmeric, and a variety of other seasonings. On naan, dresses with tzatziki, and feta.
@garyackerman No. No it is not. I remember a high school teacher telling me, "The only school you will graduate from is the school of hard knocks..." 18 CLEP tests later, and a few additional classes, plus a GRE, I had an undergrad degree. A couple years later, while going to sea, I completed an MPA... More than one path.
Waiting to download Homeworld 3. Yay, retirement.

Today #CDC is supposed to launch a new dashboard showing where #influenza A virus — at this time of year probably #H5N1 #birdflu — is showing up in wastewater. Hopefully we can get a better idea in real time where cow outbreaks are occurring. Maybe. https://www.statnews.com/2024/05/13/cdc-wastewater-surveillance-dashboard-bird-flu-outbreak-monitor/
@HelenBranswell I wish that the variety of police powers Public Health once wielded, would be restored. Victims of our own success.

Over the past 27 years, #H5N1 #birdflu has repeatedly defied #flu dogma, doing things scientists thought #influenza viruses couldn't or didn't do. We would be foolhardy to assume it doesn't have more tricks up its sleeve. https://www.statnews.com/2024/05/09/bird-flu-upends-avian-influenza-dogma/

Scientists from #CDC and the Texas health department report on the human case of #H5N1 #birdflu infection, which they suggest may be the first detected case of H5 that involved mammal to human infection. https://www.statnews.com/2024/05/03/bird-flu-virus-texas-dairy-farm-worker-first-mammal-to-human-spread/

And then there were 28 .... mucosal Covid vaccines in clinical trials.
As well as a new oral vax entering first-in-human trial in Australia, an aerosol vax from Canada called AeroVax is on its way to phase 2.
Plus there's a new type of vaccine in development in Canada - a next generation of a next generation vax! & the human challenge study consortium has had its first international meeting.
Much more in my next generation vax update @PLOS
