Clinical studies suggest that patients treated with the new class of weight- loss drugs, known as GLP-1s, lose muscle at far faster rates than people losing weight from diet or exercise, exposing them to health problems, said George Yancopoulos, who also serves as Regeneron’s chief scientific officer.

Israel's attacks on Lebanon have killed 2000 and displaced over a million now.

Here's another aspect of the story you're not likely to have heard of: Lebanon's African migrant community, which numbers around half a million, are among the displaced, the fleeing, the injured.

Unfortunately, and this is incredibly heartbreaking to say it, African migrants are being denied space at shelters that are being declared "Lebanese only."

'In this work, we developed a mRNA–LNP vaccine targeting C. difficile toxins & virulence factors. This multivalent vaccine elicited robust and long-lived systemic & mucosal antigen-specific humoral and cellular immune responses across animal models, independent of changes to the intestinal microbiota.'

'In a panic, I asked a graduate student in my lab for help. We defined a goal for the paper, and I carefully wrote an outline. But when I asked him for feedback, I soon found the paper covered in red marks. Not again.

Before I could retreat in defeat, though, the graduate student explained that red didn’t mean I was a bad writer. Writing isn’t a one-and-done thing. It requires revising your work, often several times. Suddenly it occurred to me, “Hadn’t I done the same thing when I was searching for an efficient inductor design?”'

'To his credit, Jones does not back away. His narrative of Henry’s life is a chronicle of coldhearted decisions, of sieges and massacres, of close friends executed for their real or perceived disloyalty, of heretics burned at the stake, of a damaged soul incapable of gentleness or love. This was Shakespeare’s problem as well, and it is an artistic miracle that the playwright managed to acknowledge much of what was truly awful about Henry without alienating the audience from him. Instead, his play brings the audience ever closer to what was transpiring inside the lonely young king.'

I was in Beirut 2 years ago and it was one of my favorite cities to visit. Absolutely insane seeing Israel blowing it up. Have now heard from a friend who fled from Lebanon to Syria for safety. Can you imagine this? Fleeing to Syria? 😔
