Good news! Although wow is meningococcal B serogroup a tough customer on the vaccine side of things- but 64% VE is way better than nothing.

Protecting #tissues from #autoimmunity is a fascinating function of the immune system: in this new work on #innateimmunity in the salivary gland it is #lymphoid #NKcells that regulate #TCells and prevented autoimmunity via TRAIL-dependent elimination of CD4+ T cells. These NK cells show adaptive-like features with long-term residency in non-lymphoid tissues. #immunology

3Dprint x-ray crystallography data as a ribbon. They make for amazing toy-like scientific models, or beautiful large-format works of art meant for display in museums or galleries. Submit a #3DPrint request and one of our visualization scientists will create a custom Biologic Model for you #biotech https://biologicmodels.com/3d-print-request/

In the acknowledgements of his paper "Phylogenies and the comparative method", Joseph Felsenstein writes, "The suggestion that pairs of closely related organisms could be used in a way that avoided the need to know the full phylogeny was made by a student during discussion following my seminar at the Department of Genetics, University College, London. Unfortunately, I have been unable to discover her name."
Do any of y'all know if this mystery woman's identity has ever been revealed?
The picture is from William Vollmann's "Europe Central" - but the quote also sums up an extraordinary book, Julian Barnes' novel about Shostakovich, "The Noise of Time".

ICYMI, we did an episode of the #EMBOPodcast featuring pediatric infectious disease physician Ameneh Khatami who published a single patient study in @EmboMolMed
It's the story of a seven-year-old girl infected with a multi-drug resistant #Pseudomonas strain who underwent #PhageTherapy.

“This means . . . there should always be a way to maintain phage effectiveness, for example by alternating treatments,” explains Jason Clark, chief executive of Fixed Phage, a UK supplier. “You can’t do this with antibiotics.”

"That Babi Yar, by the Russian Ukrainian writer Anatoly Kuznetsov, never joined the list is a strange omission with a story of its own. The book’s subject, the Nazi occupation of Kyiv, and its literary qualities make Babi Yar every bit the peer of the canonical works of witness. Its fraught journey to publication half a century ago, and now to a reissue (with an introduction by Masha Gessen) amid the Russian assault on Ukraine, only adds to its power as enduring testimony. The book’s very typography carries the scars of its struggle to tell the truth."

NEW: Elon Musk fired a top engineer over his declining view counts.
Plus the reason the site went down yesterday, fears about an upcoming FTC audit, and more, and more.
