"A US federal court recently ruled against requiring health insurers to cover HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) under the Affordable Care Act. For every 10% decrease in PrEP coverage resulting from this ruling among US men who have sex with men, we estimate an additional 1,140 HIV infections in the following year in that population."

People who are at high risk of developing severe illness if they contract #Covid are being offered spring booster shots in Canada and the UK. Will the US follow suit? Not clear, but it's looking like probably not.

Do you teach workshops or other short-format training & are interested in some recommendations to help make them more inclusive and effective?

Our Banbury working group put some ideas together into "The Bicycle Principles" which prioritizes evidenced-based teaching, inclusiveness, & equity, & the ability to scale, share, & sustain short format workshops.

Check out the preprint & thanks to everyone who put these together especially Jason Williams & Rochelle Tractenberg!

"Ideal for pre-tenure faculty within the first three years of starting their position and advanced postdoctoral fellows who have accepted a job offer, the main goal of this course is to foster a supportive community of practice. Participants will learn together, building relationships with colleagues who are going through similar experiences."

"The UK is getting “clobbered” by the US and China, says Nightingale, and being outshone by smaller nations such as Singapore, Switzerland and Denmark."

On the one hand, Singapore, Switzerland and Denmark pay their academics a salary commensurate with the many years of necessary training, a life dedicated to the fullest to the job, and the outsized impact of the educational sector's output on the economy. The UK, on the other hand, doesn't. How can anyone be surprised.

An Illustrated Tree

From the fun­da­men­tal con­cepts of bio­lo­gy, the fact that all or­gan­isms now alive share a com­mon an­ces­tor (LUCA) ranks as one of my fa­vo­rites. When I pause to con­si­der that, des­pite four bil­lion years of evo­lu­tion and di­ver­gence, my ri­bo­so­mal RNA shares some stret­ches of se­quence iden­ti­ty with all other au­to­no­mous or­gan­isms, I still get goose bumps...

Anti-BCMA CART cells in relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma.

"At a median follow-up of 18.6 months, the median progression-free survival was 13.3 months in the ide-cel group, as compared with 4.4 months in the standard-regimen group (hazard ratio for disease progression or death, 0.49; 95% confidence interval, 0.38 to 0.65; P<0.001). A response occurred in 71% of the patients in the ide-cel group and in 42% of those in the standard-regimen group (P<0.001); a complete response occurred in 39% and 5%, respectively."
