Here's a terrific new paper from one of my classmates about #ImmuneCheckpointInhibitor induced #myocarditis. This work finds that CD8+ T-cells are the critical mediator of heart inflammation, and identifies the alpha-myosin cardiac protein as a candidate autoantigen: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-022-05432-3 #science #medicine #immunology #cardiology #oncology #Tcell #genomics #scRNAseq

Sat down to eat at a "Saizeriya" (Japanese Italian chain) restaurant in Tokyo and immediately noticed the CO2 meter on top of the UV-C disinfection box on top of the counter. Wow.
I've seen the CO2 meter at several restaurants including a ramen place and an okonomiyaki restaurant, and now I'm seeing UV-C. Japan is so far ahead in recognizing #COVIDisAirborne. #COVID19

Remember when leaders ended public health measures claiming that they could always reinstate them when hospitals were overwhelmed again? Well, that’s happening now. Where are the mask mandates? Where is the urgency?
