Well worth a read--a great example of how some remarkable women navigated the sexism of their day to make important contributions 🧪
In 1977, American physicist John H. Van Vleck won the Nobel prize for his work on magnetism. In his Nobel lecture, amid a discussion of rare earth elements, one sentence leaps out:
"Miss Frank and I made the relevant calculations."
Who was Amelia Frank?

BA.3.2 emerged in Nov 2024 after ~3 years of intrahost evolution with >50 new spike AA muts, but since then, it's changed very little.
Could the mutagenic drug molnupiravir (MOV) galvanize BA.3.2 into pursuing new evolutionary paths? A new 89-mut BA.3.2 sequence hints that it could. 1/11

Recently published figures showing a huge drop don't take into account new restrictions introduced by this government. So further falls are very likely.
To give one figure from the post in August 2023 we gave out 18,300 health/care worker visas. Last month it was just 600.
