This is a very good explanation of RFK Jr’s misrepresentations of mRNA vaccines. RFK Jr “has perfected the art of undermining public confidence in vaccines”. . . “He makes it sound like he knows what he’s talking about when he really doesn’t know what he’s talking about at all.”
This is a really important piece from @citizencohn.bsky.social -- and particularly timely given that this kind of fake science, endorsed by our anti-vaxxer Health Secretary, seems to have played a role in provoking the shootings CDC last week. www.thebulwark.com/p/rfk-jr-ken...

He’s Making America Great Again—for lethal pathogens.

One of my favourite serendipitous results from the lab came about because we were long-read sequencing bacterial:
Vibrio cholerae, which is "supposed to" have TWO circular chromosomes (3 + 1 million base pairs) often has just ONE fused chromosome (4 Mbp).

Jeg har skrevet lidt i Altinget om vigtigheden af at investere i forskning, og om hvorfor jeg mener, at vi i dag ikke fordeler pengene optimalt. Vi kunne få langt mere ud af det, hvis vi gentænkte ideen med forskningsreserven.
