Scientists engineered potent antibodies targeting a hidden site on COVID’s spike protein.

These resist variants, work in mice and patients, and could lead to better vaccines and treatments.

A major step toward broad, lasting immunity.

I’m glad Biden got every penny appropriated to Ukraine out the door before the melon felon takes over. You know he’d impound that money if there were any left. 🇺🇦 🫶

A colony of microbes, found sealed within a 2 billion year old rock in South Africa, may offer a glimpse into evolutionary history long before the emergence of multicelluar life. An amazing find. 🧪

In case you were not there in early days of Twitter…

DO NOT SUBSCRIBE TO BLOCK LISTS.

It sounds like a great shortcut, but malicious actors come in and create lists that include folks from our side.

This was a huge problem in 2017 on Twitter.

Just block trolls as they hit your feed.

Reading Madeleine Albright's Fascism: A Warning and I can’t help but see parallels.

Trump’s disregard for law, vengeful rhetoric, and efforts to evade accountability mirror the early steps of past autocrats.

History has lessons for us — if we’re willing to learn. ⬇️🧵

I noticed a young couple having trouble setting up their tent at Gluepot, so I tried to help.
After chatting for a bit, the guy looked at me and asked, "You wouldn't be Sandy Horne, would you?" [chuckling, yes]
"We're only here because of you!" 😆
Here's another red-capped robin.
