Still on #HPV and vaccination, here is an excellent educative comic book to explain the importance of vaccination to 9-12 years old (the ideal age to receive the HPV vaccine). Volume 2 is dedicated to HPV and cancer.

#MIMG-XL102 Today we talk about #HPV #vaccines and their impact on #cancer. Here is just one recent study on cervical cancer following >100,000 women (!) in the Netherlands 🇳🇱.

#Measles almost completely disappeared from the US with #vaccination
Here is the data, state by state, from 1932 to 2002. Unfortunately we might loose the elimination status this year

Note: this is the real Measles (Morbillivirus), not the German measles or 3-days measles (Rubivirus)

#MIMG-XL102 Look at these plaques made by #bacteriophages 😍
drhhnz.bsky.social Heather Hendrickson @drhhnz.bsky.social · Apr 12
Every Friday I meet with the lab group and it is hands down the most fun I have at work. This week, Danielle Kok had this exciting #phage plaque plate. It may not look like much but for us, this was super exciting! #NZLabLife #Microsky #Mevosky
Many different phage plaques in a bacterial lawn.
