Holy shit, we just got a big donation from a generous contributor, putting Team Alf way up the board, so we're moving the goalposts out to $30,000. $30,000 to help address the shortfall left by SNAP. Can we get there tonight?

“The results are just remarkable,” says maybe one day it will be possible to create mRNA vaccines that optimise this response. “Could we make a master key in the form of an mRNA vaccine that wakes up the immune response in everybody with cancer?”

Yesterday we visited Green Mountain Falls, CO to visit the kinetic sculpture Off the Beaten Path by Patrick Shearn. I wasn’t ready for just how dynamic it was even in the slightest breeze. Reminds me of a murmuration of starlings. Incredible artwork. It’ll only be up through October 19th.

'The findings add weight to a growing body of evidence that beavers may be acting as ecosystem engineers, reshaping waterways in ways that benefit not just their own survival, but that of entire landscapes.'
How Canada's buck-toothed national emblem could help fight wildfires | CBC News
New research out of the western U.S. suggests dams and ponds built by beavers can slow floods, store water and even create green firebreaks in wildfire-prone landscapes.

Reposting to highlight the already-existing potential of mRNA technology to develop cancer treatments.
A new type of vaccine based on mRNA technology is seen by many as a potential breakthrough in the fight against cancer.
We sat down with oncologist Lennard Lee to discuss why he hopes these vaccines will prove to be the “silver lining of the pandemic.”
