Gonna talk in entomology class today about how Jewish scientists forced to work in Nazi concentration camps secretly sent fake vaccines to the eastern front and managed to kill 4,000 Nazis with typhus.
Vaccine subterfuge: How vaccine-makers fooled the Nazis from inside a concentration camp lab
Confined first at Auschwitz then Buchenwald, a Jewish microbiologist conspired with a ragtag team of scientists and rebels to send dud typhus vaccines to the German soldiers on the eastern front.

#13DaysOfHalloween Day 8 is the bat flower. Resembling a bat in flight, this stunning perennial is found in the understory of tropical Southeast Asian regions. It has bat-like wings (bracts) and cat whiskers (bracteoles). Its color and faint decaying scent attract flies and beetles as pollinators 🧪

The intractability proof (a.k.a. Ingenia theorem) implies that any attempts to scale up AI-by-Learning to situations of real-world, human-level complexity will consume an astronomical amount of resources (see Box 1 for an explanation). 13/n
