Five years on: the relentless spread of the #BlackSummer fires down the east coast of Australia over six months between 2019-2020.

The scale and speed of the fires is still pretty shocking and difficult to comprehend.

Retraction by PLOS ONE @plos.org of a paper I reported in AUGUST 2014. Yes, more than 10 years ago! 🎉

Figure 2C from the paper, showing three panels, with pinkish background and dark purple cells. Two panels overlap, as shown by green boxes added to the figure. Figure 4D from the paper. It has three columns, 6 rows, so 18 panels showing different staining of tissues samples. Panels have white background with cells colored either pink, brownish, blueish, or purple. Two sets of boxes (green and dark red) highlight regions of overlap.

i made a short comic about how vaccines work back in 2015! i thought i'd share it here c: (1/4)◾
Vaccines play a significant role in preventative health care. The purpose of this comic is to explain how they work and why they're important, and hopefully some fun facts that you might not have known! Adaptive Immunity and How Vaccines Work. Your immune system protects your body against pathogens: bacteria, viruses, and other microbes that cause disease. You have several levels of defense. Your skin, mucus, and stomach acid all prevent pathogens from entering your body. You have some cells that will attack and destroy anything that does not belong in your body. You also have an adaptive immune system that learns to recognize and target specific pathogens. The cells involved in adaptive immunity are the white blood cells: T and B cells. B cells grow and mature in bone marrow. All cells - yours, bacteria, viruses - have structures called antigens. These are like name tags. These name tags help your immune system know who belongs and who doesnt. When a B cell encounters an antigen that does not belong, it binds to it. They then meet with a T cell before deciding what to do. After this meeting, the B cell can then turn into either a memory B cell or a plasma cell. Memory B cells remember the antigen in case they ever see it again. Plasma cells produce antibodies to the antigen. Antibodies are little markers that seek out and bind to the invading microbe. The antibodies mark the microbes for destruction by other immune cells. If you get the same infection in the future, your memory B cells will still be around, and will turn into plasma cells and produce more antibodies without needing to meet with T cells.
