It's the last round of "Eye Spy a Biophysicist"! This scientist studied human tolerance to centrifugal acceleration, and once led the biophysics and bioastronautics division of the US Navy’s thermal lab.

Watching POTUS/VP torch any remaining EU goodwill towards the US was just sad.
Your dignity honors the bravery of the Ukrainian people.
Be strong, be brave, be fearless.
You are never alone, dear President Zelenskyy.
We will continue working with you for a just and lasting peace.

I have been trying to find the time to move away from the polical hellscape we find ourselves in to finish and share a bluetorial about science.
This helps me remember what this is all about.
Ironically, it is about the treatment of pain.

I think people both within science and outside science don’t fully appreciate the miracle that were the Covid-19 vaccines. How much courage it took to get the sequence out, how much work had already gone into figuring out the best viral antigen and how best to present it. 1/
