Today I introduced smallpox eradication in the vaccines class I’m co-teaching w/ @jackiantonovich.bsky.social
A public health hero I learned about prepping for this class is Benjamin Rubin. He developed the bifurcated needle, & waived all royalties for needles manufactured under contract w/the WHO.

I am here to say vaccines are awesome because guess what Denmark is close to completely eliminating the two most dangerous HPV strains (serotype 16 and 18) and with the cervical cancer.I think that is bloody AMAZING!!!!

Denmark close to wiping out leading cancer-causing HPV strains after vaccine roll-out
A nationwide study suggests infections with human papillomavirus (HPV) types 16 and 18 have been virtually eliminated since vaccination began in 2008 – protecting even unvaccinated women.

Is it possible for DNA to lag a little behind if the DpnI digested product was directly loaded onto the gel? I am expecting 5.5 kb bands, these are almost 5.8 if not 6. The plasmids were at 5.5 kb before I digested them.

Stuck in protein expression. The proteins from lane 4 onwards should be 48kDa and yet they fall between 33-43kDa. Initially I thought it must have been some contamination so I did another transformation with fresh plasmid but still the same thing.

🦟New study out of @vectorgen.bsky.social's lab finds #Wolbachia in Aedes aegypti can both help and hinder virus control, depending on the strain.
This highlights the need for more research to unlock Wolbachia's full potential against mosquito-borne diseases.
