The FBI put a thousand agents (their own words) on trying to hide all the links between Trump and Epstein. They failed. When people found some additional photos of Trump in the release, the DOJ promptly DELETED THEM FROM THE DOCUMENT RELEASE.

Available to download Friday, some Epstein files no longer there Saturday afternoon
An NPR analysis of the Epstein files shows some documents, originally available on Friday, are no longer on the Department of Justice's "Epstein Library" website as the DOJ releases more files.

“Randomizing newborns to no hepatitis B vaccine at birth in order to evaluate “overall health effects” of an intervention whose primary benefit is already known is indefensible. When benefit is established, withholding an intervention is no longer neutral experimentation; [it is] premeditated harm”
The planned hepatitis B birth-dose trial in Guinea-Bissau raises serious ethical concerns. Withholding a proven, life-saving vaccine from newborns to answer speculative questions is an absence of equipoise with real downstream harms for trust in vaccines.

@simonecoppola.bsky.social has made micromorph, the first native Python application and library for measuring bacterial morphology. It runs interactively in napari or can be easily integrated into automated Python scripts. It integrates deep learning cell segmentation and is easily extended 🔬🦠🧫
Happy to finally share micromorph with everyone!
If you are interested in performing morphological measurements of bacteria, and like using Python and Napari then this is for you!
You can read about it in our preprint, and find the code on our Github repo, PyPi or directly from the napari hub!
