In all fairness though, how do Israel know ??? The bodies would be badly decomposed by this stage (unless recent death)… DNA test takes a few weeks to come back. I don’t believe anything Israel says anymore, it’s all about their agenda and twisting things to suit them to continue annihilation of 🇵🇸

I should have gone sooner, it started to act up a few months ago on and off and I thought it would heal by itself. The knee has been ongoing issue anyways. But I’m getting the treatment now and over next 10 weeks minimum and I’ll follow all to the letter, exercises and all, need to put in the work!

Interesting thread related to triple negative breast cancer among others.

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have developed a cancer vaccine that has shown STUNNING results, PREVENTING up to 88% of MULTIPLE aggressive cancers by harnessing dual-pathway nanoparticles that train the immune system to recognize and destroy tumor cells. In some cases, it COMPLETELY prevented metastasis.

We will be bringing them to the forefront of people’s minds later next year with a series of papers :)

Their ancestors also known as cave hyena … much larger than their descendants today, spotted hyena. But yep we have a few of the cave hyena/Ice Age spotted hyena roaming around the southern Irish landscape. Stay tuned for more about our research on these later next year!

While listening … am washing cave bones from our July excavation… holding a partial ulna (front leg) bone in my hands of an Ice Age Spotted Hyena (the larger ancestor to modern spotted hyena in Africa). Yes, Ireland has these top predators/scavengers some 40,000 years ago! #PALAEOIreland 🏺
