Here is another example where scientists have generated systemic immunity against human papilloma virus using nasal delivery of a cationic nanogel containing the HPV16 E7 protein as an antigen. In addition, an anti-tumor effect was seen. Game-changing!
Vaccines save lives.

Cationic nanogel–based nasal therapeutic vaccine induces cancer-specific immune responses and inhibits cancer development in cervical tissue.

It's pretty obvious that Trump is super excited to see what bribes/gifts Saudi Arabia is bringing him.

Like a kid on Christmas Eve.

It is just so gross to see that so many world leaders debase themselves and kiss this US admins ass. Zero respect for themselves or the country they represent.

One day, in the very near future, we will hold these appeasers of fascism to account.

Especially those who should have learned from the first time around.

Let's make sure this time around we make the penalties memorable to avoid any more occurrences of this disgusting and shameful BS.
To negotiate a trade deal with the President of the United States, the Swiss government arrived with a "special Rolex desktop clock" and "a 1-kilogram personalized gold bar"

Call out with the Feuerwehr today to deal with an oil spill down the main highway to Hamburg.

Happy to be of service. Now back to putting up my X-mas lights :-)

I completely agree. Labour has betrayed any trust we had in them.

Any Labour MP or Councillor who is not defecting to the UK Green Party deserves to be voted out for supporting their party over their country.

We need to send a clear signal that Labours shift to the far-right is unacceptable.
If you feel like you voted for Labour and got Reform, time to join @zackpolanski.bsky.social and the Green Party.

Don’t be taken in by the right wing smears, today’s Green Party is passionate, intelligent, and honest. They have consistently impressed me.

Who would have imagined we would ever hear this from a Labour government

What is wrong with us?

That it is even a competition between these candidates is beyond insanity.

Kast, whose father was a German Nazi who fled, is promising to be anti-immigration and adopt Trumpism.

Kaiser, who is further to the far-right?

And Jara who wants to protect workers/human rights.

Everything else aside, that is a neat data visualization. I like it.
Gosh, why and how could that be? Such an enigma!

What is the definition of the best MRI scan ever? I mean, when it comes to MRI's seeing nothing wrong is as good as it gets.

So if your doctor states it is the best they have ever seen... are they just talking about how the resolution/image quality was improved or that it finished in record time?
Release the MRI images, too
Trump: I had an MRI and the result was outstanding.

Reporter: Was it your brain?

Trump: I have no idea what they analyzed, but whatever they analyzed, they analyzed it well.

As an immigrant in Germany on a work visa I can say stuff like this is super annoying. My work visa is tied to my passport expiration date. Which is a maximum of 10 years. It is easy to renew, and I plan to get my citizenship before it expires.

The visa expiry date does limit me in what I can do

There will always be those who have hope and will never stop exploring.

Over the next hill, the next island, the next planet, the next solar system, the next galaxy... whatever is beyond our vision, we are driven by a need to know the unknown throughout our whole existence. It's core to who we are
The Fermi paradox asks why we've yet to find evidence of intelligent extraterrestrial life. The odds are we should!

A NASA scientist suggests that "alien societies might plateau at modest technological levels and even grow bored with exploration."
