Hi everyone,
I’m back on here after a hiatus. I’m an engineer who likes to cycle, tinker, work on robotics, machining, make things, and solve problems. I also like to talk about cutting edge science.

"Usually when you see this, you say, 'Oh, this is too good to be true.' But you know what? I think it’s true, and we should take advantage of it." New research found that mRNA vaccines for COVID-19 could enhance cancer treatments. To vaccine expert @erictopol.bsky.social, it's big news.

Yet another unique way to stimulate cellular immunity against cancer.
“Using the gut immune system to induce cellular immunity is a unique approach,” Shirakawa notes. “And it should be very easy to extend it to other antigen proteins and also infectious diseases.”

I will laugh so hard if/when Halligan gets disbarred from acts of extreme stupidity.
Meiselas this past Monday: Halligan says the grand jury rejected the 3-count indictment, so she brought back a 2-count version they supposedly approved, but that part is missing from the transcript. Judge Currie warned the grand jury may never have seen it. If true, that’s criminal.

The next remake of Armageddon is going to be a bunch of scientists and engineers in a control room flinging a bunch of kinetic projectile spacecraft at an asteroid.
3 years ago, NASA crashed the DART spacecraft into an asteroid at 22,000 kilometers per hour. The event changed the asteroid's orbit and tilt & sent it tumbling.
A nearby cubesat captured these remarkable images of the asteroid immediately after the impact. 🧪🔭
