Individualized mRNA vaccines evoke durable T cell immunity in adjuvant TNBC - Nature In a phase 1 trial, personalized mRNA vaccines tailored to individual tumour mutations in triple-negative breast cancer induced robust, long-lasting T cell responses and improved prognosis.

More hope from mRNA vaccines. In this instance, individualized vaccines were given to women with triple negative breast cancer following surgery and adjuvant therapy. The results are quite remarkable. Despite cancer finding a β€˜T cell-evading’ work-around in some patients.

Why some are hailing SA renewables as a model for the world Despite its small population, SA is widely seen as a demonstration of what renewables can mean for people in industrialised democracies.

South Australia shows that wind, solar and battery power, when combined, are extremely inexpensive.

Black-and-white historical portrait of Constance Tipper, the pioneering English metallurgist and crystallographer. She is gazing directly at the camera with a calm, intelligent, and composed expression. Tipper has short, neatly styled dark hair parted on the side with soft waves framing her face. She wears a patterned blouse or dress with a high collar, evoking early-to-mid-20th-century professional women's attire. The soft lighting highlights her determined features against a plain, neutral background, capturing her as a trailblazing scientist whose work on brittle fracture revolutionized materials engineering and saved lives during and after World War II.

Letter from the AFP:

Dear Mr Taylor,

I'm writing in regards to your role in the Cayman Island company which received $80 million from the Federal Government as part of a water rights buyback that occurred without tender in 2017 when Barnaby Joyce was agriculture minister. 

Even though you were director of Eastern Australian Agriculture and have said "I was a consultant" of the company, here at the AFP we can't find any evidence at all that you're in anyway dodgy or corrupt. In fact, it's surprising that anyone brought it up. You are hereby completely exonerated of everything.

Good on you. Keep it up. You're a legend.

Yours sincerely,
Reece Kershaw

It’s all coming home to rouse reliance on petrol cars, flying, burning, cutting down. Boiling at one end of the planet and freezing at the other. Stop effen drilling! Stop useless consumption and plant more trees, it’s not hard. Get out of our comfort zone before it’s a hell zone!
