Just heard about this huge (49 state) long covid trial using tirzepetide (aka zepbound) one of the newer glp meds. It’s run by researchers at scripps, funded by the eric & wendy schmidt foundation. It looks like it is still enrolling, fully remote participation:

Another great graphic from the Wild to Mild campaign. This one shows an elk (Wild) and a baby deer (mild). It says A Flu vaccine can take flu from Wild to Mild. In smaller print - “talk to your health care provider to tame the worst of the flu"
Flu shot: not perfect but a hell of a lot better than the ICU. 💉
Vax efficacy depends on flu strain circulating.
’24-25 flu season - especially severe. Luckily 💉was 56% effective against getting flu.
🚨 W/ the vax, even when flu hits, it hits softer🚨
(i.e. less likely to be hospitalized/in ICU/die)

Today was a hard day for Ph.D. students who found out that they can no longer apply for NSF's prestigious Graduate Research Fellowship Program. "Devastating“ was how one student described it to me. #GradSchool #NSFGRFP

It seems the GRFP solicitation is FINALLY released (like 5 minutes ago)! Due dates have also been pushed back, thankfully! 🧪 🔭

The “problem” with vaccines? They so effective at preventing deaths that they create generations of people that question whether disease was a problem in the first place because they have never experienced the horrors of a world without vaccines.

@ucddublin.bsky.social also has a lovely reuse tradition. UCD stores usable items left behind. Then provides an opportunity for incoming students to select items they need for their accommodations when the fall semester begins. Super helpful for students' tight budgets, international students, etc.
