A tiny trial in New York has shown that personalized mRNA vaccines can provoke massive, lasting immune responses against pancreatic cancer, even as sweeping federal cuts now threaten the fragile labs required to produce them.

More adventures in Oaklanding (as in California). This beautiful grilled fish banh mi at Raymond’s Nudough was, I think, $11? Truthfully, the very good fish got lost a little among the other flavors, but I really enjoyed the pate and the brightness of the vegetables.

This is really bad, @gettyimages.com. What the hell were you thinking?
Hey @gettyimages.com, any comment on your new policy of sucking up to fascism? Any effort you'd like make to salvage a thread of journalistic integrity? Get fucked, you horizontal collaborators.
I'm searching Getty Images and found some photos credited to the Boston Herald that redact the faces of ICE/federal agents. They don't redact the face of the guy they're arresting.
I'm curious about the ethics of doing this. I don't think I've ever seen this on Getty before.

AP on Trump now, and Biden in June 2022.
For Trump, declining to 36 percent approval is “good news.”
For Biden, holding steady at 41% is “a source of concern.”

I figured I’d try a Popup bagel as I left Harvard Square. Went in, didn’t want to wait three minutes for a plain to come out of the oven, they gave me a salt and I moved my phone to the sensor to pay. And they said it was free. It was hot and delicious. Great bagel.
