THIS IS HUGE! Researchers at Scripps Research Institute have developed a groundbreaking UNIVERSAL coronavirus vaccine that triggers STONG immune responses AND shows promise in neutralizing MULTIPLE coronaviruses, including those responsible for causing COVID-19, MERS, AND even the “common cold.” 🧪🧵⬇️

One NIH employee familiar with the matter worries that Trump officials reviewing the NOFOs “may not have the scientific background to understand why funding for research on certain topics is important.”

In first place is a story I wrote in July about EPA's doozy of a methylene chloride rule and what it means for academic labs.

What does the new EPA methylene chloride rule mean for academic labs?
As universities scramble to comply, chemists are worried about the impact on their research

Recently, I was creating a slide to help my students remember the difference between purine and pyrimidine bases for nucleotides and thought: cats purr and the purine base looks like it has ears. While this might not be unique (IDK) I am curious if others have ways to help remember the difference.
