A picture is worth a 1000 words. The birth dose of hepatitis B vaccines in the USA eliminated perinatally acquired hepatitis B infection from over 20,000 cases a year before the vaccine was introduced to <20 cases a year. The gaslighting by the current members ACIP is obscene, unethical and cruel.

Data centres are energy hungry but what if we could use their waste heat to heat our homes?
That's exactly what happens in places like Finland: Cities are tapping the vast amounts of waste heat generated by data centres, and feeding it into district-heating networks.

Fellow chemists, scientists, and lab rats,
Next semester, my Crime Scene Chemistry class is focusing on miscommunication.
Do you have any stories about improperly labeled items in the lab that led to confusion or an accident?

There is apparently no point in checking out the "preview" to get ahead of the Biosketch game because it warns you that everything you fill in will be lost and you will have to start over when the real thing is rolled out.
