Breakthrough in search for HIV cure leaves researchers ‘overwhelmed’
Breakthrough in search for HIV cure leaves researchers ‘overwhelmed’
Exclusive: Melbourne team demonstrates way to make the virus visible within white blood cells, paving the way to fully clear it from the body
A cure for HIV could be a step closer after researchers found a new way to force the virus out of hiding inside human cells.
The virus’s ability to conceal itself inside certain white blood cells has been one of the main challenges for scientists looking for a cure. It means there is a reservoir of the HIV in the body, capable of reactivation, that neither the immune system nor drugs can tackle. Continue reading...

Quebeckers might notice the parallels with the CAQ's investigation of the "climate" at Vanier and Dawson colleges, which has focused on courses that talk about Palestine. What information do such investigations produce? What kinds of actions do they eventually enable?
NEW: U.S. Department of Education is launching new investigations into 60 colleges and universities over alleged “relentless antisemitic eruptions.” This follows new executive orders signed by President Trump expanding the definition of antisemitism to include criticisms of Israeli policies.

I was interviewed by @msjpauly.bsky.social for @motherjones.com regarding that awful gamete size "sex" executive order. A bit of an explainer here of why the science is so bad, and why that's dangerous:
Trump’s definitions of "male" and "female" are nonsense science with staggering ramifications
"How can you so fully misunderstand basic human biology, and then legislate about it?"

resolved: people who insist that all social media sites must be places where users are constantly encountering and arguing with people over fundamental disagreement do so because their actual, real lives are echo chambers where they do not encounter any meaningful difference from day-to-day.

In fact, there never was a “battle.” By staying at Twitter, you were never “fighting the good fight.” You were being manipulated by an algorithm into believing there was a conflict you could win by arguing on the internet. This was never a real thing.
Leaving Twitter doesn’t “cede it to the fascists.” That battle was lost long ago.
