The goal of a PhD is not to learn some facts or read a few papers or learn a bunch of techniques. The goal of a PhD is to learn independence, problem solving, how to finish things you start, resilience, & gain the ability to adapt & think creatively. Learning these things is hard.

Protein has become a buzzword in health and wellness circles, but the scientific evidence supporting the craze is mixed. Nature spoke to researchers about what’s behind this trend and who might benefit from protein supplements.

The protein craze: scientists talk supplements — and who should take them
Most people can get enough protein in food, but certain groups can benefit from protein powders and related products.

Evolution of SARS-CoV-2 T cell responses as a function of multiple COVID-19 boosters
Evolution of SARS-CoV-2 T cell responses as a function of multiple COVID-19 boosters
da Silva Antunes et al. examine SARS-CoV-2-specific immunity across 3 years of repeated vaccinations. While antibodies increase with each booster, T cells responses plateau early and remain stable without signs of exhaustion or functional impairment. Asymptomatic infections promote Th17-like and regulatory CD4+ T cell expansion, suggesting balanced immunity.

Online now: Online now: The endogenous antigen-specific CD8+ T cell repertoire is composed of unbiased and biased clonotypes with differential fate commitments
The endogenous antigen-specific CD8+ T cell repertoire is composed of unbiased and biased clonotypes with differential fate commitments
The polyclonal CD8+ T cell response to a single antigen is the average of several hundred individual T cell clonotypes. Abdullah et al. demonstrate that most clonotypes exhibit TCR-intrinsic differentiation biases toward memory or effector fates and are…
