Adolfo Garcia-Sastre, a microbiologist at Mount Sinai’s medical school who wasn’t involved with the study, called the work
“a good vaccine to have ready in case of any outbreaks with this virus”
However, he thinks this approach may fall short in tackling human influenza.
“H5 changes in multiple directions, so a central antigen makes sense,
while in the human flu or human SARS-CoV-2,
the central antigen moves with time.”

I just bought Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis on Good Old Games for less than 3 bucks. I have never played it. It's 33 years old by now...

In-game screenshot of Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis. It shows the inside of a temple with beige stone walls and stone floor in a pixelized art style. Three people are standing in the room (Indiana Jones in brown leather clothing, a woman with long red hair wearing blue trousers and another man wearing a tropical explorer outfit).
The bottom quarter of the screen is filled with activity verbs like give, open, push or pull as well as items the player has collected. A magazine and Indy's…

If I don't force-close my morse code drill app, sometimes it just starts playing even if I'm nowhere near my phone. Often sitting a good distance away charging in the middle of the night. The author of the app has looked for and failed to find any logical cause for this problem.
It's a google Pixel, and maybe I'm seeing a variation on something others have been seeing:

Well, having been miserably unwell all weekend, I got up today and made some useful progress on the new workshop. It's not as much as I'd like, but I've used all the energy I have so it will have to do for today.

The pillars and wall plate of the north end of the workshop fully jointed, lying on trestles, with the first of the diagonal braces being offered up so I can cut the mortices in the right place. Yes, I know I could have just half lapped the brace, but one has some remnants of one's pride.
Detail of offering up the brace. Its tenons are already cut, but the mortices to receive them have not yet been started.

“We got interested in this because other researchers, for years, have been describing this type of ecological memory
of soil microbes having some way to remember from their ancestors' past,”
“We thought this was really fascinating. It has a lot of important implications for how we can grow plants, including things like corn and wheat.
Precipitation itself has a big influence on how plants grow,
but also the memory of the microbes living in those soils could also p…

Hey everyone,
@…’s mom needs your help:
“My mother has been suffering from chronic diabetes, and some time ago, one of her toes had to be amputated. During the war, her condition has worsened, and she now relies on a walker to move. 💔
Today, she fell inside our tent, and her foot got injured again – it’s swollen and bruised badly…

Content warning: Cooking & food

Just finished round 1 of #Thanksgiving cooking.
I have extremely mixed feelings these days about a holiday founded on genocide (seriously, official Thanksgiving #1 was "hooray we killed these natives, let's celebrate" which is deeply ironic/horrific given that the whitewashed origin story also did happen years earlier). But I'm a big fan of cooking and feasting, so that's what I focus on.
I'm vegetarian so no turkey.
I made "chiraji sushi" in my heavily bastardized personal style, as well as vegetarian stuffing. Both were pretty successful, although I truly regret forgetting to put nuts in the stuffing. I ended up using "smoky chipotle" flavor "better than bouillon" for the stuffing soup base, which pairs surprisingly well with the chopped persimmons. I tried doing microwave -> pan fry -> bake for the potatoes and carrots, and while they turned out good, they weren't as amazing as I'd hoped for.
The sushi (with stir-fried carrots, onions, mushrooms, and peas, plus fried tofu chunks and fresh cucumber and canned corn) turned out excellent.
Now I just need to decide what to have thirds of.

There are plenty of #HamRadio CW operators who, as a politeness, greet you by name when you have a QSO, even a POTA QSO. But they also see "Michael" and send "Mike" because "Michael" takes a long time to send.
I get it, "Mike" is shorter, but... I just don't go by "Mike"
I do go by "MKJ" — I used that for decades on IRC, and now at work there are so many Mi…

I've spent the past year learning Morse code, and it's ended up being a great deal of fun. I've had a lot of questions. I've tried to share what I've learned with others as I've gone along.
To celebrate the end of the year, I wrote a combination of information, story, and advice. How to get started, mobile apps and websites, books, getting on the air, learning to send, POTA, SST, keys and keyers. I'm not fluent or expert yet, but that means that I still remember what's hard!
