Never thought I'd be this proud of being bad at reading papers, but here we are -- my truth is out, smack in the first line😅 Fun to chat with you about this Kamal Nahas!

The deepest article I've seen on the "miracle" drug, lenacapavir, and how it was made. One section explains in LOTS of detail how lenacapavir shuts down the HIV capsid (despite claims by drug developers that it couldn't be done) and why the molecule has ten (!) fluorine atoms.

We are now closer than ever to an HIV "vaccine". A single injection of #lenacapavir offers six months of protection! But getting the medicine to everyone who needs it comes with its own challenges. Read all about the global effort to end HIV/AIDS in Asimov Press

With support for PEPFAR on shaky ground, we need new solutions for tackling HIV. Today in Asimov Press, Kamal Nahas explores lenacapavir, a new drug with unprecedented efficacy, explaining how it works, and how accessible it will be for those who need it most. read below

Many school students get a chance to look at miniature life through a microscope, but while growing up in a remote town Manu Prakash wasn't able to. That didn't curb his curiosity. Now he makes frugal microscopes (some out paper!) to expand outreach. thebrilliant.com/2025/04/02/sca…

The story of how Edward Jenner invented vaccines has been told time and time again. But you may not know the story of the wounded horse that led French scientist Gaston Ramon to change vaccines forever. Read all about it in Asimov Press

Little research has been done on archaea—microbes inhabiting salt lakes, geysers & hydrothermal vents—as scientists assumed they keep to extreme habitats. But new evidence shows they thrive in the body. Read about what they do there in my latest feature. the-scientist.com/archaea-inhabi…

Thrilled to share my first essay for Asimov Press as a columnist! Model animals like the lab mouse are used to minimize genetic differences. I explored the impact that mutations accumulating over time have on their genomes and what effect that has on reproducibility.

Bot-made art undermines research and public trust in science, say illustrators frustrated by inaccurate and outlandish depictions. Kamal Nahas Ella Marushchenko Jacob C. Blokland nature.com/articles/d4158…

nature recently published an #interview about the increasing use of #generative_AI for the creation of scientific images and covers, and I took part in it!❤️‍🔥 My colleagues, artists 🎨 Rita Clare and Alexey Chizhik, are also worried that the use of AI for scientific illustration
