Excited to see this work online at pnas - our efforts towards a universal Ebola vaccine! pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn… We sugarcoat the Ebola glycoprotein and display on ferritin nanoparticles to stimulate cross-neutralizing antibody responses against three pathogenic Ebola species!

Brown university refused to drop the charges so the judge issued a not guilty filing for 41 anti-genocide student protestors who were accused of trespassing. “I think this is a reflection of what nonviolent and peaceful resistance, frankly, is supposed to look like,” he said.

both schools protested, but students at CUNY were charged with class D felonies (up to 7 yrs in prison) while students at Columbia were charged with class B misdemeanors (90 days in prison). ofc this is because cuny students are black/brown, low-income, first gen, undocumented...

Another medical milestone! The first patient treated with a prime edited therapeutic shows positive clinical outcomes consistent with effective rescue of his chronic granulomatous disease (CGD), a debilitating and life-shortening primary immunodeficiency. At least 19 base editing
