More about Phil Branton's many contributions: ccra-acrc.ca/dr-philip-bran…

Last week, Canada lost a powerhouse in cancer research. Dr Philip Branton was a highly accomplished cancer virologist, whose decades of work helped shape our understanding of viruses and tumour suppression and led to new treatments that continue to be used today. Dr Branton was…



An excerpt from the Abstract: "These functionally defined, multipotent CD34+ hematopoietic cells, designated iPS cell-derived HSCs (iHSCs), produced levels of engraftment similar to those achieved following umbilical cord blood transplantation".


#LongCovidMoonshot Can Bernie Sanders' LC Moonshot bill get bipartisan support?

Two things have been on my mind regarding Bernie Sanders’ #LongCovidMoonshot bill that’s just been introduced. 1. How long could this take to get passed? 2. Aside from calling our representatives, what can we do to help this get passed? @bhanlon15 @loscharlos @ahandvanish

My daughter (age 59) has #LongCovid. She can't cope with long reports about LC. So, I send her excerpts. E.g. I've selected quotes about treatments from Dr. Topol's edifying interview of Dr. Blitshteyn. They've been posted to Tribel and to COVID Long-Haulers Support Group Canada.

Interesting, Jim. I looked for my own entry. My own discipline is shown as "Physics". This once was correct. My highest ranking in a Specialty is in "cell physiology", at 104 (yawn). For "hematopoietic stem cell? 299 See: scholargps.com/scholars/75312… Not as intriguing as your entry.

Big news! Yet another utterly meaningless ranking/citation scheme has been pushed out and I'm #1 in, cough, glycogen synthase. So, go chew on that glycogen synthase wannabes.

Climate experts were increasingly saying that keeping heating below 1.5C is near impossible, yet it remains the global goal. So I asked hundreds of top IPCC scientists what they thought. What they said shocked even me… 🧵 1/n #ClimateCrisis



#ClimateChange The author Brad Hayes "is president of Petrel Robertson Consulting Ltd., a geoscience consulting firm addressing technical and strategic issues around oil and gas development ... and carbon sequestration".

Doctor of geology Brad Hayes’ article about understanding climate science discusses important concepts that are absent from almost all news media channels and many environmental science classrooms. #climatescience #science #scientists #education #alarmism big-media.ca/real-climate-s…
