Here’s a remarkable account of the remarkable work Kariko and Weissman performed to enable mRNA vaccine development - in spite of considerable obstacles. This definitely seems worthy of a Nobel Prize to me! wired.co.uk/article/mrna-c…

Another great work from the team in Cellzome and their associates extending TPP to cell surface proteins. nature.com/articles/s4159…

I've written about miniproteins in my first post for the Oxford Protein Informatics Group (OPIG) blog. Amazing how such small proteins can have such important roles – and miniproteins are a very exciting avenue for protein engineering with healthcare applications!

The world had survived Trump presidency, is going to survive COVID-19 and (future generations) will survive climate change.

I am against invasion of any country but to respond back by messing with life of citizens (cutting payment systems etc) set a bad precedence again (as with US invading some countries without blessing of UN security council). 1/2
