Behind Covid-19 vaccine development

May 18, 2021

When starting a vaccine program, scientists generally have anecdotal understanding of the disease they’re aiming to target. When Covid-19 surfaced over a year ago, there were so many unknowns about the fast-moving virus that scientists had to act quickly and rely on new methods and techniques just to even begin understanding the basics of the disease. Scientists at Janssen Research & Development, developers of the Johnson & Johnson-Janssen Covid-19 vaccine, leveraged real-world data and, working with MIT researchers, applied……

Ozone-depleting chemicals may spend less time in...

May 18, 2021

MIT scientists have found that ozone-depleting chlorofluorocarbons, or CFCs, stay in the atmosphere for a shorter amount of time than previously estimated. Their study suggests that CFCs, which were globally phased out in 2010, should be circulating at much lower concentrations than what has recently been measured. The new results, published today in Nature Communications, imply that new, illegal production of CFCs has likely occurred in recent years. Specifically, the analysis points to new emissions of CFC-11, CFC-12, and……

May 18, 2021

Officials in Montgomery County, Maryland, say 60% of the county’s residents have received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine, triggering a further easing of coronavirus restrictions. The second phase of reopening allows most businesses, including restaurants, theaters and religious facilities, to expand to 75% capacity and expands indoor gathering limits to 250 people. Going forward, there will be no capacity limits on outdoor gatherings. The easing of restrictions in Maryland’s most populous county comes after Maryland Gov….

The Collectors Who Hunt Down Radioactive Glassware

May 17, 2021

In January of 2021, a New Jersey teenager brought a piece of an antique Fiestaware plate to a high-school science class. The student had received a Geiger counter, an instrument used to measure radiation, for Christmas, and wanted to do an experiment. When the plate registered as radioactive, someone at the school panicked and called in a hazmat team. The entire school was evacuated, and those in the nuclear science field were aghast. But thousands of similarly radioactive plates……

'Evropska Unija' in Belgrade, Serbia

May 17, 2021

Although Serbia is not yet a member of European Union, its capital city of Belgrade can boast the weirdest statue dedicated to the EU. Sculptor Dragan Radenović made this statue of a goat in boots with Coca-Cola bottles instead of udders. As he says, it represents the European Union (Evropska Unija) as a goat, but with a weird background story—some people with sick sexual fantasies put goats in boots, so that they could be higher, and in this case……
