The main reminder that COVID wasn't too long back: all the used face masks in every winter jacket I take out to wear for the start of winter now.

Engineered Serendipity
I believe that some of what we call "luck" is actually the macro result of 1,000s of micro actions.
Your daily habits can put you in a position where "luck" is more likely to strike.
Increase your serendipity surface area.
Engineer your own serendipity.

'If having multiple driver mutations does not make a cancer, what does?' We discuss the role of tissue-specific combination of mutations, permissive environmental conditions and putative homeostatic roles of cancer driver mutations in our recent review.

Out in @Nature today is a fantastic quartet of papers reporting somatic mutation landscapes in normal human tissues and phylogenies of their embryonic origins, accompanied by a wonderful @NatureNV from @naxerova

It is always amazing to have discussions with Prof. Eli Pikarsky and Prof. Yinon Ben-Neriah. One of our long talks lead to this review on how cancer driver mutations play beneficial homeostatic roles while confronting stress and aging tissue repair.

When people start attacking you as a person with petty insults, instead of engaging with your research & arguments, then you know you’re doing something right.

.."the results suggest that the monoclonal antibodies in clinical use should be tested against newly arising variants, and that mRNA vaccines may need to be updated periodically to avoid potential loss of clinical efficacy"

Our new preprint with @NussenzweigL @theodora_nyc and @bjorkmanlab
K417N, E484K and N501Y in SARS-CoV-2 “variants of concern” in UK, SA and Brazil are antibody escape mutations.

You can’t be pawsitive without paws.
Also hard to be a proton without pawsitivity (a subatomic pawticle within the nucleus of an atom)
The “paw”uns are strong this morning.
You can’t have an awwww without a paaaaw.
Ok. I’ll stop.

This amazing little tool simply draws all streets in any city you want. As examples here are the town I grew up in (20k residents) and the city I live in (5M residents). Have a play with it. The exported screenshots make great desktop backgrounds. Source: buff.ly/2uht4vJ
