The oldest fossilised sperm has been found inside a female #crustacean preserved in amber. #Ostracods micro-crustaceans, as #fruit #flies, have giant sperm but this #megasperm dates back to at least 100 million years ago 🤯🤯 ⬇️⬇️⬇️ bit.ly/2G1hvyC @flyprofhelen

Dementia is not an inevitable part of ageing, it is caused by diseases, most commonly Alzheimer’s. So, this #WorldAlzheimersDay is about hope. Hope that research will find a breakthrough. Please watch and #ShareTheOrange - alzheimersresearchuk.org/orange

This #WorldAlzheimersDay, we're encouraging everyone to start a conversation about dementia. Talking about dementia helps reduce the stigma & fear that surround the condition, and connects you with other people affected. Visit alzheimers.org.uk/wad to get started today.

Did you know that #ThomasEdison electrocuted several zoo animals, including #Topsy the #elephant, just to prove that Nikola Tesla’s #alternating current was more dangerous than his own #direct current? He even recorded all of it to show the rest of the world...

Lastly, while this is a good example of how primary infection can prevent disease from subsequent infection, more studies are needed to understand the range of outcomes from reinfection. (end)

📍BREAKING—First ever official re-infection case of #COVID19 documented. Research team from @hkumed report the first reinfection in press release. Patient reinfected by a completely separate strain of #SARSCoV2 from original, as proven by 🦠🧬sequencing. Details & implications🧵

#JustIn: #HKU's microbiology team issued a press release suggesting the 33-year-old IT patient, who came back from #Spain, is the world’s first #Covid19 reinfected patient. #Covid19 #coronavirus

A first case of #COVID19 reinfection from HKU, with distinct virus genome sequences in 1st and 2nd infection (142 days apart). Kudos to the scientists for this study. This is no cause for alarm - this is a textbook example of how immunity should work. (1/n)

Reinfection occurs if the virus changes or with high viral dose exposure. Here they found the strain of SARS CoV-2 was different. But as expected the immune system worked and the patient was asymptomatic. @DrSidMukherjee @Rfonsi1 - your thoughts...

My thoughts on Hong Kong reinfection report. The key question is not whether COVID reinfection occurs. It is whether reinfection will be severe. I have said before that severe reinfection will be very rare, and reinfections won’t cause a repeat of the pandemic. NO need to panic
