Katalin Karikó + Drew Weissman, who identified a chemical tweak to messenger RNA that laid the foundation for vaccines against Covid-19 that have since been administered billions of times globally, were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine this morning.

@faustocoppi60 What’s your point about the pandemic please? Or is it merely an observation?

During this year's Tour de France, Vingegaard and Pogacar broke the climbing records on Tourmalet, Puy de Dome, Marie-Blanque, Grand Colombier, Saint Gervais, Loze and Platzerwasel. 🚀🚀 Their level in the mountains was something not seen in TDF since Marco Pantani, 1998. Overall, the climbing level of the peloton kept getting higher and higher exactly since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic and it doesn't stop. High chances that La Vuelta a Espana will be even crazier! #TDF2023

@ChemNorfolk Utter piffle

You can only be a good teacher if you are a parent is the most hurtful thing anyone has ever said to me. Think before you speak 🤬

@realBertBlocken @UCI_cycling @giroditalia I’m with you on this. People don’t seem to understand the damage this disease can, and does, cause. Same folk seem to think it’s safe to do intense exercise with flu! I wouldn’t advise anyone to exercise or compete whilst unwell - with many illnesses, not just COVID.

@jonathan_the_c @irishpeloton Absolutely - plus long COVID too

@irishpeloton Silly question. It’s a nasty little virus which can have serious medium and long-term consequences that we know about and probably more that we don’t know about yet. Cardiovascular risk is ⬆️ after covid, no matter how mild. Damages the endothelium.

To ask an obvious question (or a silly one?), why was he taking a routine test? Nobody else does anymore. We don’t even take them when we’re feeling sick these days. Surely he was feeling shite and that’s the only reason they tested him

@ExRoadman1 @nicholasroche @irishpeloton The long term health consequences of flu can be career ending - I’d never take risks.

@ChemNorfolk This is why the emphasis needs to be shifted towards teaching kids how to learn and away from expecting teachers to transfer knowledge into passive learners. As you point out, it doesn’t work - it’s not like a software upgrade.

@cycloxersaurus It’s madness. I can’t make people more able.

Convo with a A level parent today- Look she is on an E and we need to be relistic. Parent- so she can get a B yes? Me 🤬😡. Head of sixth form- if you could spend some time with her as she was upset and needs a B. Thanks. Sometimes this job is ridiculous.
