@QuaveEthnobot 😢 My heartfelt condolences to you & your circle of loved ones! Any premature death is a tragedy. A preventable premature death is doubly tragic. And triply if victim of ruthless people creating & spreading disinformation, fear of vaccines instead of virus, & conspiracy theories.

👍👍 Congrats to Laura and her group! 🍾🥂 This NIR click beetle luciferase is an excellent addition to the small set of bioluminescence imaging reporter genes for deep tissue imaging where absorption becomes an obstacle for luciferases emitting in the green-yellow-orange range.
India was on a trajectory to have the worst COVID epidemic in the world. But with far less resources for combatting COVID than US or Europe, it has turned the tide — with a determined focus on masks. https://t.co/oPQN5BbVFL
"This is a moment for all of us to reflect on the toll the pandemic has taken, the progress we have made, the lessons we have learned and what we need to do in the year ahead to end this pandemic”, says @DrTedros in last @WHO#covid19 presser of the year.
"It's not just #COVID19 that is killing people,
it's underprivilege,
it's lack of access,
it's years of living with health conditions that haven't been properly managed because of the colour of your skin, or your ethnicity, or your social group"- @DrMikeRyan#HealthForAll
