5 MLK speeches you should know besides the 1963 speech from the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom. Just as important and impactful. https://t.co/ea4vLcLR5g #MLKDay

Mashup Score: 3Life as we know it descended from a single cell. What do we know about LUCA? : Short Wave - 4 day(s) ago
Imagine the tree of life. The tip of every branch represents one species, and if you follow any two branches back through time, you’ll hit an intersection. If you keep going back in time, you’ll eventually find the common ancestor for all of life. That ancestor is called LUCA, the last universal common ancestor, and there is no fossil record to tell us what it looked like. Luckily, we have Jonathan Lambert. He’s a science correspondent for NPR and today he’s talking all things LUCA: What we think this single-celled organism may have looked like, when it lived and why a recent study suggests it could be older and more complex than scientists thought. Have other questions about ancient biology?

The COVID-19 mRNA vaccine generates enough of an antibody response to protect against severe disease for six months. But other vaccines offer years-long — even lifelong — immunity, such as the measles or yellow fever vaccines. Is there a way for scientists to tell how long a person’s immunity will last? A team at Stanford Medicine might have found a way to do just that — with the help of some of the cells found in our bone marrow. Questions about vaccines or the respiratory season?

Sick with flu? Scientists want to increase vaccine longevity. AAI member, Bali Pulendran, speaks to @NPRShortWave @NPR about his research @StanfordMed that answers why some vaccines can only stimulate immunity for a few months, but others last a lifetime. https://t.co/xLrmdvjQrU
