Even if you can kill the HIV virus, you still wouldn't have a cure.
HIV is a retrovirus. It becomes part of the infected cell's genome. Any agent that kills the virus can suppress symptoms/disease but not cure people who are already infected.
P.S. Please take off your tin-foil hat. The glare is quite annoying.
As a biologist, I have no idea why they're making such a big deal of it being a $225,000 deconvolution microscope. It's cheap compared with what most institutions have. Besides which is the fact that the microscope used isn't interesting. Any high(ish) resolution fluorescent microscope would have given you the same data. The interesting part is this TRIM5a. Let's see what happens with recombinant TRIM5a in animal studies.
Life is kind of a crap game. The graphics are great but the gameplay sucks!
What kind of lawyer takes on a case like this?
Are they alive? Maybe he can sue them too!
Instead of indicting everyone under the sun, let's do something to fix it instead of tossing people in jail. Many people contributed a little, like Murder on the Orient Express. In the end, the ultimate responsibility rested on the Pilot-in-Command who paid the price for his mistakes. Let's learn from it instead.
1. Revise procedures so that the PNF (Pilot-Not-Flying) visually confirms the flap & slats indicator instead of just reading it to the PF (Pilot Flying)
2. Design future systems such that the take-off config warning isn't on the same circuit breaker as the Total-Air-Temp sensor. (I'm a recreational pilot, not an engineer, so I don't know if there's a valid reason for them to be on the same circuit.) Also, have an EICAS warning when the take-off-config alarm is disabled.
3. Have the engineers remind the pilots / placard the cockpit to remind them that the take-off-config alarm is disabled.
4. Flapless take-off attempts leading to accidents are not a new thing to airplanes. Further training seems to be required, especially as the small aircraft we all initially learn in will take off without flaps.
Do parents have the right to know which of their kids' teachers are the most and least effective? That's the controversy roaring in California this week with the publication of an investigative series by the Los Angeles Times's Jason Song and Jason Felch, who used seven years of math and English test data to publicly identify the best and the worst third- to fifth-grade teachers in the Los Angeles Unified School District. The newspaper's announcement of its plans to release data later this month on all 6,000 of the city's elementary-school teachers has prompted the local teachers' union to rally members to organize a boycott of the newspaper.
According to the linked Times article, United Teachers Los Angeles president A.J. Duffy said the database was "an irresponsible, offensive intrusion into your professional life that will do nothing to improve student learning."
Marriage is the triumph of imagination over intelligence. Second marriage is the triumph of hope over experience.
