Sanctions, Recognition & Peace for Palestine

We call for an end to the occupation of Palestine and a just and sustainable peace in accordance with UN Security Council resolutions, including the removal of illegal settlements, the withdrawal of Israel from all Palestinian lands along with the dismantling of the separation wall. Implementing a two-state solution is the path to lasting peace, safety and security for both the peoples of Israel and Palestine.

Lots to learn about nasal Covid vax in my latest nextgen vax update @PLOS:

- 1st trial results for intranasal Covid DNA vax, with some signs it can reduce infection;

- Researchers in Japan developed over 200 monoclonal antibodies from nasally-vaxed mice to study immunity's molecular processes;

- UK authorization for nextgen mRNA vax being sought soon;

- US takes bizarre funding turn;

- 7th pancoronavirus vax going into clinical trial & more

Online information event ‘Resilient and independent life science research infrastructure’

Strengthening the resilience and independence of the life sciences research infrastructure in Europe is necessary regarding the risks posed by dependencies on US-based information services. ZB MED will therefore develop an alternative to PubMed.
