Mucosal ("sterilizing") Covid vaccine trials are kicking into high gear.
Tens of thousands of next generation trial volunteers will be needed in the US soon. And we've got the first details for a Project NextGen "mini-efficacy" trial...
The first step for human challenge trials of intranasal etc vaxes is underway in the UK...
All this & more in my latest nextgen vax update @npub1cgw…rh79 ...1/2

This is Shyamala Gopalan Harris, Kamala Harris' scientist mother. 🥥
When her daughters spoke glowingly of her influence on them at the DNC, I was one of the 300,000 people who flocked to her Wikipedia page to find out more.
It left me curious about her life as a scientist & sent me down a rabbit hole. My new @npub1cgw…rh79 post is what I learned:

Cheering Women On
It's been wonderful to have so many women to cheer on lately, with sunshine and exuberance pouring out from the Kamala Harris campaign and the Olympics. All that accomplishment could even rise above the head-spinning levels of racism, misogyny, sexism, and transphobia it triggered. Most of the backlash is what you would expect, but something about transphobia used to perplex me.

Checking in on the pandemic's impact on women in science....with real relief at what I found!
Science's diversity problem could have gotten a whole lot worse. It was a heavy, heavy lift : We should applaud people's progress accordingly!
