The race is on for a covid-19 test you can take at home
 
Peace of mind: If you have symptoms, you want to know if you have covid-19. But getting tested means going to a doctor or a drive-in clinic, and even then, a test can be hard to obtain. That’s why some companies are now trying to develop at-home genetic tests to spot the virus. One, Mammoth Biosciences, says it plans to have a disposable home test kit ready by year’s end.
How it will work: The kit will use gene-editing tool CRISPR, thanks to its ability to zero in on very specific genetic information and then trigger a visible signal, similar to the bars that appear on a home pregnancy test. CRISPR is also quick, requires little machinery, and works on raw samples like spit or snot.
But, but: It’s unclear how much home tests would really do to control the pandemic or limit new infections. People might not report results to the health authorities. They also might not get or follow medical advice about quarantining or alerting contacts. Read the full story

This image could be the first direct evidence of a planet being born
 
The news: Astronomers have made what are possibly the first ever observations of a planet in the process of being born. The newly released images are of a very young star system called AB Aurigae, about 520 light-years away. They show a massive disc of swirling gas and dust. The disc features a prominent twist that could indicate where a new planet is forming. Read more about it
—Neel V. Patel
Vaccines have protected monkeys against covid-19
Studies on macaques suggest that infection with the coronavirus grants some immunity to catching it again—and that vaccines also seem to offer some protection.
Becoming immune: First, researchers from Harvard University’s Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center infected nine monkeys with the coronavirus; they developed pneumonia, just as people do. Then, after five weeks, the researchers tried infecting them again, but this time the virus didn’t take hold. That means monkeys (and possibly people) are probably immune to the virus after they catch it, although how long immunity lasts remains an open question.
Creating immunity: The group then tried out four different DNA vaccines on monkeys. The vaccines gave the 35 monkeys some protection from the virus—the ones that got a shot had much lower levels of virus in their respiratory tracts. 
Growing evidence: Previously, two other vaccines, one from SinoVac in China and another developed by Oxford University, were also shown to protect monkeys. All told, it’s a strong signal a human vaccine could work

If you are wondering where the pages that contained the words "excerpt", "Introducing" or other words indicating I was quoting a book have all gone, I migrated all of them over to Posts and Posted them all on August 18 and August 19 2024. I did that so you could use the search widget that is built in to the blog on the upper right hand corner. You will be happy to know that there are more of them than just the batch that were migrated, there were also lots of posts that contained the same words that did not have to be migrated over, they were there all along. I am really enjoying doing introductions and excerpts because it really makes for powerful and fascinating reading when I do them. You get the feeling you are in a bookstore holding a book in your hand looking at the table of contents and deciding whether or not to buy the book.

Contributions Welcome

The following request applies to any of the christian ministries that are currently getting visitors from my blog:

I am currently blogging: https://webmaster220.blogspot.com
I would like to place a banner on the right side of my home page that promotes your ministry
If I do that and it helps your ministry grow and expand do you have a suggestion as to what type of commission or contribution could be paid to my ministry. The reason I am saying that is there are a lot of ministries out there that are buying advertising space online and yours could be one of them for all I know. I have been an affiliate marketer for years on my blog but no commissions have ever been earned even though I am doing everything required to be done to earn the commissions. My blog readers are just not interested in spending any money on any of the goods or services discussed in my banner ads and text links. To reply, use the contact form below this paragraph Thanks, Rick Livermore - Webmaster220
