When the data set is logarithmic, the population distribution of the data is also logarithmic. That’s biology in a nutshell, folks: multiplicative. We’re a living collection of power laws, and this shows up in aspects of biology and physiology too numerous to count here. 15/

Does anyone out there have any advice for UK biosciences students who would like to work in the USA after graduation? I have many great students who are keen to find technician/research assistant jobs in academia or industry. What's the visa situation like?
Just watch this video. Just watch.

Five quick tweets on the new variant B.1.1.529 Caveat first: data here is *very* preliminary, so everything could change. Nonetheless, better safe than sorry. 1) Based on the data we have, this variant is out-competing others *far* faster than Beta and even Delta did 🚩🚩
