Sean Eddy developed profile HMMs in the 1990s, ultimately leading to his HMMER project, which includes JackHMMER that AlphaFold relies on. Apparently his work has been determined to be "of absolutely no value to the US taxpayer". Obviously that's not true.

Jane Goodall had a remarkable ability to inspire us to connect with the natural wonders of our world, and her groundbreaking work on primates and the importance of conservation opened doors for generations of women in science. Michelle and I are thinking of all those who loved and admired her.

Stated at ACIP: MMRV isn’t acceptable for kids <4 to prevent measles, mumps, rubella & varicella.
❌ False. MMRV/MMR vaccines are safe & highly effective. Studies show only a very small increase in febrile seizure risk after the 1st dose.
