Even the plans for the beehive- which do have some real downsides for locals- seem to have been put back despite the desperate need for lab space

The speed of building in Cambridge (outside of the area around the train station) is really a shock to me. Go down Newmarket Road and so many undeveloped spaces that are in some form of limbo, next door to flash offices and accommodation

My question is why are so many people in Cambridge BANANAs - Build Absolutely Nothing Anywhere Near Anyone - it's not NIMBY in this because the reservoir is miles away

Scotland has detected no cases of cervical cancer in women born between 1988-1996 who were fully vaccinated against HPV between the ages of 12 and 13.

In a large Scottish study, no cases of cervical cancer were found among women who received HPV vaccines before they turned 14.

They prevented severe disease and long term effects against the variants too. That’s the level of many mature vaccines

It really is a time of miracles and wonder in science and tech. A virus discovered at the end of 2019 had several highly effective vaccines available to the public by the end of 2020. Given the time required for trials I really can’t imagine where additional speed could come from

I’ll be giving this a go soon! Why do you frequently recommend the salt flakes though? Is it a surface area effect vs fine or something else?
