Just read a story about research into a mRNA vaccine against malaria (I have a malaria researcher friend so will check if it's legit). But I wonder if one positive side effect of covid will be more research/investment in vaccines and new possibilities using the mRNA technology?

It seems like a malaria vaccine could be a huge deal for some parts of the world.

Malaria is a single called organism, not a virus. Wonder how a mRNA vaccine would work?

[Grey Fox]

In theory, mRNA vaccines can be used to teach your immune system a lot of things. Fighting a precise cells is one. Apparently, it could also be used tonight cancers.

I've just learned that Barclays Bank is starting to allow all of it's customers to use a custom image on their card when it renews.
Seems pretty cool.
I look forward to a summary of some of the most humorous designs that incorporate the information on the card.

Here in Iceland we've now had unprecedented and continous earthquake activity with hundreds of 3's and dozens and dozens of 4's here in the Reykjanes peninsula for about a week now. Satellite measurements show the landscape being pushed up in a particular area by a lava stream coming up from below. Should see in the next days whether it'll die down or erupt. Thankfully the area is remote. Historical lava flows in the 13th century weren't big but the area had decades of volcanic activity before going silent for 800 years. Still, it'll be a hell of a view for incoming travelers landing in Iceland if it does go off.

Ugh.  Mental illness can have it's downsides.  I mean, sure, the pay is great and the universal respect is nice, but having intrusive thoughts in the middle of the night can be annoying.

Raz, those are just other people's posts on Languish.

I'm sorry.

I wanna visit Iceland. It was on my list.

A lot of the volcanoes at the minute appear to be acting out. I saw a thing on the BBC website of Etna going wild.

I hope something's not up (What if we just misread the Mayan calendar? )

When either the Siberian Traps or the Deccan Traps fire up again I will get worried.
