Joe Biden keeps saying that the vaccine is a "miracle of science". But there's no "miracle" to science, just many thousands of scientists showing up to work day in day out, taking little baby steps, failing again & again but keeping at it, bravely tackling the mysteries of nature

Very sad day for neuroscience in Australia. The Australian National University has announced its intention to shut down neuroscience at the same institution where John Eccles and his many collaborators did their ground-breaking work. #saveEccles
