@LSHTM All this talk of a first malaria vaccine … first approved, maybe.

I can’t be the only person who remembers early trials by a Venezuelan whose name, alas, I cannot remember. There was protection, but not enough. Does anyone else remember what I’m talking about?

Wonderful in so many ways, from the natural to the highly technical.

@FallingTreeProd I’ve only heard one episode so far, but Scene on Radio’s new series on the environmental crises with @amywestervelt is riveting, easily equaling the quality of previous series.

First (and possibly last) visit to the lake this year and it was as wonderful as ever. pesos

Looking back through some posts On This Day, I came across one about a book and CD called Jane Austen Sings the Blues. The book is still around, but I can find no trace of a recording of the accompanying interview. Maybe @GrantStovel at @ckuaradio knows where I can find one
