Can’t believe this is the same team that drew nil all with Italy

Aquarium rewards dolphins with fish if they bring a piece of litter or a dead gull to help keep the pool clean.

One dolphin starts tearing up litter into smaller pieces and trading each in for a reward, then uses fish rewards as bait to lure and kill gulls for larger rewards

Time to end this thing

Disney Gallery The Mandalorian has started for the second season - the first episode was 64 minutes long. and primarily about each of the directors of each episode. Currently no more episodes scheduled, but I hope they expand it to 8 like the first series.

One dose 60% effective. Two up to 90%.

Getting scientific here, but the reason that they accidentally gave half doses in the AstraZeneca trial has just been released. The Italian manufacturers used a method called qPCR to confirm the strength (potency) of the drug supplied, which is the correct way to do that. Oxford when they received it, did their own tests using a different method (NANODROP), determined that the drug was twice the potency that it was, trusted their own results and watered it down accordingly.

Pretty bad process to assume the test you did is right (especially when NANODROP is typically used just for spot checks, not full quality control), and then not to bother checking with the manufacturers at all, or testing via qPCR (which is not very time consuming), then just going ahead and trusting your own results in isolation.

Through such fuckups are scientific breakthroughs made...
