Hi,
 
Lifespan.io published an interview with me this week:

We made some good progress with our suppliers and a bunch of new-company activities. Contracts signed. Partners engaged. Many meetings. Lots of good leads in various directions.
 
Thanks to those who participated in the recent survey. You will be relieved to know that the idea for a plushie as a crowdfunding reward is out!

Interesting article talking about how EBV has been linked to a number of autoimmune conditions: lupus, multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, juvenile arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, celiac disease, and type 1 diabetes -- in addition to the more well-known associations with mono and ME/CFS:

Today is World Rabies Day. Rabies is nearly 100% fatal if you don't get immediate treatment post-infection. The disease is caused by a virus, and is most commonly transmitted by dog bites. Strangely, the delay between the initial viral infection and the start of symptoms is usually one to three months, and can be as long as a year. Vaccination prevents rabies infections in dogs, and therefore in humans, too. However, as with most vaccines, it only helps pre-infection, not post-infection.
