I have gone super deep in the Darth Jar Jar rabbit hole before and I am convinced this was likely the original intent of the character. I believe he was written to be a character similar to The Mule from the Foundation series.

Excellent post. If there is an equivalent of /r/bestof this would be worthy. It is super telling that rather than stick around and deal with the ramifications of the referendum, Cameron immediately resigned. Another point of context is that Cameron had gambled his political life previously on a different referendum (Scottish Independence) and that one worked out fine, so what is the harm in trying that gambit one more time?

This is interesting and I wish that he went into some more detail on how they spray dry without destroying protein activity. I actually have some first-hand experience trying to develop a spray drying method for antibody solutions for immunotherapy products. Ultimately, I left that company, but the real big problem was that most antibodies can’t survive the temperature needed for spray drying. For this reason, usually freeze drying is used instead (there are even techniques for spray freeze drying). They claim that the process inactivates viral capsids, but preserves antibody activity and having worked with both in the past, that seems like a bold claim.

Lemmy note: I had originally made this comment from my account on Beehaw, but it doesn’t seem to have federated over. So, if you see this twice, my apologies.
