Top Trump official barred from federal employment for 4 years for Hatch Act violation – Yahoo News

The Daily Beast Matt Gaetz Said His ‘Travel Records’ Would Exonerate Him. Not So Fast. Caroline BrehmanWhen it first came out last week that Rep. Matt Gaetz was under investigation for his sexual involvement with a 17-year-old, the Florida Republican said his travel records would exonerate him.“It is a horrible allegation, and it is a lie,” Gaetz told Tucker Carlson on Fox News a week ago. “The New York Times is running a story that I have traveled with a 17-year-old woman, and that is verifiably false. People can look at my travel records and see that that is not the case.”What Gaetz knew—or should have known—is that there are no such public records, at least not when it comes to his private life.There are, however, campaign filings. Among all the Matt Gaetz revelations last week was the...

Single shot of this groundbreaking drug reversed patients blindness | TheHill – The Hill

An international clinical trial conducted through the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania helped a patient suffering from childhood blindness gain vision after a single injection of the experimental RNA therapy into the patient’s eye. The potentially groundbreaking research was published in a paper in Nature Medicine on April 1. During the trial, patients received intraocular injections, shots into the eye, of an antisense oligonucleotide known as sepofarsen, a small RNA molecule that targets the eye’s cone cells — which are responsible for color vision — to increase CEP290 protein levels and improving retinal functioning during the day.

Ray Fisher Opens Up About Justice League, Joss Whedon and Warners: “I Dont Believe Some of These People Are – Hollywood Reporter

Over the past year, the actor has assailed the filmmaker and studio in harsh-but-cryptic tweets for what he says was racist and inappropriate conduct: "I'm not so indebted to Hollywood that I haven't been willing to put myself out there." Ray Fisher is ready to talk. Ever since June 2020, when he fired off a tweet accusing Joss Whedon of "gross, abusive, unprofessional, and completely unacceptable" conduct on the set of Justice League, the 33-year-old actor has used social media and a series of interviews to lob serious allegations of racist behavior and a cover-up at Warner Bros. For Fisher, who plays Cyborg in the film, the issue is no longer so much what happened on the set in 2017, after director Zack Snyder was replaced by Joss Whedon, though he's ready to explain that, too....

Technology used in development of Pfizer, Moderna COVID-19 vaccines could prevent fatal heart attacks – WJXT News4JAX

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – The same technology used to help Pfizer and Moderna develop their COVID-19 vaccines could prevent fatal heart attacks, according to doctors at the Jacksonville Center for Clinical Research. The Pfizer and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines use bioengineered ribonucleic acid to trick people’s bodies into fighting off the virus. Researchers at the Jacksonville Center for Clinical Research say they have now learned to use that same technology to prevent the production of a protein linked to fatal heart attacks. Lipoprotein(a), also known as Lp(a), is referred to by doctors as the evil twin of low-density lipoproteins (LDL), commonly known as bad cholesterol. Lp(a) has an extra protein coil that burrows into the wall of arteries, causing blood clots and inflammation. This raises ...
