Will Indemnity for Pfizer and Moderna Open Pandoras Box? – News18

India so far has not given any manufacturer of Covid-19 vaccine indemnity or legal protection against the costs of compensation in case of any severe adverse event post-immunisation, including death. But, as per sources, the government is open to granting indemnity to vaccine manufacturers such as Pfizer and Moderna along the lines of what has been allowed in other countries to the companies.

Researchers Successfully Trained People to Echolocate in Just 10 Weeks – Gizmodo

Millions of bats fly out of the Khao Chong Pran Cave at sunset for feeding on September 12, 2020 in Ratchaburi, Thailand.Photo: Lauren DeCicca (Getty Images) Scientists in the UK say the same sort of echolocation practiced by bats may also help people living with blindness better navigate the world. In a new study, they found that blind and sighted participants who took part in a 10-week training program were able to learn how to perform echolocation, and the blind participants largely reported that it seemed to improve their mobility and ability to live independently afterward. Echolocation—when an animal emits sound and then detects how that sound bounces back in order to perceive solid objects around them—is readily practiced by certain species of mammals, such as (most) bats and w...

Sophia Bush Slams One Tree Hill Set Culture: It Was Controlling And Manipulative – HuffPost

Sophia Bush is speaking out about her time on the “One Tree Hill” set, revealing that she and some of her other co-stars felt that they were being controlled and manipulated. The 38-year-old actor joined the “Chicks in the Office” podcast and touched on a variety of topics, including her time on the hit WB show that ran from 2003 to 2012. While recalling being in her early 20s and bringing to life the character Brooke Davis, Bush explained how green she was to both the industry and, well, life. “We felt like little kids and when we look back now, we realize how young we were and how naive we were,” said Bush, who divulged that she and her cast mates didn’t have the space on set at the time to ask questions about what was going on. Bush called the experience “madness,” “kind of sca...
