3D printed vaccine patch pioneered at UNC could revolutionize how we distribute vaccinations – WTVD-TV

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (WTVD) -- New technology coming out of UNC Chapel Hill could change everything about how vaccines are administered. Scientists at UNC and Stanford created a 3-D printed vaccine patch that's as small as the tip of your finger. The vaccine patch uses microneedles just long enough to attach to the skin. From there, the vaccine directly targets immune cells in the skin. The brains behind the new vaccine patch said it creates an immune response 10 times stronger than a typical vaccine injection that sends its contents into muscle. The skin patch is also painless, can be self-administered and doesn't need to be kept in the freezer. All of those advantages, according to the patch creators, should mean the patches are more efficient and easier to distribute all around the world...

More hospitals forced to ration care amid delta surge | TheHill – The Hill

Coronavirus patients are flooding and straining hospitals across the U.S., particularly in western states where administrators are put in positions of needing to ration care as their facilities are pushed to their breaking point by the delta variant. Alaska this past week joined Idaho in adopting statewide crisis standards of care that provide guidance to health care providers making difficult decisions on how to allocate limited resources. Several hospitals in Montana have either activated crisis standards of care or are considering it as the state is pummeled by COVID-19. Under the guidelines, providers can prioritize treating patients based on their chances of recovery, impacting anyone seeking emergency care, not just those with COVID-19. “Ultimately it's a decision about, ...

Future Wife is an interactive play with everything: goats, aliens, and spreadsheets – The Verge

The pandemic has led to a collection of unusual digital experiences, from Google Forms escape rooms to whole virtual, two-dimensional comedy shows. But the interactive digital play / upstate barn wedding I attended last Friday, Future Wife: Party in a Spreadsheet, takes things to a strange new level. The show, co-created by playwright ruth tang and director Sarah Blush, and put on by a cast of game collaborators and theater company New Georges, manages to be playful, confounding, and surprisingly, a little touching. Basically all the things Google Sheets never are. It’s difficult to describe Party in a Spreadsheet in a way that makes sense. There are communist goats, alien activists, several themed islands, and an anonymous audience masquerading as a variety of exotic animals. There...

Brace yourselves, New Jersey: Another COVID winter is coming – NJ.com

This spring, as mask policies loosened, indoor dining became socially acceptable and most state-to-state travel bans had been lifted, the coronavirus finish line finally appeared to be in sight. The vaccines had arrived and surely would save us all from the disease, helping New Jersey reach herd immunity and effectively eradicate the virus. But late 2021 is now looming close on the horizon and public health experts are issuing a cold dose of reality: Sorry, folks, but another COVID winter is coming. With temperatures plummeting, people being forced indoors and schools now open for in-person instruction, the virus is expected to surge yet again this fall and winter, experts said. The spike is likely to be fueled by the combination of vaccine-resistant adults and unvaccinated children, t...

Air Fryer Maple Chicken Thighs

These air fryer maple chicken thighs are the BEST thighs you can make, with maple caramelized crispy skins and flavorful, juicy meat. Dig in and enjoy! One of the greatest things that came out of buying an air fryer was getting to enjoy ultra-crispy chicken wings and chicken thighs. When I say crispy, I mean CRISPY. Like hearing a distinctive crunch one room away while picking up the chicken with some kitchen tongs kind of crispy. Now I’ve made a few chicken thighs in the oven but the air fryer takes the oven-baked method, scoffs at it, and gives you next-level juicy chicken. I know these are easily the best chicken thighs I’ve ever made. Bite into the crispy, deliciously caramelized maple-glazed skin and feel it crunch in your mouth. The marinade permeates into the meat as we...
