S. pneumoniae, the most common bacterial cause of pneumonia, is a deadly “shapeshifter.” Now, thanks to a collaborative genomic mapping survey led by @sangerinstitute, we can better understand this disease and develop vital vaccines to stop🛑 it. bit.ly/2KNhRJr

74年前の未明、#東京大空襲 で10万人もの犠牲者が出ました。祖父と母の妹も。祖母と母が何とか逃げ延び、戦後を必死に生きたお蔭で今があります。
大戦を何故防げなかったのか、何故ここまで各地で甚大な被害が出るまで続けたのか、戦争を知らない世代も、考えることが大切なのだと思います。
【 #東京大空襲 】1945年3月10日夜、300機を越える #B29 が38万発の焼夷(い)弾を東京の下町に投下し、一晩で約10万人が亡くなりました。 #空襲 はその後、大都市だけでなく地方都市にも及びました。『戦争証言アーカイブス』では、各地の空襲体験談を特集しています。
