New study of the Gough map shows what might be the lost islands of Welsh folklore: A pair of researchers, one with Swansea University, the other with Oxford University, has taken a new look at the Gough map and have found what might be the lost islands of ancient Welsh folklore. In their paper published in the journal Atlantic Geoscience, Simon Haslett and Davis Willis describe two small islands on the map that do not exist today.

# Covid / Pandemics / Biologicals
Here’s why researchers believe COVID shot mandates are fueling a backlash, undermining vaccine education: Forcing people to get shots they don’t want often exacerbates their skepticism. Even if a mandate works in the short term, boosting uptake of a particular vaccine, its efficacy wanes as people look for ways to reassert their autonomy, usually by refusing to get the next shot they’re told to get.

Drug turns cancer gene into ‘eat me’ flag for immune system: Tumor cells are notoriously good at evading the human immune system; they put up physical walls, wear disguises and handcuff the immune system with molecular tricks.
