Though, I recently found out Motorola has license plate reading cameras and supposedly works with ICE. Which is gd gutting to hear.

Edit: From a reply below, this may be a different company? Looking into it now.

Edit: Looks like the cellphone company, Motorola Mobility LLC, is currently wholly owned by the, now Chinese company, Lenovo. So, certainly appears to be different organizations. Glass someone caught me on that.

A lymphoma driver called BCL6 suppresses the expression of cell death genes. A new molecule designed at Stanford Medicine blocks its activity and activates downstream genes to trigger cell death.

A two-headed molecule designed by Stanford Medicine researchers hijacks one of the most common protein drivers of B-cell lymphoma, flipping it from its role as a promoter of cell growth into an arbiter of cell death. In mice, a short course of twice-a-day treatment eliminated aggressive lymphoma tumors within 11 days.

The approach builds on a strategy the researchers have been refining for several years: Rather than trying to block a cancer-causing protein, they engineer a small molecule that physically links the culprit with another molecule that switches on the cell’s own self-destruct program. A similar approach may work for other types of cancers and autoimmune diseases, the researchers believe.

“We’re trying to essentially fight cancer with its cause — taking the driving force of the cancer and then rewiring it to activate cell death mechanisms,” said Gerald Crabtree, MD, the David Korn, MD, Professor in Pathology and a professor of developmental biology.

Crabtree shares senior authorship of the study, which was published online July 20 in Cell, with Nathanael Gray, PhD, the Krishnan-Shah Family Professor and a professor of chemical and systems biology; Stephen Hinshaw, PhD, assistant professor of molecular and cellular physiology; and Michael Green, PhD, director of translational and laboratory research, lymphoma/myeloma at the MD Anderson Cancer Center. Graduate student Meredith Nix and postdoctoral scholar Sai Gourisankar, PhD, are the lead authors of the research.

Any ideas on an potential increase in ambient temperature from those dark surfaces of the panels?

Offsetting or replacing climate warming electricity generation, especially through what seems to be an increased efficiency, is great, but we're still doing the climate warming methods.

And, not a statement of "don't do this", just concerned about regions of cold and frozen environments given our present course and interested in the data.

I heard some statements that the "AI" justification is just on paper. Maybe partly because it's an easy out, and/or to keep the stick bridge looking sustainable. But that it's in reality not directly tied to any specific takeover of these individuals' work being presently or immediately taken over, and likely not efficiently either, by software. I'm not too deep into the economy so please only regard this as speculation until you can verify.

Trying to understand this type of concept, as economics is not a super strong topic of mine, and I hear or see this type of phrasing sometimes; "creating wealth" "wealth creation".

How do you define how someone creates wealth?

This is relating to requesting additional clinical trials, but maybe I don't understand?

Could you elaborate?

Edit: looks like it's actually a request for approval for commercialization/use of the vaccine. Not sure what I was doing when I looked the first time.

And the article linked in the OP states:

"Pfizer said it will seek regulatory approval for a Lyme disease vaccine candidate despite failing a late-stage trial.

Pfizer said not enough people contracted Lyme disease to be confident in the results, but cited “strong efficacy” for its decision to move forward."

Which is sort of different wording of what the OP does still say, so, yeah, some doubt's about it. I can see some desire to have additional studies at least.

TLDR: poor education, poor medical industry/insurance system, poor economy, propaganda/misinformation, everyone has a mental limit; and unfortunately many Americans can't differentiate between anything they're having pushed at them/taking in.

Most of the U.S. population can't afford regular medical care. For some who can, interactions with doctors can at times feel almost hostile (rushed through 15 minutes of a doctor hastily reading from a computer screen, visibly upset if you ask any questions, spoken to like a child), generally physically limited, and an additional financial consideration (new births reporting bills for '$1,000+' for an anesthesiologist literally only leaning into the room the day after birth to ask "feeling alright?" and then leaving.

So, even outside of "anti-science" and/or "anti-vaccine" perspectives, hospitals and doctors are viewed to have a profit seeking motive, and patient interactions can sometimes be incredibly rude (see huge understaffing; partly for that profit seeking from most hospitals; and then just general 'being an asshole'; because working in medical care doesn't preclude someone from just being overall inconsiderate and cruel).

Therefore, some may only barely be able to afford being at the hospital for any reason, were possibly treated 'less than kindly' by hospital staff somewhere at least once, already have a generally poor U.S. education, living in near squalor like conditions, and are being bombarded from multiple avenues with misinformation regarding almost every aspect of reality. Then, they're still needing to justify; to themselves and significant portions of their own society; why they deserve food, shelter, housing and any other thing at all because of some idea pushed at everyone that you're inherently worthless and only those who "prove themselves 'enough'" are justifying in getting or having... anything.

People are animals, they'll shutdown and perpetuate into basic survival when overwhelmed enough. A significant amount of the U.S. population sees medical care as a luxury and a nearly illicit money hungry one at that. I fucking hate justifying this type of behavior, but it's a reality for the growth of many perspectives here. They are cattle and they've internally shutdown or don't have the time, physical resources, or education to differentiate between anything they're having pushed at them/taking in; and (idk what generalized quantity to use here; most, some? because god damn it feels like most) it's quite possibly rare for any random U.S. Citizen to read... at all, not even getting to the point of 'articles online'.

So, generally, no, people in the U.S. may not treat the statements of a doctor with high regard. I try to be empathetic... but it can be really difficult when they can be such fucking assholes.
