Russian scientist who developed Covid-19 vaccine strangled to death in his apartment: report

Andrey Botikov was one of 18 scientists who developed the Sputnik V vaccine in 2020, according to reports.

Andrey Botikov, one of the scientists who helped to create the Russian COVID-19 vaccine Sputnik V, was strangled to death with a belt at his apartment here and police have arrested a suspect in connection with the murder, according to a Russian media report on Saturday.
Botikov, 47, who worked as a senior researcher at the Gamaleya National Research Center for Ecology and Mathematics, was found dead in his apartment on Thursday, Russian News Agency TASS quoted the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation as saying.
Russian President Vladimir Putin honoured the virologist with the Order of Merit for the Fatherland award for his work on the COVID vaccine in 2021. Botikov was one of 18 scientists who developed the Sputnik V vaccine in 2020, according to reports.
His death is being investigated as a murder, the committee, which is the investigating authority in Russia, said in a Telegram statement.
According to investigators, a 29-year-old young man strangled Botikov with a belt during an argument and fled. Law enforcement agencies said the murder was a domestic crime and the result of a conflict, the report said.
The suspect was arrested shortly after Botikov&rsquo;s body was found, the federal investigative agency said in the statement.
&ldquo;The location of the attacker was established in short order. During the interrogation, he pled guilty and was charged. The defendant has a previous criminal record, as he stood trial on charges of committing a serious crime. In the near future, the investigation plans to petition the court to place the defendant in custody pending trial,&rdquo; the Investigative Committee said.

Scientists develop eco-friendly plastic film that can kill the SARS-CoV-2 virus

The film is coated with a thin layer of particles that absorb ultraviolet (UV) light and produce reactive oxygen species -- ROS.

Scientists in the UK have developed a plastic film that can kill the SARS-CoV-2 virus particles which land on its surface with just room light.
The self-sterilising film developed by a team at Queen's University Belfast, UK, is less costly to produce, can be readily scaled and used for disposable aprons, tablecloths, and curtains in hospitals.
The film is coated with a thin layer of particles that absorb ultraviolet (UV) light and produce reactive oxygen species -- ROS.
These kill viruses, including SARS-CoV-2, the researchers said. The technology used to create the film also ensures it is degradable -- unlike the current disposable plastic films -- making it environment-friendly, the researchers said.
The research, published in the Journal of Photochemistry and Photobiology B: Biology, could lead to a significant reduction in the transmission of viruses in healthcare environments but also in other settings that uses plastic films.
The researchers tested the film for anti-viral activity using four different viruses -- two strains of influenza A virus, a highly-stable picornavirus called EMCV and SARS-CoV-2.
They exposed the film to either UVA radiation or with light from a cool white light fluorescent lamp. The researchers found that the film is effective at killing all of the viruses - even in a room lit with just white fluorescent tubes. SARS-CoV-2 was particularly prone to photocatalytic inactivation even under very low UV irradiation conditions, they said.
"This film could replace many of the disposable plastic films used in the healthcare industry as it has the added value of being self-sterilising at no real extra cost," said Professor Andrew Mills from Queen's University Belfast.
"Through rigorous testing we have found that it is effective at killing viruses with just room light &ndash; this is the first time that anything like this has been developed and we hope that it will be a huge benefit to society,&rdquo; Mills said. The researchers noted that pathogenic viruses like SARS-CoV-2 and influenza will continue to be global problem for years to come.
"In developing self-sterilising thin plastic films, we have created a low-cost technology that could have a significant impact on the transmission of such concerning viruses in a healthcare environment and other sectors where they are used," Professor Andrew Mills added.

Jelly fish as a life saviour, a wish fulfillment for all those who wish to see the rising sun everyday and stay immortal. It is possible. At least, what the Spanish scientists have been trying to experiment with and make possible. 
Spanish researchers, in the jelly fish, have deciphered the genome of the immortal jellyfish which contributes to extending its longevity to the point of avoiding its death.
Spain's University of Oviedo has mapped the sequence of the unique jellyfish hoping that it would help them in deciphering the reason of her long life and finding clues to human ageing. 
In a published study, scientists sequenced Turritopsis dohrnii  with her sister Turritopsis rubra to identify genes that are amplified or have different variant characteristics between the two. They observed that Dohrnii has variations in its genome that makes it better at copying and repairing DNA.
One Carlos Lopez-Otin, a professor at th Asturian University said the observation is only a way to understand the limits of cellular plasticity that allows some organisms to be reverse age. It does not aim to achieve the dream of immortality, as some claim. Through this study, we aim to find answers to numerous ageing related diseases that bother human beings today, he added 

A Jellyfish for immortality is all we need. Do we?

A Jellyfish for immortality is all we need. Do we? 

Spanish researchers have deciphered the genome of the immortal jellyfish which contributes to extending its longevity to the point of avoiding its death.

Can humans attain immortality? Is it possible to have a solution to ageing woes?&nbsp; Perhaps it is.&nbsp; At least, what the Spanish scientists have been trying to experiment with.&nbsp;

A survey by Nature magazine found that 22 per cent of experts have received threats of physical and sexual violence as a result of publicly talking about Covid-19.

‘Eat a bat & die’: scientists face abuse and threats for discussing Covid-19 

A survey of 321 scientists by Nature magazine found that 22 per cent of experts have received threats of physical and sexual violence as a result of publicly talking about Covid-19.  

The pandemic created&nbsp;celebrities out of scientists and health experts
Prominence has come at a price for many scientists in the public eye
22% say they've&nbsp;received threats of physical &amp; sexual violence
15% received death threats for discussing Covid-19 publicly
Massive&nbsp;abuse directed at scientists&nbsp;for&nbsp;contributing to pandemic response
Coping strategies: ignore comments, filter e-mails &amp; block trolls
Abuse on a specific platform? Temporarily disable the account

From speaking on news channels to large social media followings, the pandemic prominence has come at a price for scientists in the public eye.

Leading the guidance and research about the novel coronavirus, the pandemic created celebrities out of scientists and health experts.&nbsp;&nbsp;
From speaking on news channels to active updates on social media, this newfound prominence has come at a price for many scientists in the public eye.&nbsp;A survey of 321 scientists by Nature magazine found that 22 per cent of experts have received threats of physical and sexual violence as&nbsp;a result of publicly talking about Covid-19.

Nearly 15% said they have received death threats&nbsp;and a whopping two-thirds revealed&nbsp;they had had a negative experience after appearing in the media.&nbsp;From threats like &lsquo;I hope you die&rsquo; or &lsquo;I would shoot you&rsquo; to racist remarks like &lsquo;go back to where you came&nbsp;from&rsquo; and &lsquo;eat a bat and die,&rsquo; a&nbsp;massive&nbsp;amount of abuse&nbsp;is directed at scientists&nbsp;for&nbsp;contributing to the pandemic response.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Some of these attacks have&nbsp;also&nbsp;made headlines, including&nbsp;Indian doctors who have been spat at and chased away from their homes as well as&nbsp;UK&rsquo;s chief medical advisor who was assaulted in a park.&nbsp;&nbsp;
For researchers who receive online abuse, Nature suggests individual coping strategies like trying to ignore&nbsp;the comments; filtering&nbsp;e-mails&nbsp;and blocking&nbsp;online&nbsp;trolls; or, for abuse on a specific social media platform, deleting or&nbsp;temporarily&nbsp;deactivating accounts might help.

Scientists from the&nbsp;Hubrecht Institute in Utrecht in Netherlands, have grown miniature tear glands that are capable of crying in the lab!
These artificial tear glands can help scientists study why these glands produce tears or fail to do so.&nbsp;With time, these organoids&nbsp;could also be used as transplants for those whose tear glands don't function properly.
For this experiment, researchers used 'organoid technology to grow miniature versions of mouse and human tear glands in a dish'. They were then able to make these glands cry.&nbsp;

A scientist in Hong Kong has created a new method, based on artificial intelligence and machine learning, that could scan retinas of children to detect signs of early autism or the risk of the disease.
This kind of retinal eye scanning, could help in early detection and improve outcomes of treatment.&nbsp;The method developed by him uses&nbsp;a high resolution camera with a new software to analyse the eye's fibre layers and blood vessels.
In a trial, 70 children were tested for autism and the technology could diagnose the illness in 95.7% cases. Benny&nbsp;Zee hopes to create a commercial product sometime this year, says a Reuters report.

Scientists from the&nbsp;Centre for Astrophysics at Harvard and Smithsonian have discovered a 'restless' massive black hole in motion in a galaxy named&nbsp;J0437+2456.
They say what they have discovered is 'the clearest case till date of a super-massive black hole in motion'.&nbsp;The black hole has been found to be wandering at a velocity of around 4,810 kilometres per second.
Usually, super massive&nbsp;black holes stay put where they are as they suck everything that comes in their way.&nbsp;Over the last 5 years, scientists studied 10 distant galaxies and their black holes, out of which just one was found to be in motion.&nbsp;
