It's really frustrating growing up being psychologically tortured as a mutant with white hair and then having folks steal your face and hair after your success and retirement without any

I'm glad for the more respectful time of this video butit's hard to convey the depths of Black America's distrust without recognizing three things.https://twitter.com/ajplus/status/1340529866106679298 1- The rains is not histori

But I will note that mutations happen all the time. The more infections, the more opportunities to explore the the space of possible mutations. Basically you wouldn't have expected this

1. Structural biology has been a standout in the pandemic, mapping the virus, antibodies and vaccines atom by atom. So I had a conversation with one of its leaders, Andrew
