Reading the article about the HIV research breakthrough. Reading the comment from the Oxford HIV guy at the end ungraciously saying “it’s not that big”.

Oh boy the things I could say about Oxford’s HIV research. RIP my husband who got half an hour of chat he’s heard before.

#look the thing you have to remember about sexy big research topics #is that while there are many good people who are there to make a better place #there are also people there for other reasons #or who started in the first group and moved to other reasons #or who are there for many reasons #and what I’m getting at is that an HIV vaccine or cure likely comes with a big prize awarded in Stockholm #there are some people who would sell their grandmas for it #they would certainly engage in obstruction of research projects to a point that involves unethical behaviour towards study participants #collaboration is a fucking dream #also malaria vaccine research I am looking so hard at you too #that was a fun nest of vipers I had my hand in for a hot second
