‘Oscar of science’ awarded to team behind gene therapy that restores lost vision
(www.theguardian.com)
Won’t load with adblockers. That’s a new one for me. I’ve never seen a site simply refuse to load like that.
Works for me
Interesting, it does for me now too. I tried it again to get a screenshot. Earlier it gave me an otherwise blank page with a message that said something to the effect of “Part of the site could not load. Turn off your ad blocker and refresh the page.”
'Oscar of Science', so? Candidates buy their consideration for the prize with bribes, and the winner is voted by a bunch of white men who haven't done anything in science in over a decade?
