MNT Sunday Supplement: What are human challenge studies? Plus, articles you may have missed this week.
MNT’s Sunday Supplement: What are human challenge studies? | Welcome to the first edition of our new weekly newsletter, MNT’s Sunday Supplement. Each Sunday, we’ll put one of our latest articles in the spotlight and share some stories you may have missed.
This week, we report on a new study that, far from helping people evade novel coronavirus infection, exposes them to it. We look closely at why the U.K. COVID Challenge is needed, along with the ethics and practicalities of exposing volunteers to live viruses. You can read the article here.
We’ve also picked six illuminating articles for you to pore over, including the latest vaccine updates, a profile of the first Black woman to achieve a Ph.D. in chemistry, and a look at whether probiotic supplements really do aid weight loss.
We’ll be back with our regular daily newsletter tomorrow. In the meantime, let us know what you think of today’s email here.
