TAMPA, Fla. – Tom Brady had little to say Thursday in response to coach Bruce Arians’ critical assessment of the quarterback’s play during the six-time Super Bowl champion’s debut with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.Arians made headlines after the Bucs fell to New Orleans 34-23 in the season opener, initially attributing a pair of interceptions to mistakes by Brady, who signed with the team in free agency after 20 years with the New England Patriots.The coach later said receiver Mike Evans was at fault for one of the interceptions, but remained adamant that Brady made a “bad decision” on a sideline throw that Saints cornerback Janoris Jenkins returned for a touchdown.“He’s a coach. I’m a player,” Brady said Thursday.

New discovery adds to excitement for Rocket Lab’s mission to Venus

ORLANDO, Fla. – There is a new reason to be excited about a private robotic mission to Venus happening in just two years after a group of researchers found possible signs of microbial life on the very hot planet.This week an international group of astronomers, led by Professor Jane Greave with Cardiff University, published their findings of a rare molecule, phosphine, found in the clouds of Venus.

Manchester Evening News : "Because the genome of the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus is pretty stable it's unlikely to be able to evade our immune response. "This can be compared to the flu, hepatitis C and HIV which can change and escape immunity because their proteins are no longer recognised."The research gives hope to the idea of future immunity against the virus - but Prof Smith warns the scientific community is still on 'new ground', adding: "It's going to be a while before we can fully answer questions around immunity."For people who have been infected with the virus or vaccinated, we don't know if they are going to do better in the future if they are exposed to the virus again."We hope and expect so but can only find that out with time.
