My name is Jake. I live in DC. I used to work in foreign affairs, primarily Chinawatching, and then as an investigative researcher (think due diligence, political mudslinging, corporate accountability, etc.). Then, I got dysentery as part of a human challenge trial. I tweeted about it like a maniac, went viral, and now I’m here. Life is funny.

Unless it’s very obviously about 1Day Sooner stuff, assume what I post here is my own personal opinion.
Shoutout to the 130-ish people in the UK who volunteered to be infected with malaria in two separate studies at various stages of the R21 development process! Those studies helped identify Matrix-M as the ideal adjuvant, and also provided insight into the optimal dose/vaccination schedule.
