TB vaccine takes a tumble
A leading candidate for a sorely needed new vaccine against tuberculosis (TB) has failed to protect children against the disease in a major clinical trial.
Published today in The Lancet, the results of the trial of the MVA85A vaccine show that it seems to have “no significant efficacy” against either TB or infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
The results are a major blow to the TB research community, as MVA85A had seemed highly promising as…

Looks like a pretty simple way of running backend stuff on a cloud in a normal Python environment. Did anyone played around with #PiCloud do you like it? As they seem to run stuff in parallel does anyone has any input about how many concurrent jobs it is running for you in the background (as in if I ask to run a function 100.000 times how many are running at the same time?). Just being #curious here :-)
