Longer Looks: Interesting Reads You Might Have Missed

Each week, 吃瓜不打烊 finds longer stories for you to enjoy. Today's selections are on vaccines, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, PTSD, and more.

Visitors to Jenner鈥檚 Hut could be forgiven for believing they鈥檇 stepped into a J.R.R. Tolkien novel. This tiny garden shed is tucked away on a quiet path winding through a rewilded English garden, decorated with folksy bark carvings and topped by thick thatch. It belonged to Edward Jenner, an 18th-century doctor who pioneered the world鈥檚 first vaccine 鈥 and transformed this hut into the world鈥檚 first vaccination clinic. (Sands, 11/12)

Diagnosed with A.L.S., they traded stories, drank tequila and made grim jokes at a unique annual gathering on Cape Cod. (Rabin, 11/11)

Daryl Sager,聽a U.S. Marine Corps and Air Force veteran, has had his service dog for five years and said it's been like "magic." (Mordowanac, 11/11)

A research team at Stanford University has harnessed the power of AI to design phages, raising questions about the future of biotechnology and its applications. (Johnson, 11/11)

Every four years at the Cybathlon, teams of researchers and technology 鈥減ilots鈥 compete to see whose brain-computer interface holds the most promise. (Whang, 11/12)

At age 106, Alice Darrow can clearly recall her days as a nurse during World War II. Darrow sat with patients, even after-hours. One of them had arrived at her hospital on California鈥檚 Mare Island with a bullet lodged in his heart. He was not expected to survive surgery, yet he would change her life. (Har, 11/11)
