Daily briefing: How a boy from the Bronx unearthed the workings of the Universe
Briefly

The article underscores significant findings from scientific studies on SARS-CoV-2, revealing the crucial role of T cells in the immune response, while also indicating the complex nature of the virus's impact on long COVID. Meanwhile, CERN is shifting its financial model to encourage publishers to adopt open science practices, promoting transparency in particle physics research. Additionally, new research suggests that dinosaur evolution likely began in the stable climate of equatorial Gondwana, reflecting the intricate relationship between environment and evolutionary traits.
Particle physics is large, international, highly complex, highly dynamic. Openness is the only really effective way of practising science in the discipline, says Kamran Naim, head of open science at CERN.
The immune response against SARS-CoV-2 relied heavily on T cells, not just antibodies, highlighting the importance of a strong cellular immune response.
Researchers learned that a variety of factors, such as SARS-CoV-2 hiding dormant in the body, might contribute to long COVID.
Analyzing the evolutionary trees suggests that dinosaurs first evolved near the equator in Gondwana, affirming the importance of climate in their development.
