Looking for a new professional challenge that connects my work with nature, outdoor, camping, travel and the environment 🌿 I’m happiest outside. In the woods, camping, exploring new places. Most of my work, on the other hand, happens behind a screen. Instead of choosing between the two, I’d like to bring them closer together. Alongside my own business, I’m looking for a long-term role where I can bring my experience with websites, online shops, e-commerce, content and SEO into a company I genuinely enjoy being part of. A perfect fit would be a company somewhere around outdoor, camping, travel, nature or the environment. And yes, apparently every LinkedIn post also needs a suitably meaningful photo of yourself. So I’m playing along this time. Seems to work somehow 😄 What matters most to me isn’t the exact job title. I’m looking for a role where I can take real ownership of...

Nature Reviews Immunology, Published online: 28 September 2026; doi:10.1038/s41577-026-01361-8Immune-based therapies have transformed the treatment of cancer and inflammatory and autoimmune diseases, but treatment is often suboptimal and the ability to predictably harness the immune system for new therapies remains limited. The pharmacology of immune-based drugs may be distinct from that of many traditional therapies. Here, I outline four principles of ‘immunopharmacology’ that provide a framework for understanding how the immune system responds to therapeutic perturbation. These principles may help to better define how immune-based therapies work and identify new opportunities for drugging the immune system.

Nature-based mental health treatments for stress, anxiety and depression will be studied by a new Danish centre backed by DKK 100 million (€13.4 million) in funding over the next ten years. The centre, called Arboria, has been established by the Danish 15. Juni Fonden, which says its aim is to build stronger evidence around interventions that use natural environments as part of mental health support and determine which approaches can eventually be integrated into healthcare, municipal services and workplaces. According to the foundation's announcement, Arboria will collect research and practical experience, test different approaches and develop models that can be used by public authorities, health services and private organisations.

Following the success of messenger RNA (mRNA)-based vaccines to tackle the global COVID-19 pandemic, there is tremendous interest in their further optimisation. Self-amplifying RNA (saRNA) holds great promise for efficient vaccine design since its ability to replicate within cells enables robust and prolonged antigen expression in vivo, thereby allowing lower doses to confer protective immunity compared to non-replicative mRNAs1,2,3. SaRNAs are often derived from alphaviruses, a family which includes human pathogens such as chikungunya virus (CHIKV) and Venezuelan equine encephalitis (VEEV)2,4. The alphavirus genome is a ∼12 kilobases (kb) long RNA of positive (+) polarity and comprises two open reading frames (ORFs). The 5’ ORF encodes for a polyprotein, which after processing, results in four non-structural proteins (nsP1-4) that form the viral replication complex (vRC). The 3’ ORF is expressed from a subgenomic RNA (sgRNA) produced from an internal promoter located on the negative (-)-sense RNA replication intermediate. The sgRNA encodes for all the structural proteins, which together with newly synthesised genomes form new viral particles4. In saRNA, all the structural genes are replaced by a gene of interest (GOI) thereby eliminating its capacity to produce viral particles while maintaining its ability to self-amplify1,2. However, saRNAs induce a strong innate...

A Labour minister has sparked fury after describing the idea of Britain based on pubs, warm ale and black labradors as a "far-right fantasy that never really existed". Speaking at a fringe event at the Labour conference in Liverpool, Nature Minister Jenny Riddell-Carpenter warned attendees that the so-called "far-right" will try to weaponise rural Britain at the next election. ### The MP for Suffolk Coastal admitted she lies "awake at night" at what "nostalgic vision" of the countryside will be used in the supposed battle. She said: "This is one of the things I do stay awake at night about, and think about, and fear. ### TRENDING Stories Videos Your Say "One of them is that if we don't make the case for nature, for rural communities, and what we believe rural communities look like, I do believe that the next election is going to be fought on a battle line of nature and rural affairs. "And there'll be the far-right deciding and determining what that looks like. "It'll be a vision, a nostalgic vision of Britain, that never really existed. "It'll be that warm ale, a black Labrador by your feet in a pub that doesn't exist, and with symbolism of fox hunting all around them, it'll be a very far-right nostalgic vision of Britain that we don't want to have, [and] never really existed." ### ### ### The Nature Minister, acccording to the Mail, vowed to counter this idea of rural Britain by putting out Labour's own "progressive vision for the countryside". Her comments sparked fury from former No10 adviser James Price, who suggested her intervention shows how "the Labour Party really, really hates this country". He wrote on social media: "Everything you care about is far-right or racist or never existed, apparently. "Never ever forget that they hate you and they hate this country." ### THE LABOUR PARTY - READ THE LATEST: * Andy Burnham to signal END of state pension triple lock and warn Britons: 'We can't carry on!' * PM's EU reset dealt hammer blow as Britain faces bill worth billions with 'crown jewels at stake' * Over 80 Palestine Action protesters arrested outside Labour Conference as police release new figures ### ### The Labour minister's remarks also drew criticism from Conservative Party chairman Kevin Hollinrake. He told the Mail: "Labour think the countryside, the pub, the dog and the people who love them are far-right. "Labour is taxing the pub out of existence, as part of a sustained attack on the countryside, with almost two closing every day. That is a far more pressing cause of insomnia. "Conservatives will always stand up for rural Britain, for the pub, the farm, the countryside, and most importantly, the people who keep them going." Mr Hollinrake also called on the Prime Minister to make Ms Riddell-Carpenter issue an apology to those living in the British countryside. ### ### The row comes just days after a former Labour minister warned Andy Burnham to "be careful about picking fights with the countryside" after admitting the party's relationship with farmers had been torpedoed. Daniel Zeichner, who served in Sir Keir Starmer's Cabinet between July 2024 and September 2025, said the Treasury imposed the hated family farm tax on British farmers and growers without considering the knock-on impacts of doing so. The policy, devised by ex-Chancellor Rachel Reeves, came into force last April - and sees agricultural properties worth over £2.5million subject to a 20 per cent inheritance tax. But Mr Zeichner said his party was out of touch with rural communities when drafting the proposal, telling The Telegraph: “I think the problem is that there probably weren’t people close enough to the discussion who knew enough about rural areas and farming to know what the response would be. “They looked at it from a tax point of view, rather than understanding the politics.” ### **Our Standards: The GB News Editorial Charter**
