The small risk of a rare side effect didn t stop Breanna Valverde from getting a dose of the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine last week.
The Maple Plain resident had discussed the single-dose shot with her doctor before federal regulators temporarily halted use of the vaccine last month amid safety questions and concerns. But after those same regulators called for a restart, Valverde checked back with her physician, then took action after hearing the news that a Minnesota first-grader died of COVID-19. My reason for getting it is not really for myself, said Valverde, a 44-year-old mother of two. I don t want to be a part of unknowingly giving it to someone else.

Back in 2014, when researchers affiliated with Drexel University’s University Research Computing Facility (URCF) were deciding the name of its first high-performance computer cluster, they went with an ancient, mythological choice: Proteus, the shape-changing sea god from Greek mythology.
When naming its replacement computer cluster, the URCF went with something a little closer to home.
Picotte, which opened in February, is named in honor of Susan La Flesche Picotte (1865-1915), MD, who, according to current research, was the first Native American to become a physician in the U.S. Picotte graduated in 1889 from one of the Drexel University College of Medicine’s predecessor schools, Woman’s Medical College of Pennsylvania (WMCP), one of the world’s first medic
