Saint Augustine of Hippo (354–430 CE), a prominent theologian, philosopher, and bishop in Roman North Africa, profoundly influenced Western Christianity and philosophy. Known for works like Confessions, The City of God, and On Christian Doctrine, he developed doctrines on original sin, grace, just war, and ecclesiology. His thoughts shaped medieval theology, inspired Protestant Reformers, and continue to impact Christian teachings.

🧠💉 Can vaccines protect the mind? New research suggests that AS01-adjuvanted vaccines like Shingrix and Arexvy may reduce the risk of dementia—possibly by stimulating immune pathways like IFN-γ and TLR4, not just by preventing infection.   📊 In a large US-based EHR study, those who received the RSV or shingles vaccine had a significantly lower 18-month dementia risk than flu-vaccinated peers.   🔬 The common thread? The AS01 adjuvant.   🛡️ Could this be a new frontier in neuroprotection? Let’s discuss. #Vaccines #Dementia #RSV #AS01 #Neuroimmunology...

Zeno of Citium (c. 334 – c. 262 BC) was a Hellenistic philosopher from Cyprus and the founder of Stoicism.

His philosophy emphasized living in harmony with nature and practicing virtue to attain peace of mind (ataraxia).

Zeno’s teachings influenced ethics, logic, and natural philosophy, laying the foundation for Stoicism’s prominence during the Roman era and beyond.

Despite losing his original writings, Zeno’s ideas survived through the works of later Stoics like Cleanthes and Chrysippus.
