'It's Happening': Daniel Johns Drops More Teases After Making Shock Appearance at Silverchair Tribute Show


Daniel Johns has been sharing cryptic messages in recent months, and fans are only asking more questions


The iconic Australian musician has been sharing cryptic messages in recent months, and fans are only asking more questions on the back of his latest social media post.

In clips shared to the Silverchair frontman's Instagram, captioned "It's happening", it was revealed that Johns made a surprise appearance at the soundcheck of local band The Lizards' show earlier this year at Little Bosa in Port Elliot, South Adelaide. The band were playing Silverchair's debut album Frogstomp in full to celebrate the record's 30th anniversary.

Per the video, Johns "just rocks up at soundcheck, played with The Lizards for a bit, did a jam, and it was just really odd", before returning later in the night for the gig. He is believed to have shown up quietly as the show started as "Dan didn't want to freak anyone out" and watched from the kitchen: "Then Dan just disappeared. Just vanished. It was so trippy, but it happened. I filmed a bit on my phone because I knew no one would believe me. It was crazy."

It comes after Johns posted a black-and-white Polaroid on his Instagram in June, paired with short clips of himself tearing through a frantic guitar piece. The captions read: "5 Minute Warning," "Stand 'em up against the wall," and "This concludes the intermission — see you in 1995. #FutureNever."

The posts continue a run of unusual updates in recent weeks, with Johns dropping hints about "time travelling" and slipping in references to 1994. For Johns, 1994 is more than just a throwback. It was the year Silverchair broke through with their debut EP Tomorrow, whose title track topped the ARIA Charts.

Back in April, on his 46th birthday, Johns reemerged on Instagram for the first time since October 2023, writing: "I have to go back in time to finalise something."

Silverchair celebrated the Frogstomp anniversary with a special event in Sydney in March, though Johns was not in attendance.

In 2023, his Silverchair bandmates Ben Gillies and Chris Joannou teamed up to release the memoir Love & Pain, which covered the rise of Silverchair as a burgeoning trio from Newcastle to one of the world's biggest acts.

At the time, Johns pushed for the removal of a two-part Australian Story documentary from ABC iView ahead of the book's release, claiming he had not cleared the rights to Silverchair songs being used in the programme. 

"I was and remain incredibly supportive of them telling their story," Johns wrote on Instagram.

"I was asked at the end of filming to be interviewed about their contribution to the band and although I wished them all the best, I respectfully declined for one reason.

"I haven't been involved in the book nor am I aware of the contents. I've asked on many occasions to read the book but haven't been sent a copy, consequently I was uncomfortable being interviewed to help promote it."

Johns' last offering of new music came in 2022 with his second studio album, FutureNever, which also hit #1 in Australia and picked up ARIA, APRA and AIR Award nominations.

Using Machine Learning to Develop Personalized Vaccines for Cancer


Yale researchers have developed a machine learning model, called Immunostruct, that can help scientists create more personalized vaccines, including vaccines for cancer. They described the tool in Nature Machine Intelligence along with findings from applying it to cancer and immunology data.

    When a potential threat, such as a virus or tumor, arises in our body, our immune cells recognize peptides---essentially short proteins---on the surface of the invader and mount a defensive response. This small region that the immune system interacts with is known as an epitope. 

    Epitope-based vaccines are an emerging technology that contain specific peptides in order to trigger immune responses that precisely target particular diseases. Ongoing studies show that these vaccines are a promising potential immunotherapy for a range of cancers including melanomas, breast cancers, and glioblastomas. Researchers are also investigating whether these vaccines could more effectively combat new variants of infectious diseases.

    To develop these vaccines, scientists can use models that help them predict which peptides are most likely to trigger a strong immune response to a particular antigen. A limitation of many of these models, the researchers say, is that they treat peptides as a one-dimensional sequence of amino acids, not the three-dimensional, active structures that they are.

    Now, Yale researchers have created a model that also incorporates structural and biochemical properties of peptides. In the new study, they show that the multimodal model is more effective at identifying peptide candidates than its predecessors.

    "Cancer is extremely heterogeneous---which often makes it very hard to treat effectively," says Kevin B. Givechian, PhD, an MD-PhD student at Yale and co-first author on the study. “We have built a deep-learning model that integrates more information than had previously been combined to help us improve the identification of vaccine targets that stimulate people's immune system against their own tumor. Doing so would enable a more effective and less toxic method of treatment."

Acclaimed by critics, beloved by readers of all ages, taught everywhere from inner-city grade schools to universities across the country, and translated all over the world, The House on Mango Street is the remarkable story of Esperanza Cordero.

Told in a series of vignettes – sometimes heartbreaking, sometimes deeply joyous – it is the story of a young Latina girl growing up in Chicago, inventing for herself who and what she will become. Few other books in our time have touched so many readers.

And we'd have a basement and at least three washrooms so when we took a bath we wouldn't have to tell everybody. Our house would be white with trees around it, a great big yard and grass growing without a fence. This was the house Papa talked about when he held a lottery ticket and this was the house Mama dreamed up in the stories she told us before we went to bed.
