✅ NEW (draft) CRITERIA for the #ANTIPHOSPHOLIPID syndrome have been presented by Erkan et al. during #ACR22. Here is my summary slide ⬇️

Golden light over Jackson Lake.

As storm clouds rolled through overhead, the sun broke through, casting golden light down the mountains. An exciting moment watching this scene brighten up.

Here’s a fun ICU puzzle: what is causing this crazy spiking pattern on the ECG waveform of both an intra-aortic balloon pump & ICU monitor?

A #MedEd 🧵 on an important clinical artifact & the triboelectric effect that we’ll need to go back in time 2500 years to understand! #FOAMed #PhysicsInTheICU

This statue depicts Saint Bartholomew, an early Christian martyr who was allegedly skinned alive. If you look closely, you’ll notice that’s not a robe that he’s holding. It's actually his dissected skin hanging around him. This stunning statue is by the Italian sculptor Marco d’Agrate, c.1562. It is currently on display at Duomo di Milano in Italy. I've never seen it in person, but I hope I can one day! I think you'll agree, it's pretty awesome.

What's a good name for #neuroscience themed mastodon server?

A little taste of 1998. #Retrocomputing #toshibalibretto #minidisc

What I love about #masto is that I've discovered more artists, photographers, writers, poets, historians, archaeologists, heritage experts etc. in the last five days than I have in 10+ years on all the other platforms combined thanks to all the introductions and sharing going on. I always felt that social media was an obligatory part of the job, now it feels like a place to discover a creative world beyond my own field.

An interdisciplinary team discovered a previously unknown Etruscan temple (45 meters by 35 meters) in the ancient city of Vulci, which lies in the Italian region of Latium. It is dated towards the end of the 6th or beginning of the 5th century BC. https://phys.org/news/2022-11-previously-unknown-monumental-temple-tempio.html

“Death blowing bubbles,” 18th century. The bubbles symbolize life's fragility. This plaster work appears on the ceiling of Holy Grave Chapel in Michaelsberg Abbey, Bamberg, Germany. After the monastery’s dissolution in 1803, the buildings were used as the city's hospital.

Please take a moment to drink in the absolute spectacle that is the Brands.town instance: https://brands.town/explore

This piece from @ct_bergstrom et al arguing for science education adapted to the #misinformation age makes sense. Still, as I'm sure others have pointed out, other disciplines already teach these skills. The trouble is that as a society we continue to devalue the #humanities and #socialSciences in our rush to celebrate #STEM. I'm a #historian, so I know predictions are dubious. Still, to me it seems like this sort of siloed approach only helps misinformation thrive. https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/to-fight-misinformation-we-need-to-teach-that-science-is-dynamic/

Is there an #immunology #mastodon instance and why isn't it called mast.cell?

My hot take: the next thing Mastodon should do is not just hold to the 64k limit (or raise it) but start evolving the desktop and mobile UIs to encourage longer posts. Twitter and Facebook's pivoting of our brains towards required brevity is a major part of how we all wound up in this hellscape out of Black Mirror. It's time to nudge people back towards normal attention spans.
