"In a controversial move, Australia will become the world’s first country to allow the drugs psilocybin and MDMA to be prescribed by doctors to treat psychiatric conditions including depression and post-traumatic stress disorder. But many scientists are concerned that research has not yet conclusively shown that these drugs are safe or effective. And some clinicians fear that the regulation that will govern access to the drugs is insufficient."

Welcome to #Mastodon 🦣 new people running away from the 🐦 on 🔥🔥
Here are my 2 cents on how I got 🦣 to work for me,
I started with following who I knew from 🐦 and liked
I listed the topics I am interested in reading about, put those into # and started following people with the same interests
The more I followed, the better the experience became 
Always caption your pix, always be courteous and kind 😊
🦣 has an EDIT button 
Have fun!

We need a service where we can all upload our social graph from our Twitter backups, and use that to find our friends on the social web.
So, kind of like movetodon, fedifinder or debirdify, but it doesn't depend on the Twitter API.

80 years ago today, Willem Arondeus was executed by Nazis after he bravely bombed a building to destroy 800,000 identity cards.
He was an openly-gay Dutch artist who forged documents for Jewish people.
His last words were "Tell people that homosexuals are not cowards."
"The recognition that failure needs to be normalized for postdocs and PhD students has gained traction over the past decade, with highly successful scientists and researchers publishing their ‘CVs of failure’."
When cancer behaves like an infectious disease, vaccines may be the solution.
'Devil facial tumour cells spread from animal to animal and are able to slip past the devil’s immune system because they produce few of the molecules called major histocompatibility complex class I (MHC-1) proteins, which the immune system uses to recognize harmful invaders. The vaccine targets one of the two forms of the disease and aims to make the tumour cells more visible to the immune system.'

A healing #wound is a microcosm of many cell states found during #organogenesis. In addition to dead and dying cells, one may find proliferating cells, migrating cells, and cells that are differentiating or switching fate. How is this multitude of cell states, often mutually exclusive, established and maintained for successful repair and #regeneration?

'Mavericks, also known as Polintons, are unique because they share features of both transposons and viruses. Like transposons, Mavericks are flanked by terminal inverted repeats and can readily jump and insert into genomes. Like viruses, they code for a large number of proteins, including a type-B DNA polymerase, a retroviral-like integrase, as well as major and minor capsid proteins'
'El primer caso documentado de un cáncer provocado por un agente externo fue, como usted recuerda en el documental, el de los deshollinadores de Londres. Ellos desarrollaron cáncer de escroto porque solían hacer sus necesidades sin lavarse las manos, y el hollín tenía agentes carcinógenos.'

Super interesting. Jill Lepore writes in the NYT today about the absurdity of an unamendable constitution when amendment was baked in-- and launches publicly The Amendment Project (https://amendmentsproject.org) a database of amendments proposed over the last 200+ years. #Constitution #History #Histodons #SCOTUS https://www.nytimes.com/2023/07/01/opinion/constitutional-amendments-american-history.html

"The new vaccine does not contain the live viruses that are in the polio vaccines currently used in some low- and middle-income countries. It adds what’s known as an inactivated polio component into a multifaceted shot that is already being used to protect young children against five other dangerous infections. A similar shot is already available in the United States and some European countries."
'No federal regulations protect farmworkers—who are mostly noncitizen immigrants from Latin America, commonly live under the poverty line, and have few legal rights—from extreme heat. Farmworkers die from heat-related injuries at 20 times the rate of other laborers.'

"Here, we describe a patient with selective IgA2 deficiency (CD068) with concomitant small intestinal Crohn’s disease (CD) and duodenal and ileal inflammation. To our knowledge, this is the first case of IgA2deficiency with a potential link to inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). This report might provide insights into potential IgA2-specific functions."
News from Gates & Wellcome
"Two leading medical charities will contribute about $550mn to fund a large-scale clinical trial of what would be the world’s first new tuberculosis vaccine for more than a century."
