"How exactly the drug prevents major cardiac events isn’t fully understood. Some of the effects can likely be chalked up to weight loss itself, which is associated with improvements in metrics that influence heart health, such as blood pressure, Yang said. But mechanisms independent of weight loss may also be at work. In the trial, lower rates of cardiovascular events began showing up before participants lost weight. One explanation is the drug’s impact on inflammation, which is associated with heart disease: C-reactive protein, a rough proxy for inflammation, dropped by nearly 40 percent in study participants."

**Where are the universities in the Fediverse?**

Why don't universities have their own Mastodon instances yet?

Why don't students get a Mastodon handle when they enrol?

Why don't universities host lecture videos on PeerTube in the Fediverse?

There is a lot to be said for universities getting more involved in the Fediverse.

A call that can only be supported! #boost

Cooperative bonobos.

“To have extended, friendly, cooperative relationships between members of other groups who have no kinship ties is really quite extraordinary,” said Joan Silk, a primatologist at Arizona State University who was not involved in the study.'

“Although we hope it’ll be a long time before we face the next global #pandemic, now is a great opportunity to reflect on how the scientists interfaced with the public as we faced the challenge of #COVID­19. There’s much for which we can be proud. Even so, thousands of people need­lessly lost their lives due to #misinformation & #disinformation. Now’s the time to develop better strategies for communication between scientists & the public” https://www.nature.com/articles/s41577-023-00964-9
