Anyone surprised? This is what many, if not most, viruses do. More information regarding the biology and ecology of the SARS-2 virus in the public domain may have limited the many circulating conspiracy theories. Communication by the science community could have been better. The confusion of what ‘spillover’ technically is serves as a glaring example.

“Once the virus has its foot in the door, it’s easier to adapt further.”

"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.

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

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?
