#IDMastodon Outpatient therapies for #COVID19 To prevent future surges in hospital admissions due to the virus, the @fda_drug_info approved several outpatient options under emergency use authorizations for patients who have mild-to-moderate & are at risk for progressing to severe #COVID19. Although these therapies should not replace vaccination or masking, they provide patients with an extra tool for protection against a potentially increasing severity of illness or hospitalization.

“When ice melts the liquid water volume goes up” - I remember this as children, we worried about glacial melt & Arctic melt leading to sea level rise & flooding in our mostly-at-sea-level deltaic coasts & island states across Asia/Pacific. Now it’s a worse reality. #ClimateCrisis #ArcticDeathSpiral
'The drawing was a page from Leonardo da Vinci’s Codex Atlanticus, and I had been invited to witness the painstaking process of its conservation. One morning last winter, I descended to the conservators’ laboratory, which occupies a room just outside the steel-and-glass doorway to the Ambrosiana’s gleaming vault. At the bottom of the stairs, I was stopped by an attendant, who took a coffee cup from my hands and placed it out of harm’s way.'
'The second challenge is to demonstrate to the Brazilian population that investing in science and innovation will lead to discoveries and new knowledge that will improve people’s lives and address many of the challenges facing society today.'
Dear community, I am writing a paper on scientific journalism and have a question. Is there a regulator for the press in the US, similar to the Independent Press Standards Organisation (IPSO) in UK? Or is it unregulated? #journalism
'A new shortage of a type of penicillin crucial to the fight against syphilis is alarming infectious disease experts, who warn that a protracted scarcity of the drug could worsen the U.S. epidemic of the sexually transmitted infection.'

Hello! A new intro for a new instance.
I lead a research group trying to figure out axonal transport and neurodegeneration. A big emphasis on the microtubules and their motors, but really the transport of anything that doesn't have a membrane around it. For this we use a lot of single molecule methods and live cell imaging. I also post about research culture.

'His efforts at reconciliation ultimately illustrate the extent to which “originalism” is merely a process of exploiting history to justify conservative policy preferences, and not a neutral philosophical framework.'
