In part 3 thread we will look at how the murder of Emmitt Till, the Montgomery Bus Boycott, the saga of the Little Rock 9, and the freedom rides and sit-ins galvanized Black Americans and their allies to organize in solidarity against discrimination, racism, and in support of justice and equality and how this led to the the March on Washington. Thanks for reading.

Important research out shows more evidence of the role of blood clot factors and small blood clots in aetiology of #LongCovid. Helps support more need for trials looking at clotting and blood thinners. Don’t think it will be a one size fits all though as autoimmune features and latent viral reservoirs lalso important. Timely reminder that we there were over 700,000 new long Covid cases during the period of ‘so called mild’ Omicron infections.

In their #JEB100 Perspective, Tomsic and Silva reflect on the development of #neuroethology in South America, how they hope the field will develop and promote the study of natural behaviors in South American countries

My friend Scott Wesley Long and his team at Houston Methodist today identified the first case of BA.2.86 in Texas, only the 4th so far in the US! It’s spreading slowly (other lineages still dominant) but it’s spreading. https://www.linkedin.com/posts/swesleylong_houston-is-in-a-summer-covid-wave-what-to-activity-7103071664933933056-KS4a?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_ios

'From their first appearance in the U.S., the syringe tides were a ready-made tabloid sensation, and a shocking visualization of the perils of a throwaway society. In the years that followed, major efforts would be taken to reduce Americans’ solid-waste production and protect its shores. But the steel-and-plastic flotsam raised a more specific warning, too, about the increasing and deliberate wastefulness of the American health-care system. That concern went unheeded at the time.'

Tardigrades have survived every mass extinction on Earth since they evolved about a 1/2 billion years ago.There are ~1,300 known species.

And millions of years from now, they won’t even notice we’re gone.
