In 2023, we should make it a goal to help each other with our side hustles so we can make them our main hustles and we can all quit our jobs and break capitalism. How ‘bout it? Are we in? Tell me about your side hustle! #BusinessOnMastadon #SideHustle
Much of the T cell aging happens in convalescence. You see continued cell turnover, aging, and activation 100 days out

Masks Are a Proven Way to Defend Yourself from Respiratory Infections.
Respiratory viruses have rebounded hard after COVID seclusion, and masks are one of the best ways to avoid getting them
Definitely didn’t need to wake up to this article. “The flush of a commercial toilet releases a Vesuvius-like cloud of tiny droplets and aerosol particles that reaches more than 5 feet above the seat.” #MedMastodon #medicine #covid #gross https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-022-24686-5 https://www.latimes.com/science/story/2022-12-23/green-lasers-reveal-you-should-close-the-toilet-lid-before-you-flush
Stephen Colbert:
“In the U.S. alone, the COVID-19 vaccines have saved more than 3 million lives and helped prevent 18.5 million hospitalizations. And if that’s not enough, because idiots in your party politicize the vaccine, almost twice as many Republicans died from COVID before the midterms than Democrats. Y’all killed your own voters. It’s the stupidest political strategy since the Whig slogan of 1840, ‘Tippecanoe and Taunt a Grizzly.'”

I see a lot of newer people looking for jobs or hires around the fediverse, and I just wanted to let y'all know we have a hashtag for that: #getfedihired

Twitter changed science — what happens now it’s in turmoil?
The microblogging platform has transformed research communication, but its future is in doubt.
ME HA TOCADO
Me ha tocado la suerte de seguir cumpliendo mi sueño de poder publicar mis libros y que esta vez sea con un prólogo de Jon Sistiaga y una encuadernación preciosa.
POR FIN TENGO MI LIBRO.
Ojo que han aparecido en un polígono con las cajas de OTRO REPARTO.
Obviamente ya hay reclamación puesta, que se ha tenido que ir mi editora a por ellos y acaba de traermelos.
A study shows that an encapsulation method for vitamin A improves the nutrient’s stability during cooking and long-term storage while allowing it to be absorbed into the body, potentially helping to develop strategies against vitamin A deficiency.

My favourite time of year... the #BMJ christmas edition! This year the article that resonates is "Global Health Nonsense" Hope I am not offending but it rings true, we need to be careful that we do not use words and jargon that make it harder to understand what it is we are trying to do or focus too much on the new and innovation that the basics are forgotten. As the old adage goes... KISS (Keep it simple stupid!). Good pull out bingo card included!

"Here, we tested the ability of the #leishmania major sphingolipids inositol phosphorylceramide (IPC), and ceramide to shelter ergosterol by preventing binding and cytotoxicity of the sterol-specific toxins streptolysin O and perfringolysin O using flow cytometry. In contrast to mammalian systems, Leishmania sphingolipids did not preclude toxin binding to sterols in the membrane. However, IPC interfered with cytotoxicity."

"The privileged treatment is part of a broader pattern, a Times investigation found. For years, NYU’s emergency room in Manhattan has secretly given priority to donors, trustees, politicians, celebrities, and their friends and family, according to 45 medical workers, internal hospital records and other confidential documents reviewed by The Times."
