I wanted to write something like, "oh you don't say" but this is *actually* a brutal read

Each sentence I speak, each word that I write,
Feels like a burden, a battle to fight.

My mind is a prison, my thoughts like chains,
Depression and anxiety, my constant pains.
The weight of my worries, the fear of the unknown,
Makes it hard to see light, and find my way home.

And when that day comes, when my sentence is done,
I'll be free from my demons, and I'll finally have won.

"Doctors and researchers are beginning to see a connection between #COVID surges and heart attacks... The increase in deaths among 25 to 44-year-olds was a staggering 30%"

If there's one thing that you share about hearts on Valentine's Day, let it be this.

As #norovirus ramps up in the US, a couple reminders I personally needed:

- Norovirus is an *asshole*. It can live (and infect people) on surfaces for up to four weeks, and you can shed infectious virus for 72 hrs after symptoms end.

- Hand sanitizer and Lysol wipes don’t kill it. Alcohol doesn’t kill it.

- Soap and water followed by fresh bleach in a freshly made solution or steam cleaning (or hot laundry with oxygen or chlorine bleach) works.

It’s now Feb 2023, she is now 17 & reinfected.

Preventing infection and reinfection is the only way to prevent #LongCovid.

For months I've been sharing stories of trailblazers who have made game changing contributions, but weren't widely acknowledged. "History" after all, hasn't exactly celebrated people equally.

Today I went back & tagged each post

➡️ #HistoryRemix ⬅️

so you can find them together on #Mastodon.

I hope that everyone can see remarkable people who look like them - pioneers, scientists, writers, musicians, poets, activists and inventors - and recognize all of us are capable of great achievements.

Is anyone surprised? "researchers estimates that the training of GPT-3, which ChatGPT is partly based on, consumed 1,287 MWh, and led to emissions of more than 550 tons of carbon dioxide equivalent" https://www.wired.com/story/the-generative-ai-search-race-has-a-dirty-secret/ #climatechange #AI

To be fair #ChatGPT is a fantastic bullshit detector. 👀

Here's how you can use it: when you see anyone peddling ChatGPT-based "solutions", that right there is almost certainly bullshit.

You're welcome! 👍

Best Venn diagram ever

"Accurate prediction of TCR–antigen specificity can be described as deriving computational solutions to two related problems: first, given a TCR of unknown antigen specificity, which antigen–MHC complexes is it most likely to bind; and second, given an antigen–MHC complex, which are the most likely cognate TCRs?"

How to be an academic in a world on fire?

As scientists concerned about the climate crisis, @clarekelly and I set out to rethink the role and goals of the university in tackling the 21st century's challenges. Inspired by Raworth's Doughnut Economics, we propose seven new ways to thinking - not only to help us think, but also to act.

You could have made $49 million per year since Jesus was born and still not make the profits Pfizer did last year.
