“Make no mistake: if Russia wins its terrible gamble, it will not be the only one to feel empowered. Others will also be tempted by the same dark agenda.”
A fine speech by @MarinSanna the the Lowy Institute in Sydney.

4 lectureships in #neuroscience in Bristol, UK. (2 junior, 2 senior).

Offers £39,745 - £68,823. (Not a typo, unfortunately.)

Not wanting to single out Bristol here, note all UK universities offer these ridiculously low salaries. The expectation, I can only guess, is that your partner with a higher salary subsidises the university via the institution of marriage, or you are independently wealthy, or choose not to have a family.

My team at work just launched new research on the #TwitterMigration: We analyze which platforms are growing - especially #Mastodon, #Tumblr & #Post.

We look at which sites users are adding to their Twitter bios, posting to their friends about & downloading apps for.

Please do boost this, and love to hear any comments or feedback on it!

A lot of Mastodon instance admins are either getting their first hosting bill or getting a very increased bill from extreme growth and usage. Some may be experiencing bill shock.

Please make sure your paying/supporting them!

Twitter was free because you were the product. Mastodon doesn't work this way.

Many instances list a patreon or donation links on their about page.

'We report on the protocolized use of tecovirimat (SIGA Technologies), an antiviral drug with activity against orthopoxviruses (including monkeypox and smallpox),1 under an expanded access program for all patients with monkeypox virus (MPXV) disease in Mbaïki, Central African Republic, between December 2021 and February 2022.2 Included in the study were 14 patients in whom MPXV infection had been diagnosed.'

1. It's Friday. Time for a #flu 🧵
So #influenza-like illness is still rocking the country. This year's epi curve - the one to the far left - is incredibly high & sharp. That's not all flu & it tells us nothing about severity. It does tell us a lot of people have respiratory infections these days.

Hermanos Españoles, si de verdad piensas estás cosas vos no tienes ni idea de los otros gobiernos del mundo.
En mi país, Italia, el primero ministro fue acusado por varias conductas criminales y el acusó los jueces de parcialidad, no se presentó a los procesos y hice leyes ad persona para no ir a juicio.

"data revealed genetically diverse Omicron ancestors already existed across Africa by August 2021. Mutations, altering viral tropism, replication and immune escape, gradually accumulated in the spike gene.”

Definitely a must-read!

Hi #ScienceMastodon, I'm a physician-scientist and immunologist. Our lab studies how aberrant immunity at barrier surfaces drive disease. I have a special interest in type 2 immunity and allergic diseases, but am generally fascinated by #immunology and #biology.

I will never understand far right Conservatives who claim to be fans of #StarTrek but who then complain about current Trek being “too woke”

From Day 1 the entire premise of the Federation is that it’s a post-scarcity socialist utopia whose mission is scientific discovery and the peaceful exploration of space and discovery of new cultures.

The shows have always pushed the social boundaries of the times they aired in. Trek isn’t “turning woke”, Star Trek has always been woke. How’d you not know?

In two weeks you helped us build here a community of over 42,000 people. Thank you for remembering with us.

Paid sick leave is a slippery slope to all kinds of expensive things - paid maternity leave, paid healthcare, paid pensions, paid jobs. Where does it end
