Rheumatoid Disease: A short explainer Note I’ve used the term rheumatoid disease rather than rheumatoid arthritis as this condition can affect more than just joints It’s a vast topic and these are just some salient points, hope it’s useful x

So, I am redoing my annual BSL-3 facility training, and this is how we have to dress to work with #SARSCoV2 in the Lab. I am investigating the same strain that is circulating everywhere, Omicron variants KP.2 and KP.3. What do you think? 🙇 #biohazardous #BSL3 #Covid

Happy Easter! It’s a perfect occasion for discourse on eggs & mortality. This year, I’m celebrating by talking to Bill Whitaker on 60 Minutes about how US policies & practices have failed to contain the outbreak & put us at risk of pandemic H5N1 bird flu & millions of deaths.

Looking for an IAQ expert in Utah, willing to be quoted in a (print) story. Happy to share details privately. Who can I contact?

I’m retiring at the end of June after 30 years of teaching. I just wrote my last set of report cards & I wept after finishing. I realized this is the last Sunday I have to give up for this job. The public truly has no idea the extra hours teachers put in outside of the classroom.

Quick update: I have suddenly been struck down by a severe flare of my autoinflammatory condition (Yao Syndrome), & am currently out of commission. To be quite honest, I am struggling to manage this as my health insurer (Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield) is refusing to cover medically necessary meds.

Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield Novartis I would rather not make a public appeal, but due to refusal of insurance to cover necessary medication for a rare condition, even though my doctor (discoverer of the condition, no less!) believes this specific drug is my best shot at stabilization, I'm doing so reluctantly.

Why do N95s work? Cooper the cat shows us how. Electrostatic attraction. It works really well at attracting and capturing particles. N95 filter media is electrostatically charged, making it very efficient at grabbing even ultra-fine particles out of the air. It's still

I keep seeing the question: “Why is the government still acting like COVID isn’t airborne?” Folks… where have you been? They have admitted it. Quietly. Occasionally. Buried in a PDF. But they don’t stress it. They still lead with handwashing. They still avoid requiring

Millions of fans paying billions of dollars to see these two boys.

Secretary Kennedy So to be clear, a former heroin addict with no academic or science background is terminating something created to cure cancers developed by nobel prize winners..........how many will die in the next decade because this man is in power, WHAT THE FUCK ARE WE DOING AMERICA

Here he comes, here comes Speed Racer, he's a demon on wheels 🎶 More from my 2008 visit to the Petersen Museum. I haven't seen the Mach 5 on display in years. I hope the Petersen Museum pulls it out of storage again one day 🙏 Mach 5 is left hand drive! Was the show set in

Long COVID: 4 years of data from Saudi Arabia A new prospective cohort followed 816 patients for up to 4 years after COVID-19. Result? 29% developed Long COVID (per WHO definition). That’s nearly 1 in 3 people.🧵

g. Same with me. I grew up in the South on a farm and reading introduced me to a world far beyond my limited world of poverty and deprivation. I wanted to be a part of that wider world. Reading allowed me to hope and to dream. Books were my refuge from the storm of my invisibility.

I would be more supportive of Gavin Newsom if he had been supportive of air + water quality issues at the CA border. My concern: he seems to "get it" for "richer" areas of California while ignoring 80 million+ gallons of sewage releasing toxic gases into air at the border?? Why?

This is an absolutely jaw-dropping view from a Hurricane Hunter crew member as their aircraft exited eyewall & entered eye of Category 5 Hurricane Melissa earlier today. Clear blue sky aloft, churning ocean waves below, "stadium effect" of eyewall are all stunningly apparent.
