More than 3 billion people—about 43% of the global population—lived with neurological conditions in 2021.
What great timing, NIH, to reduce by 40% the fund for the Brain Initiative.
I and other scientists rely heavily on brain cell atlases provided with this funding.

There's never been a disease-modifying drug for Parkinson's disease to slow its progression. Now there may be two emerging.

Important paper showing the gains to mothers and society from WFH. A 10% increase in WFH is shown to increase mothers employment by 1%. This is particularly true in professions which are more family unfriendly, like finance and marketing. Two implications:

Unless staff don’t feel like it 🤷🏻‍♀️

Equitable care doesn’t apply to people with weakened immune systems.

HICPAC is again trying to WRONGLY say that n95 are as good as surgicals so then that means even more so, HCW /patients will be told n95/+ aren't necessary FOR ANYTHING

Every public health department in the world should be putting out messages like this.

We are telling kids they have an invisible disease.

This is that billionaire who’s obsessed w anti aging!! I actually rly appreciate him documenting and sharing this bc I’ve been saying for a WHILE how wild it is that fitness/ wellness ppl ignore COVID. This is reality! Masking up is anti aging y’all

Brain damage associated with post-viral illness should be a rare event. It is just not…

NEJM Mandy K. Cohen, MD, MPH let’s get this fixed asap

Pessimistic Persimmon Oh, they will find viral persistence at 5 years and beyond. That part is not novel. Think HIV & Varicella and other fun viruses that can reactivate from dormancy. 😬
