James Throt MBBS, MD, PhD, FRCPath I'm a college professor and we have reduced the number of questions on our final exam by almost 40% over a 3-year period. We give the same grade distribution each semester (A/A-/B+ etc), but students' level of knowledge and processing speed is much lower than in prior years.

This is extremely worrisome! 🚨🚨🚨 Remember Captain Sully — the HERO who successfully landed a plane on the Hudson. He’s usually a calm, keep-to-himself kind of guy — so you KNOW something’s wrong when he speaks out this forcefully. The problem? Trump’s pick for the head of the

🔬Interesting new study: Researchers exposed lab-grown human muscle tissues to blood serum from people with ME/CFS and Long COVID. After 48 muscles: - Produced less force - Fatigued faster - Lost their ability to hold peak strength Let’s breakdown the full paper 🧵

New findings challenge early assumptions that children were largely spared from COVID-19’s severe effects. Accumulating evidence reveals that it can cause both acute and delayed neurological injury in pediatric populations. gemini.google.com/share/859af079…

A ‘universal’ antiviral for everyone! 🔥 A fascinating tale that reinforces the power of research driven by curiosity without preconceived notions. ➡️ For a few dozen people in the world, the downside of living with a rare immune condition comes with a surprising

I admire your resolve in meaningless debates and wish you well with your quest for herd immunity with a pathogen that indeed harms the immune system

Here is one of many reasons I think this will be a bad wave.

The anti-science movement coming out of Covid (and amplified by the algorithm on this site) is costing lives now, and it’s getting worse. This figure is devastating. People are literally rejecting a cure for (a type of) cancer.

“Quiet cracking”, AKA having Long Covid but not even recognising it in yourself because the government & medical institutions have told you covid is NBD. I guess at least they’re cracking quietly & not making a big fuss huh 😵‍💫🫠

🔬New study shows SARS-CoV-2 causes direct damage to heart cell mitochondria - even months after recovery - helping potentially explain Long COVID heart symptoms like chest pain, palpitations & fatigue. Been waiting to have time to read this paper. Let’s break it down. 🧵

Exactly 10 years ago, I gave my first interview, and for IFLScience😁! At that time, I was doing my master's thesis in Biophysics, and we discovered that the lack of prion protein disrupts dopamine and serotonin signaling in the brain, leading to depressive behavior. Time flies!

Another subject people aren’t discussing is COVID-19. “Long Covid is the largest mass disabling event in human history, and it’s still ongoing” (see post below). So on top of an ageing population, we have an increasingly sick population.

This is a direct immunostaining using the frontal lobe of a patient with Alzheimer. Why is there so little high-resolution microscopy being performed in human tissue? There is so much data we can extract..and in 3D! (Dream Theater sounds appropriate this time) #FluorescenceFriday

Still waiting for someone to say this in our parliament.

Two 2025 studies confirm it: In some people, COVID leaves parts of the brain functionally switched off. PET and EEG both show disruptions in regions that control attention, motivation, and emotion. What that actually means🧵

It’s very frightening for many to even consider that #COVID infections are causing neurological damage but there are scans now. It’s impacting the frontal lobe. This is going to change society. The sooner we confront this the better or the damage will continue.🧵

Nej, SVT Nyheter, vanlig förkylning har inte visat sig väcka liv i cancerceller! Studien har inte tittat på vanlig förkylning, utan enbart influensa och COVD-19, dvs viruset SARS-Cov2. Det är INTE en ”vanlig förkylning”.

Research published in the European Heart Journal studying 2,390 people from 16 countries found that SARS2 infections, even mild, likely causes blood vessels to stiffen and age by approx. 5 years, increasing the risk of developing cardiovascular disease, strokes and heart attacks.

”Förkylningen” har gjort er 5 år äldre tjejer. Trist. Ingen anti-rynk kräm kommer hjälpa. Träningen blir bara svårare. Är du redo för höstens omgång? 🦠🦠🦠🦠
