1-dose vs. 2-dose of #PfizerVaccine. Some observations from Israel as they report 10,000 new cases on Monday. “single dose appeared less effective than we had thought and also lower than Pfizer had suggested” google.ca/amp/s/amp.theg… #COVID19 #COVID #CovidVaccine

Starship landing nominal!

Just recieved my 2nd dose! I know I have to wait 2 weeks for the full immunity to kick in, but when can I expect 5G to start working?

Are you using AAV to deliver genes to the nervous system? Good news / bad news. biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… First the bad news: we found AAV can shrink dendrites and disrupt synaptic transmission. The good news? We figured out why it happens, and can tell you how to avoid it. (1/n)

"There is perhaps no phenomenon which contains so much destructive feeling as 'moral indignation,' which permits envy or hate to be acted out under the guise of virtue." - Erich Fromm

Five years ago today, I became Dr Hryhorczuk. #PhDone Not anonymizing Thierry Alquier 🙂

As a disclaimer, our metabolic phenotyping core facility @crchum declines to perform any studies (on a collaborative or service basis) with such a poor design.

Although energy (in W, kcal/hr, etc. etc.) is the universal biological currency, many researchers insist on using VO2 as a proxy. Just an observation about what is, at depth, a complex subject with a major component of historical inertia.

Female mice seem to be more resistant to #obesity than male mice — but why? With help from the Promethion Metabolic Cage System, researchers combined #indirectcalorimetry, body composition, and #qPCR analyses to find out. ow.ly/2TEb50JWQ4y #highfatdiet #foodintake #diet

A frequent misconception among people using mouse genetics : CreERT2 + Tamoxifen is VERY toxic to proliferating cells. More than Cre. So all your control mice should have CreERT2 + Tamoxifen. Yes it complicates things a lot, but is the only way fwd. See more on this below 👇
