Saw THE NERDIEST THING EVER --> Friend downed a cup of gin over a ZK-EVM debate at 2am the other day.

Figured I better do my homework before meeting them next.

Mini 🧵summarizing @VitalikButerin 's "The Different Types of ZK-EVMs"
vitalik.ca/general/2022/0…
@VitalikButerin 1/ There's been a lot of buzz recently about "ZK-EVM" projects.

Projects like @0xPolygon, @zksync, and @Scroll_ZKP have all made announcements, alongside others.

We will explore key differentiation between ZK-EVM & hopefully it brings your zero-knowledge up to some-knowledge!
@VitalikButerin @0xPolygon @zksync @Scroll_ZKP 2/ The goal of these projects is to use ZK-SNARK technology to make cryptographic proofs of execution of Ethereum-like transactions.

This could make it much easier to verify the Ethereum chain itself or to build ZK-rollups that are much more scalable.

📢 You say research, I say Friday!

It's that time of week again, and today's #ResearchFriday is all about zombie cells... 🧟 (1/6)
Cells in our immune systems, called T cells, help us fight infections and heal wounds.

As we get older, T cells can sometimes go wrong and become zombie-like. They don't die as cells naturally should and they turn other cells into 'zombies' too. (2/6)
🔬 Dr Sian Henson found that people with #Type2 diabetes have more zombie T cells than people without diabetes. It means wounds don’t heal as quickly and they could make you more prone to infections. (3/6)

Ok, since I have been badgering you somewhat for donations to my @DiabetesUK million step challenge fundraiser I should explain in a bit more detail why...
When I was 21, and at university, I started feeling unwell. I thought nothing of it, maybe a virus (it was November, so flu season) decided to take some time away from lectures and get some rest....
My symptoms worsened, frequent urination and thirst being the main ones, but still, I persisted. Probably something flu-like....

I certainly don't disagree with @AdaLovelaceInst's five messages...

...but a few points of clarification:

1) The #NationalDataOptOut, while it was (cack-handedly) introduced alongside #GDPR in May 2018, had in fact existed since #caredata - when it... Image
...was known as a #Type2 opt out - in case you were wondering about the derivation of #Type1s.

2) There was no announced date for the "expiration" of #Type1 opt-outs - certainly NOT "June 2021". There's no mention of this in the #GPDPR #DPN issued on...

...12 May 2021, and one has to wonder who suggested this to the authors. And why. (A subtle attempt to 'rewrite history'?)

3) #caredata did NOT "lead to" #Caldicott2; indeed, Dame Fiona's Review predated the scheme by months - and was instrumental in...

A new research study in @bmj_latest doi.org/10.1136/bmj.m3… finds the risk to die early (<70yrs) increases with irregularity & length of women’s #menstrualcycle irregularity, with premature mortality mostly due to #cardiovasculardisease. What's it mean for women with #PCOS? 1/13
PCOS affects 10% of women worldwide & irregular menstrual cycles are a common symptom. Many of the women in this study likely have PCOS. Understandably, the higher rates of premature mortality reported will be worrying to women with PCOS. But what causes period irregularity? 2/13
Increased levels of male hormones #androgens are a cause of irregular periods (see: doi.org/10.1177/204201…; doi.org/10.1210/en.201…) and also impact on pancreatic beta cell function (doi.org/10.2337/db20-0…) causing #insulinresistance 3/13
