Soft Skills:
1./ The most obvious:
-- Problem solving --
Improve your problem-solving skills and logical thinking by learning to dissect more complex problems into smaller, more manageable ones, and tackling them one by one

Good news from #Brussels
The leaked @EU_Commission non-paper on Emergency Electricity Mkt Interventions addresses the root sources of the 10-fold electricity price increase:
➡️Excessive profits of inframarginal technologies (nuclear, hydro, renewables)
➡️Gas scarcity

The proposals imply a big step #forward in our understanding of how #electricity markets should be designed
And watch out 🔊 because emergency measures pave the way to #structural reform!

1/ Acknowledging that not all technologies should be paid at the cost of gas-fired generation is equivalent to acknowledging that:
📢 a single *technology-neutral* *energy-only* market design is not adequate – under emergencies & beyond

#PSX losing charm every passing day? Activity at the bourse says so…
Long 🧵, hopefully an interesting one.
With #PSX being in existence for a long time now, 🇵🇰 hasn’t really seen a pick-up in #investor base – or say has been seeing a downfall.

While in we are aware of lack of interest in equities, I did some working on turnover in PSX. It’s a disappointing one (see chart below). #PSX is trading $45mn p/d on avg. these days – just a notch above what we used to trade back in the end of 1990s. Yes, let that sink in.

While this is saddening, this shd be questioned! #Tech has picked up which shd hv made investors’ access easier; businesses are making money, thus attract investors; both buy & sell side of capital markets hv grown in size. Yet why have we only fallen down rather grow?

1/ A tweetorial- Watchman Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion!

2/ what is the left atrial appendage?
The LAA is derived from the left wall of the primary atrium (embryo). Its diff from the true LA and its suited to function as a decompression chamber during left ventricular systole and during other periods when left atrial pressure is high

3/ the appendage is like your fingerprint. No two are the same.
Common shapes are:
🥦Cauliflower/Broccoli (hardest)
💨Windsock (easiest)

A short thread on a recent publication from @HiyaaLab, in Translational Psychiatry. The study shows that the dendritic structure & electrical properties of adult neurons in healthy brains depend on proactive regulation by the gene Tcf4, a high risk allele for #Schizophrenia.

The #research reveals unexpected gene-networks, previously known to be involved in ciliary pathways, underlie #structural and #functional integrity of mature neurons in the healthy adult brain.

Given that the elaborate #dendrites & spines enable a neuron’s physical and electrical connectivity in a #neural circuit, alteration in the structure disrupts neuronal function, affecting the circuits and #cognition. 3/7

Counternarrative: I've been trying to distill my thoughts into words about #COVID19 and #Black #America. We would be complicit in #structural #racism to assume the cases & deaths look the way they do because we're "all not taking this seriously and playing basketball" 😑😒🙄 1/
Instead, historical social, economic, educational, health, etc. inequities brought us where we are. Yes, some Black and Brown people are "killing the game" and have "gotten ahead". But, many don't have the luxury to shelter in place/work from home. 2/
The alternative- be SUBJECTED to HUNDREDS (if not thousands) of exposures a day as an essential employee (e.g., nurse, doctor, cashier, driver, postal worker), riding public transportation, grocery shopping for family and/or neighbors, etc. 3/
38 yo M with IVDA comes in with MRSA bacteria and sepsis. Over 5 cm vegetation on TV.
Surgical options not particularly attractive with platelets of 28K, Hgb of 7.8 and INR 1.5. So #Angiovac performed with 70% reduction of the mass.
A successful result under the circumstances. Patient off pressers in under 24 hours and platelets and petichial rash improving. #Structural #cardiotwitter
