"The disruption of deep sleep is an under-appreciated factor that is contributing to cognitive or memory decline." New research shows that poor sleep as we age could be a missing piece of the Alzheimer's puzzle. @sleepdiplomat #TED2019
"In the spring, when we lose one hour of sleep, we see a subsequent 24% increase in heart attacks that following day. In the autumn, when we gain one hour of sleep, we see a 21% reduction in heart attacks." @sleepdiplomat #TED2019
"Sleep is not an optional lifestyle luxury. Sleep is a non-negotiable biological necessity. It is your life support system and it is Mother Nature's best effort yet at immortality." @sleepdiplomat #TED2019

New research shows that the fear of smart phones and social media was built on a castle made of sand. Turns out almost all of previous research never bothered to validate their assessments of smart phone use - and that appears to have been a HUGE mistake. (.....)
....
Almost all research examining the harmful effects of social media (SM) have used self-reports of SM. But, new research has found, such self-reports are hardly related to actual SM use. In fact, the average correlation between self and actual is about .20 .....
....What does a correlation of .20 mean. No researcher would ever agree that a correlation of .20 is ok if two assessments are supposed to be measuring the same thing. Another way to think of it is that self-report and actual SM use share only 4% of their variance.....

New research shows Theresa May's version of Brexit that she's handing out knighthoods to get through parliament will cost the UK £100 billion A YEAR by 2030. Now, say they're out by a factor of 10. That's still a loss equal to our EU budget contribution!

Repeat after me:
- There is no Easter Bunny
- There is no Tooth Fairy
- There is no Santa Claus
- There is no Brexit Dividend
Here's my response to Theresa May's deceitful, deliberately misleading open Brexit letter, plus a tonne of information about what Brexit really means in terms of lost jobs and investment, economic impact etc.

New research shows how the Russian Internet Research Agency targeted African Americans before the 2016 election, first with a benign ad fostering solidarity, then right before the election with an ad encouraging them not to vote. nytimes.com/2018/08/16/tec…
This study was led by University of a Wisconsin-Madison professor Young Mie Kim. This article about that study talks about how initial messaging made “identity” appeals, likely to gain trust. Latter messaging aligned with RU’s strategic aims (in this case to reduce Dem votes)
In work led by PhD Ahmer Arif, we saw similar trajectories in Twitter acccounts associated with the IRA... lots of work to enact an identity within a targeted group, and then occasion moves to push certain RU narratives including converging on anti-Hillary & anti-media messages

"New research shows that most US academic institutions do not have policies to ensure clinical trials run by their researchers are registered and results reported."

"There is no complete list of all clinical trials, so we don’t even know that some trials have taken place, never mind what was found in them."

"Information on what was done and what was found in these trials could be lost forever to doctors and researchers, leading to bad treatment decisions, missed opportunities for good medicine, and trials being repeated."

Part two of this thread
Genji was lying down on his bed, awake as daytime, looking at the ceiling like it had all the answers in the universe.
He sighed, shaking his head and sitting, grabbing his holoscreen.
Internet was still limited for security reasons, which was enough for him to get bored quickly.
He was fighting so bravely something that was forming inside him, but leaving his head vacant made him start losing the battle.
"Athena?" his soft voice echoed in his almost empty quarters.
"Yes, agent Shimada?"
"Can you send Lúcio's and Hana's files to my device?"

In the 70s, some on the left were so disgusted by what they viewed as the excesses of their comrades, they broke Right (1)
These people were called Neconservatives, and many of them were brilliant and immensely talented, contributing a great deal to the Right (2)
But they didn’t have ideological or philosophical conversions to conservatism; they didn’t suddenly agree with WFB or NR. (3)
