Many studies show that #COVID19 #SARSCoV2 causes premature aging of the brain, often producing dementia. See @DrJohnHhess thread below.
I'm sending some references.

5/ Overall, studies show that #SARSCoV2 infection of the brain -- even in mild #COVID19 disease -- can lead to inflammation that, in turn, spawns disorders that mimic #Parkinsons #Alzheimers & general dementia, including short & long term memory losses.
Hope the refs help.

Many Americans prefer to ignore our Nation's legacy of slavery or worse: claim there were "happy slaves" in the Old South.
#Brooklyn once had the world's largest freed & escaped slave community, thanks to the Underground Railroad.

...you may make a year-end contribution to help save one of the original Stations on the Underground Railroad, an key part of African American history. Helping "the Tents" means recognizing that the flight to freedom is at the core of our National story.

Dear Mr. Musk (@elonmusk );
You are destroying @Twitter in countless ways. The most egregious are your calls for Star Chamber prosecution of #TonyFauci . But you have done so much more damage -- enough, that @Tesla is suffering as its stock drops & EV buyers turn elsewhere.

2/ Despite the snarky & sometimes cruel comments levied against me @Twitter (including more than one death threat) I have usually found it a terrific platform. It's like a great newspaper: you have a window into everything from pop music to astrophysics, kittens to kinases.

3/ @Twitter has been a place for all sorts of perspectives -- you never know what comment or video might blow your mind, taking your day on an unexpected tangent. Most Twitterati strived to be smart, funny, maybe snarky -- not pernicious, deliberately false or threatening.

It's World AIDS Day: time to take stock. Because there is no #HIV #vaccine and women can't compel men to use condoms, people continue to get newly infected. And because the majority of them live in poor parts of the world, the undeclared #pandemic is very expensive.

Of that, about $780 million goes to the @CDCgov for prevention programs -- and much of that is passed onto the States.

Since returning from California I've given comments like yours, @JezebelKat a lot of hard thinking: of course, YOU ARE CORRECT. A Zoom talk is still crossing a picket line. I was not paid for the Berkeley or SF talks & the SF one was sponsored by the Global Health Alliance.

2/ There are many reasons folks all over the world -- not just Californians -- should pay close attention to the UC @UAW strike. It's the largest higher education labor action in history, affecting tens of 1000s of striking grad students, postdocs and teaching assistants.
MORE
3/ Here in NYC the strike is barely noted in news media, and is poorly understood. But in Calif support for the strike is growing. And it's easy to see why. MORE

They named them the Borg. And they affect #ClimateChange.
They are ancient, and unlike anything ever seen before.
#JenniferDoudna & colleagues discovered the Borgs -- segments of archaea DNA that enter bacteria capable of oxidizing methane.

2/ In seas, peat, permafrost, bogs there're bacteria capable of making methane (CH4) -- which is up to 80Xs worse #greenhousegasemissions than CO2. There are also bacteria that oxidize CH4, turning it into not-as-bad CO + O2. MORE

3/ Global warming's speeding thawing of permafrost and bogs, peat etc. resulting in huge increases in CH4 release. Methanoperedens bacteria oxidize methane -- which is good.
The researchers discovered 19 "Borg" types that "assimilate" the bacteria, giving them CH4-eating genes. Image

Two #smallpox #vaccines may be used for #monkeypox: efficacy unknown. In the U.S. now the Norwegian JYNNEOS 2-dose vax is used for #MPX but it's assumed prior ACAM2000 Sanofi smallpox vax protects.
Here, the case of an ACAM2000-vaxed man who got MPX.

"...this case highlights that #vaccination alone does not guarantee immunity from #monkeypox. Public health leaders should taper expectations that vaccination alone will end the outbreak."
