We're releasing today another bonus clip from behind the Patreon paywall. This originally was produced by Christina as a bonus clip to follow the early release of S5E5; supporters on Patreon at the Companion tier and higher gain access to bonus content that is either excerpted from episodes or prompted by their content every other week. Here is the original description:

"I didn't have any extra clips from the interview with the organizers of The Solarpunk Conference. Instead, here's me (Christina) reading my contribution to The Solarpunk Conference Journal that was published after last year's conference.
Enjoy!

PS- you can catch videos of many of the presentations from the conference on The Solarpunk Conference's YouTube channel (including the presentation/panel that @arielkroon was a part of)."

Macrophages are essential immune cells that reside in all tissues. Some macrophages arise from monocytes in the blood, but during fetal development they also come from a unique pathway!

We still have a lot to learn, but here I'll describe how Zhao et al. (2023) used mouse models to uncover hints about which progenitor cells create tissue-macrophages.

Yesterday I put a limit on this robot:

Psychology/Health Research Bot
@PsychResearchBot

It can still be seen by subscribers and by people who directly look for it at its address above.

NYU "Information for Practice" puts out 400-500 articles per WEEK.

The bot has published 1700+ times since August 7th.

This bot answers the question: "Can there be too much of a good thing?" *YES*

It's not spam, its all high-quality health- and psychology-related research information. Just a metric ton of it.

You can find their homepage at:
https://ifp.nyu.edu/

I may design a bot that just carries the "News" section of their website in the future. Looks like that would be 1-3 posts per day or slightly less.
