I study #hypoxia, #glycolysis and #pseudoprogression in #glioblastoma and create animal models to test our findings. Rat neurosurgeon. Dabbler in low frequency transcranial #ultrasound.

The cat just went over to the HomePod mini on my desk, meowed at it, and Siri said "sure here is some music for you" and the cat perched on the window sill listening to Garbage and Elliott Smith.

I just want to know how long this has been going on.

The PhD is cool and all but it can take a serious toll on your mental health for some.

A Child’s Life Forever Shattered

Guys, I’ve been quiet mainly because I haven’t been well. So happy new year to you :)
Coming back to browsing social media it hit me how reactionary it is. The most popular posts are those reacting to externally generated content, mainly by mainstream #media. I wonder if we can use #Mastodon to be more proactive than reactive. There is of course a lot of innovation & originality here already, but how to spread that is the question.
@clickhere You're in luck, CleanAirKits ships internationally and they're way more professional looking than mine. No hanging models yet, but I'll get on them about that! https://www.cleanairkits.com/shop

As someone who wishes war was not a part of life, I say, Mr. President (@[email protected], @[email protected]) take the gloves off. Putin has never held back against us. He has never held back against Ukraine. He will continue so long as he thinks he can win something. Show him he can't.

Tl;dr
After SARS-COV2 infection, immune cells can't detect other viruses, and their ability to respond to bacteria is also hampered by a defective metabolism and surface receptor dysfunction. In addition, they promote spontaneous clotting that could lead to stroke, thrombosis or heart attack.

Transcriptional reprogramming from innate immune functions to a pro-thrombotic signature by monocytes in COVID-19 - Nature Communications

Although myeloid cell dysfunction has been observed in COVID-19, the underlying mechanisms remain incompletely understood. Here, the authors demonstrate that monocytes from patients with mild to moderate COVID-19 show a blunted innate immune response and a pro-thrombotic signature following secondary SARS-CoV-2 challenge.

If you sing the "but both sides" song and one side is demonstrably wrong, then you are adding weight and credibility to the side that is wrong.

Nazis: Let's exterminate the Jews.
Decent person: You're terrible for saying that. Let's not exterminate anyone!
Mainstream media: Both sides are so extreme! I can't decide which is worse! WHY IS EVERYTHING SO POLARIZED?

You take a step toward him. He takes a step back.
