This talk from @NAChristakis really resonated with me. War often compresses innovation cycles. Yet, here is a striking example of how ideas from network science translate into high-stakes, real-world applications. Highly recommend this channel: youtube.com/watch?v=XbqF5e…

The bacteria in your gut depend on where you are in the social network. And the microbes within us treat our social networks as the extended environment in which they thrive. They can spread from person to person. New #HNL work out today in @Nature. 1/

Leveraging a rare alignment of two spacecraft, researchers show that Alfvén waves—a common type of electromagnetic plasma wave—drive the acceleration and heating of the solar wind. The findings provide insights into a decades-old mystery in solar physics. scim.ag/8hK

Deeply sequenced microbiome data from non-industrialized settings are uncommon. In new #HNL work, we use metagenomic data from 1,871 people in 19 isolated Honduras villages to report associations between bacterial species and human phenotypes and factors. cell.com/cell-reports/p…

@BalesHoward @SupercarAve @JoeBiden Because they bare children, and men don’t, that’s why having an abortion is a woman’s right.

@BalesHoward @SupercarAve @JoeBiden 1,2,3 year olds are capable of surviving for a short time. However, it is the responsibility of the mother to nurture that kid. Everything changes after birth. Yes, rape, incest, ectopic pregnancies are just some of the reasons, the choice should be entirely upto the mom.

Make no mistake: this is a direct result of Donald Trump ending Roe v. Wade. The Vice President and I won’t stop until we restore the protections of Roe v. Wade in federal law for all women in every state.

@BalesHoward @SupercarAve @JoeBiden Putting up a rainbow flag doesn’t magically grow a fetus within you. Nobody is too old to learn. If you are convinced from this thread convince other pro lifers. Ty.

@ShivkumarVs @SupercarAve @JoeBiden I'm way to old to educate, you're welcome to your opinion and I'll keep my. I'm thinking if i put up my rainbow flag, then i can have a baby and maybe I'll change my opinion

@BalesHoward @SupercarAve @JoeBiden I’m just educating you buddy. I have the same right as you to comment on woman’s rights. You have never borne a baby and never will. You don’t get to decide what a woman does with her body.

@ShivkumarVs @SupercarAve @JoeBiden and you're not a woman so STFU, let a woman without a penis talk.

@BalesHoward @SupercarAve @JoeBiden Yes but even with that heartbeat, they cannot survive on their own without their mother’s body. Which is why the mother gets to decide. Do you get it now? Convince other pro lifers if you do.

@ShivkumarVs @SupercarAve @JoeBiden oh really, not when their alive and kicking and having a heartbeat none of that, so it's act just ok to kill you, seems weird

@BalesHoward @SupercarAve @JoeBiden No, she’s not a baby until she’s born. It’s every woman’s right to choose whether to have the baby or not. No you, not other women, not politicians, only the pregnant woman. Once the fetus is born that ‘girl’ will have rights. Understand the difference.

@SupercarAve @JoeBiden if the baby is a girl then wouldn't she have rights?

I agree IIT has many shortcomings, but I don’t follow the rationale behind this letter. It seems to say that: Not the leading theory + not testable in the short term = pseudoscience. Is string theory also pseudoscience? Or maybe I’m missing something? psyarxiv.com/zsr78

@ceptional I see z-scores instead of raw effect sizes everywhere.

@ceptional Thank you! This notion has penetrated microbiology too.

I have just been to the most devastating talk in my life. Exercise has no effect on daily energy expenditure - the most and least active populations burn the same number of calories. WTF. @HermanPontzer

A month’s supply of insulin is now capped at $35 for anyone on Medicare.

Electrical stimulation of the spinal cord has enabled 9 people who were paralysed to walk again — and we’re beginning to understand the biological mechanisms involved. go.nature.com/3fWnCXw

The government should not tell women what to do with their bodies or how to plan their families.
