@AlisaValdesRod1 Erythrocytes (RBCs) carry oxygen (O2) bound to hemoglobin (Hb) from lungs to tissues. As RBCs flow through the microcirculation, they encounter regions of lower tissue PO2 & Hb releases O2 which diffuses out of the capillaries & into the tissue. Mess that up & you're in trouble.

@politicalham @UCalgary @ableg @abpoli The water issue is a nothing burger. Less than one day per year water usage from the river. And BTW, we aren't having a drought. You are the biggest source of misinformation that we have in Alberta.

Ps. Homecare is even more privatized & less regulated than #LTC, which explains the issues, IMO 👇 ‘His death is raising questions about oversight in Ontario’s growing home care system which is delivered by HUNDREDS OF CONTRACTORS but managed centrally by Ontario Health atHome’

These billionaires and their families are buying your government. Not secretly, but legally and in broad daylight – because they can. The Musk family? $71 million. The Yass family? $55 million. The Brockman family? $25 million. And that's just the top three. While you're paying more for groceries, more for rent, more for health care, these families are writing nine-figure checks to make sure the politicians who protect their tax breaks stay in power. That’s not democracy – it's an auction: Power sold to the highest bidder. Get billionaire money out of politics and tax the damn rich.

Kerry: I was part of the any number of conversations with Netanyahu. Psaki: Pitching the US strike Iran? Kerry: Yes, he wanted us to strike. He came to president Obama. He made a presentation to ask to strike. President Obama refused. President Biden refused. President Bush refused. The only president who has agreed to this, obviously, is President Trump

Nevada's largest utility says it will need three times the electricity required to power Las Vegas just to handle proposed data centers — and it probably can't do that without fossil fuels. to.pbs.org/4c0Eh6n

Northwestern University scientists find inflamed skin may allow SARS-CoV-2 entry as immune signals raise ACE2 and TMPRSS2, increasing viral uptake in lab grown skin models, suggesting skin could be an overlooked route. biorxiv.org/content/10.648…

@ABDanielleSmith A 2023 report from the Pembina Institute and industry analysts estimated that over 11 gigawatts of renewable energy projects, representing up to $33 billion in potential investment, were put at risk or canceled following the UCP government's unexpected moratorium on approvals.

California just had its hottest and driest March ever recorded. It was warmer than any April on record since 1895. Warmer than the average May. And as dry as a typical July. A month that would have been virtually impossible in the pre-industrial climate.

FYI, "Variant BA.3.2, nicknamed 'Cicada'..has appeared in at least 23 countries and accounted for up to 30% of cases in some Eastern European locales.. The United States may be following suit.. While Cicada accounted for a very small number of U.S. cases (less than 4%) in mid-March,.. it now accounts for more than 20% of tested COVID infections as of early April.. The variant is considered highly mutated, as its 70-75 mutations make it distinct from the JN.1 lineage, which has been the source of the predominant U.S. strains over the last two years.." Viruses are advancing, people are...you know. 'US cases of COVID variant 'Cicada' up more than 15% and rising' usatoday.com/story/news/hea…

I hate to have to call a Premier a blatant liar, but that’s exactly what’s happening. There is no way for me to have a “change of mind”. The #ForeverCanadian petition was filed under the “legislative pathway”, not “constitutional” one, which demands a vote in the Legislature.

BREAKING: No one can explain why we have not yet seen, or even been told the names of, the fighter pilots that the US so bravely rescued from Iran when they definitely weren't trying to steal uranium. Why would Trump miss out on such a big PR win that he needs so badly? 🤔

We can't have clean energy because it will destroy the oil industry. We can't have healthcare because it will destroy the health insurance industry. We can't have peace because it will destroy the weapon industry. Capitalism built a system we can't afford to do the right thing.

🦔A researcher invented a fake eye condition called bixonimania, uploaded two obviously fraudulent papers about it to an academic server, and watched major AI systems present it as real medicine within weeks. The fake papers thanked Starfleet Academy, cited funding from the Professor Sideshow Bob Foundation and the University of Fellowship of the Ring, and stated mid-paper that the entire thing was made up. Google's Gemini told users it was caused by blue light. Perplexity cited its prevalence at one in 90,000 people. ChatGPT advised users whether their symptoms matched. The fake research was then cited in a peer-reviewed journal that only retracted it after Nature contacted the publisher. My Take The researcher made the papers as obviously fake as possible on purpose. The AI systems didn't catch it. Neither did the human researchers who cited it in real journals, which means people are feeding AI-generated references into their work without reading what they're actually citing. I've covered the FDA using AI for drug review, the NYC hospital CEO ready to replace radiologists, and ChatGPT Health launching this year. All of that is happening in the same environment where a condition funded by a Simpsons character and endorsed by the crew of the Enterprise was being presented as emerging medical consensus. The people making these deployment decisions seem to believe the pipeline from research to AI to patient is more supervised than it actually is. This experiment suggests it isn't supervised much at all. Hedgie🤗 nature.com/articles/d4158…

Covid Caution - BA.3.2, XFG, LF.7, LP.8.1
Reminder that Dr. Fauci said to have COVID under any kind of control we would need to have less than 10k infections daily. Our “low” now is 200-300k daily. Nearly on par with what we used to consider “high” and trigger enforced masking and distancing. It’s not over.
