Basic researcher on viruses and innate immunity. Professor and Chair JLU Giessen Opinions are my own

Die gleiche Truppe wurde während der Pandemie nicht müde, sich lautstark über die Einschränkung ihrer Grundrechte zu beschweren
„Demokratie und Freiheit sind unvereinbar“, sagt der Milliardär – und die WELT-Intelligenzija nickt ehrfürchtig: endlich Denken außerhalb der Komfortzone! Besonders mutig, wenn ein Milliardär entdeckt, dass ihn demokratische Mehrheiten bei der Ausübung seiner Freiheit stören. Anna Schneider hat mich übrigens geblockt. Offenbar endet das furchtlose Denken außerhalb der Komfortzone exakt dort, wo jemand widerspricht. Oligarchische Selbstermächtigung als rebellisches Denken verkaufen, Kritik wegblocken: Libertarismus als Safe Space.

Maybe with 5 cups a day you are simply trembling away all that fat
People who drank more coffee had less body fat, less visceral fat, and more lean mass than less-frequent or non-drinkers. The biggest benefit was seen at 5 or more cups per day. And for men, every extra cup per day was associated with a ~10 ng/dL higher total testosterone. Higher coffee intake was also associated with better glucose and insulin regulation in men. This was an observational study, but mechanistic and experimental evidence actually supports coffee's benefits on metabolic and hormonal health. I'm willing to believe there's a real link here rather than draw a conclusion such as "coffee drinkers live healthier lives in general."

Exposure to subtoxic doses of a widely used per- and polyfluoroalkyl substance (PFAS) suppresses innate antiviral immune responses. The study suggests that environmental exposure to PFAS comes with public health risks. In PNAS: ow.ly/OSMM50ZR6jo

Bhutan hat die durch Hundebisse übertragene Tollwut ausgerottet, v.a. durch die Massenimpfung von Hunden und freien Zugang zur Nachsorge für Menschen nach einem Biss. 🐶🐶🐶 Es gibt zu viele negative News, deswegen poste ich jeden Tag eine #guteNewsdesTages.

Why doesn‘t he just insist it is named after his Health Secretary? Would be win-win
Trump says the Kennedy Center will close and be torn down unless his name is added, claiming he deserves recognition for maintaining and subsidizing it. (The center reported a surplus in fiscal 2024, before Trump took control.)

Für die wo kein Deutsch können
If you want to speak better German than many Germans (an hommage @GermanSimply_ ) 1. Distinguish properly between „wie“ (comparing equality) and „als“ (comparing difference): „(so) groß wie“, „schneller als“. 2. Avoid Denglish expressions (which ar quite common sadly), do not 1/
