A new study co-led by Yale scientists reveals that antibodies from some long COVID patients attacked brain and nerve tissues, a finding that could point toward treatments. news.yale.edu/2026/05/28/yal…

Spoken like a pulmonologist and not someone who realizes vasculature is everywhere, and diseases of vasculature can affect multiple systems. Not to mention that things like SSPE exist. We are more than just air bags

When humans have nothing left to discover, what will they do? Is AI the equivalent of just skipping to the Answers section of the puzzle book? Will all literature become cliffs notes? We may eventually learn that the discovery process is as important as the destination

Ten years ago Tami, Roy, and I released a movie we made of antibiotic resistance evolving in real time. I thought maybe a couple thousand people tops would see it. I couldn't have imagined millions of views, and it being taught across levels worldwide

So @AnthropicAI did say it would cure all disease in 10 years, but I guess it didn't specify that it was going to do it by killing everyone lol No humans, no disease

Exciting opportunity at Yale 📢 We are seeking a Medical Director for the Yale New Haven Hospital Multi-Specialty Long COVID Care Center. Pls spread the word! Interested candidates should contact @LisaSandersMD. #LongCOVID #Medicine #InternalMedicine #PostAcuteInfectionSyndrome

I'll never forget actually seeing this unfold live on screen. I thought the event was a tragic accident until I saw the second strike.

AI is built on PREVIOUS knowledge. It can't necessarily predict improbable truths that have yet to be discovered

Fantastic summary of the issues around being a researcher in this field. They bring me much despair because everyone is trying to do something pure to benefit others but we fall short because we are human beings. People who are vitriolic are that way because they suffer

Gotta unsubscribe from all @Google @GeminiApp @YouTube products. They're trying to have it both ways. They had an opportunity to correct their earlier error, but if you zoom in, it says Lake America

Yet another myth collapses and joins Ethidium Bromide. Next one will be "having dedicated RNA bench and pipettes" journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128…

Just leaving this for all the leakers who said the furin cleavage site could have never gotten into SARS-CoV-2 spike unless a “gain of function” virologist put it there. Turns out nature is still the ultimate GOF virologist

I've known managers and PIs who employed the same strategy with their employees, and it's no surprise that in silico behavior matches that IRL: toxic backstabbing work environments

Dendritic translation and neuroproteasome-mediated degradation of endogenous tau revealed by STARFISH: nature.com/articles/s41593-0…

Social media posts containing misinformation evoke more moral outrage than posts with trustworthy information, and that outrage facilitates the spread of misinformation, according to a 2024 study in Science. The researchers also found that people are more likely to share outrage-evoking misinformation without reading it first. Learn more: scim.ag/4ezFm6t #SocialMediaDay

Today's mood

I know I sound like a broken record, but I'm so tired of this bullshit. The cell is nothing like this. The dimensions are all wrong -- a typical protein molecule is 3-5 nm, so ~5000 times smaller linearly than a typical 20 um eukaryotic cell, and one part in 100 billionth the volume. There's far too much empty space, the cytosol is packed with molecules. The collective wavelike motion is pure fantasy -- stochasticity dominates at the molecular level. I suspect scientists put together these animations to show to the layman how much we know, but to me it just points out how much we DON'T know, and doesn't even begin to convey the true complexity.

So I've turned to this manufacturer to get our chamber slides for cultured cells, but every time I place an order I just think of Gen Alpha brain rot ibidi.com/

Privileged to contribute to this effort on a novel vaccination strategy for herpes virus. My tiny part with Drs. Claire Laxton & Chara Koutsioumpa was exploring the notion that in previous vaccination regimens there may be residual latent HSV in the CNS w/ long term consequences

Ironic that the white house and @HHSGov are planning to axe the Center for Complementary and Integrative Health, which seems like it explores just the kind of things that #MAHA and @SecKennedy would get behind to improve Health through non-pharma means nccih.nih.gov/
