I've studied cancer and Alzheimer's and although cancer also tears families apart, losing your sense of self and your bonds with loved ones, feels like a fate worse than. Even though drugs removing Aβ plaques have disappointed, we hold out hope for an effective treatment for this terrible disease.💜

You won't believe this. My team and I make this show called SciShow that works hard to be rigorous and accurate while also being appealing and entertaining. We reach a LOT of people every year with episodes about crabs and neutrinos and gender and cancer and vaccines. It's great, I love it.

Felons should be able to run for and win the US presidency. They should also be allowed to vote. 🇺🇲 How do we live in a country that allows the first but not the second? Should they be allowed to help choose the fate of the country, or shouldn't they?

The CDC has confirmed the first case of severe human H5N1 in the US, the case in Louisiana. Prelim sequencing says its genotype D1.1, which IS the genotype seen in the Canadian teen and NOT the one seen in cattle and other US human cases (B3.13). Exposure thought to be wild bird/backyard flock. 🧪

During my post-doc, I had an opportunity to do some TEM imaging. I was specifically looking at mitochondrial biogenesis & it really didn't amount to anything concrete but I do like the pictures. This particular picture is of a cortical neuron and a zoomed in picture of the cell body end of the axon.
