2/2 "we find that immune and metabolic pathways are more prominently linked to comorbidity in women, whereas extracellular matrix organization and signal transduction pathways play a larger role in men".

Had a fantastic time giving a philosophy of science talk yesterday at the Oeiras Valley Science Festival. Had not given one of those in a while. From Cybernetics to AGI, via expanded mind hypothesis, biosemiotics, systems bio, stigmergy, collective intelligence, and, yes, David Bowie and Burroughs.
