I won't celebrate anyone's death, even if they are horrible people- and his won't be a celebration like the Wicked Witch of the West. No, because his monkeys esp Vance) and real-life great and powerful Oz (i.e. Thiel) are going to shake things up reaaaallly bad. That's the plan. Watch.

Things I want to fight for as a scientist... 1. A better healthcare system 2. Acceptance of preventative and integrative care (wellness approach) 3. Better access to healthcare for all 4. Diminished stigmas around mental health 5. Patients to be HEARD 6. Encouragement of self-care from a young age

I study neuroscience but I'm fascinated with the whole body. I just learned that, when you're born, your appendix is right under your navel but as the intestines grow, it shift to the lower right. When people have appendicitis, the brain remembers the original location so the pain is felt there!

He's not owner but he's definitely invested in it. Along with someone else who we need to watch out for: Peter Thiel. Stop using PayPal/Venmo.

He won't. He'll buy (take) their land. He literally wants to own the world. Not just Greenland.

PSA that no matter what ridiculous, unscientific “research” comes out in the next year or two about vaccines, a plethora of rigorous, reproducible studies have demonstrated safety and efficacy of vaccines with ZERO link to autism. Autism is largely (if not entirely) genetic. Tell your friends.

A novel fMRI study in Science shows that babies as young as 12 months old can encode memories. The findings suggest that infantile amnesia is more likely caused by memory retrieval failures rather than an inability to form memories in the first place. scim.ag/422LFb9

Humans lack memories for specific events from the first few years of life. We investigated the mechanistic basis of this infantile amnesia by scanning the brains of awake infants with functional magne...

I think we should take Elon's 'x' back and apply it to those flagged research terms as such: Fxmale Prxgnant Fxtus Trxns Gxndxr Xessible Incusivx Divxrsity... (And so on) I mean if science already has its own language (mainly stemming from Latin), why not put a modern spin on it?

I'm in my 40's so back when they did immunizations in late 70's early 80's, the "records" were handwritten in a baby book. Got the notification that I should probably get an MMR titer, so I'm going in tomorrow. 🤞🏼

Can I ask a really serious question that addresses the elephant in the room? Why isn't the Supreme Court stepping in more to uphold the constitution with his recklessness? Why is it just federal judges? This isn't right.
