This creates absolute minefields for anyone who is a member of an underrepresented group: racism, sexism, and bigotry that you never even know about can absolutely tank your career. All it takes is for an influential senior person to say "I don't think they're very good" or "they're not serious."

One of the most harrowing things about academia, when you're a grad student, is how vulnerable you are to how you're perceived by more senior researchers. Your career advancement depends on confidential letters of reference & private discussions amongst faculty. You have no information or control.

"Alzheimer’s Protein Detected in Long COVID Patients" "Patients with neurocognitive difficulties post COVID-19 infection displayed a significant increase in their blood plasma of a crucial protein linked to neurodegenerative diseases and found in many Alzheimer’s patients."
This image features an article header from Respiratory Therapy (RT) dated January 14, 2026, titled "Alzheimer's Protein Detected in Long COVID Patients."
Below the headline is a large, vibrant microscopic image showing a large, textured purple spherical cell structure covered in tiny, teal-coloured viral particles (resembling coronaviruses).
The bottom half of the image lists RT's Three Key Takeaways:
1.	Elevated tau after Long COVID: Individuals with neurological post-acute sequelae of COVID-19 (N-PASC) showed a 59% increase in plasma pTau-181, a biomarker linked to neurogeneration and Alzheimer's disease, compared to pre-COVID levels and matched controls.
2.	Duration matters: Tau elevations were greatest in those with neurocognitive symptoms lasting longer than 1.5 years, suggesting prolonged Long COVID symptoms may be associated with worsening or persistent neurological injury over time.
3.	Implications and caution: While findings raise concern about increased risk for later neurodegenerative disease, researchers stress that further studies and broader population samples are needed to determine if elevated blood tau reflects progressive brain pathology.

A previously healthy 14-year-old boy was given amoxicillin for suspected middle ear infection. He later developed MIS-C, a rare but serious inflammatory condition linked to COVID-19. MIS-C can follow an asymptomatic COVID infection, usually appearing 2–6 weeks after infection. archive.md/SD4Gq
A newspaper article screenshot from The Philadelphia Inquirer titled, "Why was this previously healthy 14-year-old so sick? | Medical Mystery." The subheadline reads: "What started as a suspected middle ear infection was quickly found to be a much more serious issue related to COVID-19. Quick response is key."
The center photo shows a close-up of a healthcare worker's hands in blue gloves. One hand holds a small vaccine vial upside down, while the other inserts a syringe to draw a dose. The caption reads: "A nurse prepares a doze [sic] of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine during a vaccination drive. (Emily Kask/The New York Times)."
The article byline credits Jordan Preiss and Hayley Goldner, For The Inquirer, and notes a publication date of Aug. 30, 2026, 6:01 a.m. ET.
