'She also points out that some viruses such as Ebola and Zika don’t have a known latent phase, yet “we know people where, six months after recovery, you get transmission of #Zika, or #Ebola, or reactivation of problems . . . That means that full length RNA is there and can resume production.”

Where do viruses hide in the human body?
The question of how SARS-CoV-2 persists in the body has refocused scientists on the question of where viruses persist in humans more generally.The BMJ

Con flu, con crud, and COVID-19: the time for #HealthAndSafety policies is _yesterday_
It's been difficult to prepare for. It's emotional subject matter as someone who has lost a brother to COVID-19, and still has a lot to lose. But it's so important. We need to do better as community and event organizers.
If our events have a Code of Conduct but not a Health and Safety policy, we've missed the point.
#OTD in 2011, NASA's Dawn spacecraft entered Vesta's orbit, studying the asteroid's geology and composition. Dawn revealed that Vesta is actually a protoplanet surviving from the earliest days of the solar system!

While we are still trying to find ways to clean up problems like oil spills in the ocean, microorganisms in the seas have their own insights to impart.
Oil rich soil from the Guaymas Basin has provided German scientists understanding of a mechanism by which archaea in the Alkanophaga break down alkane molecules and thus degrade petroleum through oxidation.

It's complicated: I put the slides up in February. Then I started writing the annotated "Web Page Edition" a month later and did several editing passes. All of it has been public, so it was possible to read it at any of the various stages of development.
The original slides contained about 3,500 words. This thing is 33,200 words. 🤯

I Was Wrong About Mastodon
The crucial mistake of social media was trying to force people with wildly incompatible views to co-exist in the same space. In real-life, I can choose who I associate with. Now, I’m most certainly not looking for an echo chamber. I need my views to be questioned and debated, but it must be by people capable of civil discourse. We should discuss, we should reassess, we should admit when we’re wrong.
