I like seeing preprints as "works in progress”. Here the authors appeal to any readers who might be able to contribute to their study.

#FDA Proposes Removing Ineffective Nasal #Decongestant From Stores
It was added to cold and flu remedies in 90s when another ingredient went behind counter over illicit meth lab concerns. Experts show #phenylephrine, an ingredient of products like Tylenol, Mucinex and Benadryl, did not work as a decongestant. FDA emphasized the ingredient was not considered unsafe. This is one step closer to getting products containing it pulled from store shelves.

I definitely have a bias as a writer and a former English teacher: Replacing ignorance with pretention isn't a good trade.

Just learning that you don't have to like all art is enough. (That said, there's very little art that I don't like. What I don't like, I still generally appreciate for calling my attention to something.)

@Jay Bryant I know what you are saying! I actually approve of "I didn't understand any of it" and even "I hated it". Those are honest personal responses. The translations into art gobbledegook are hilarious, but happen far too often in the art world. The reviews that make me !

Last month, I had the privilege of a live conversation with the artist and writer Jenny Odell in Poughkeepsie, New York. It was a DELIGHT.

I just noticed that the video is now up here: youtube.com/watch?v=lQ8USTRSJV…

I'm extracting DNA from the legs of spiders which were euthanized by freezing in a household freezer. In almost every spider, the DNA shows a banding pattern associated with apoptosis. Why would there be so much programed cell death in the legs of spiders? Had it already happened naturally? Was it induced during the freezing process? I do not see this happening in other organisms using the same extraction procedure.

Each lane is DNA extracted from a different spider.

Because I need a dose of humour. This was sent to me by a friend.


Happy birthday to #physicist Lise Meitner (1878-1968) who explained #nuclear #fission. She worked with chemists Hahn & Straßmann in 30s Berlin, investigating whether there were any stable elements beyond uranium. They discovered bombarding nucleus of U-235 with neutrons actually triggered it to fission, or break, into 2 nuclei of roughly half the size & some free neutrons! Hahn’s chemistry lead to startling discovery of barium,🧵

Please read far enough to see the counter protests.

Two demonstrators with provocative signs drew a counter-protest of hundreds of students at the Stallions.

The demonstrators arrived before 12:20 p.m. and quickly had a crowd of at least 100 students surrounding them in opposition. The two demonstrators were with the Official Street Preachers, a news outlet that covers events “from a Christian perspective.” There were two signs the demonstrators held – one said “Homo sex is sin” the other said “Women are property” on the front and “Types of Property: Women, Slaves, Animals, Cars, Land etc.” on the back.

Incel assholes. I'm glad people stood up to them.


Big article reviewing Earth-Life co-evolution in the Precambrian.

"The interaction of life and Earth was and is reciprocal, hence the term biogeodynamics...." True.

Re: this:

I’m probably preaching to the choir here, but now is a very important time for Puerto Ricans to recognize the privilege we have in the larger LatAm community, especially when we live in the mainland, and turn that awareness not into guilt or shame or anger about anyone trying to make you feel bad, but into pure unfiltered solidarity with all other vulnerable LatAm “cousins” who have to struggle more than we do with things like language and citizenship and all the things that stuff entails.

I look forward to my community showing up for each other in the coming years, and to show up for our cousins.

Maybe stay in the next couple of months by making some coquito and connecting with your LatAm neighbors. You know we love making coquito for others. #PuertoRico
