You know, if our study of #COVID19 causes us to realize many other viruses also damage our heart, that is an argument for MORE masking, not less. The reaction shouldn't be, “I guess COVID risks are like other viruses,” but “if all viruses are dangerous to our hearts, we need more caution and protection.”
“Growing evidence supports the involvement of other viral infections in the development of arrhythmia.”

Cardiac arrhythmias in viral infections - Journal of Interventional Cardiac Electrophysiology
Background The current COVID-19 pandemic has led to many studies examining its arrhythmogenic effects. However, there are many other viruses that are capable of inducing arrhythmias that have not received as much attention.SpringerLink
#Zooplankton have amazing abilities to sense their environment. The setae on long extended antennae have mechanoreceptors & chemosensors (aesthetascs). #Copepods can smell and track a pheromone plume of many body lengths, or detect particular prey items. Very sophisticated behavior for this ecologically important uncharismatic microfauna.
This is an excellent review article on the chemical ecology of copepods. Highly recommended read. 📖

Underwater turbulence revealed as a key factor in climate change
Much of the heat and carbon produced by humans is absorbed by the ocean. New research has shed light on the role that underwater waves play in moving that heat and carbon around our oceans, an important factor in predicting climate change.Paul McClure (New Atlas)

While I like the products JSAUX make, because everything they've sent me has worked well, they're repeating the same mistakes they made with me.
After I pointed out problems, they cut me off, now they're doing the same to Taki but worse. I've emailed them for a chat.
I'm hoping we can find a resolution on this, so that JSAUX can do better, but it's not a good look again.

My only humble suggestion is that it needs more tardigrades aka "water bears."
Tardigrades have survived every mass #extinction on Earth since they evolved about a 1/2 billion years ago. There are ~1,300 known species. And millions of years from now, they won’t even notice we’re gone. #SharedPlanet

No matter how good I get at something like #BeatSaber, I don't think my brain will ever not break at the idea of tapping out a polyrhythm (ref: youtu.be/Ez8Q68h9i4M?t=413) Like... two rhythms, potentially sustained? keeping count?? looking cool and calm??? Nah.

When I think of the defining musical genre of my childhood, it's the radio-genre we called "smooth jazz", which cast the widest of nets from Sade and Everything But the Girl to Peter White and (of course) Kenny G.
Finding my way back towards jazzy stuff I like in recent years is fun! I've sat through some jazz performances that were "experimental" enough that I didn't know what to *do* during the interminable solos, but I've also listened to SMV's Thunder album a million times.
