We found a contemporaneous #spike in excess #deaths and #infant deaths and a 40-week lag between the spike in deaths and a subsequent deficit in births.
A very interesting role for a cytidine deaminase: a single base RNA modification that converts a protease to a growth factor acting in regeneration in the C elegans nervous system.

'Here, we explore genomic signatures of environmental adaptation in house mice from South America across a latitudinal transect from equatorial Brazil (~3° S) to southern Argentina (~ 55° S) using exome capture data of wild-caught individuals.'

'A Spanish government report published eight years ago predicted that a changing climate could dramatically alter Spain’s tourist industry, eroding beaches, flooding transport systems, causing water shortages at the height of the season and forcing ski resorts to close down. The report forecast that, by 2080, tourism from northern Europe could fall by 20% from its 2004 level as rising temperatures induced people to holiday at home'

“Having junior and intermediate engineers on a team is a shockingly good inoculation against overengineering and premature complexity. They don’t yet know enough about a problem to imagine all the infinite edge cases that need to be solved for. They help keep things simple, which is one of the hardest things to do.”

Trump's inability to pronounce 'Kamala' suggests either senility unfit for presidential duty, a level of intelligence below the minimum to act as president or a immaturity unworthy of office. Which is it, Donald? (You may choose more than one.)
'Kamala' - sounds a lot like 'Pamela' - like 'Pamela Anderson'. It's not hard.

'A Europa perseguiu, matou ou deixou matar os judeus, e ajudou a despejá-los numa terra que não era dela porque não os queria. E desde 7 de Outubro tem deixado matar os palestinianos que estavam nessa terra. Como se este assunto não fosse um fruto dela. É um fruto dela.'

"More than 600 workers performing depopulation activities on poultry farms have been screened for symptoms. 103 had symptoms and were tested, and nine were positive for influenza A(H5). Other respiratory viruses were also detected among symptomatic workers. Symptom onset began within two-three days and peaked within five days after the start of depopulation. Among nine workers who tested positive for avian influenza A(H5), all reported mild symptoms ( conjunctivitis)"

I picked this one up by chance at a bookstore in Kyoto, Kobo Abe's The Ark Sakura. It opens with a grifter selling.. fake insects & flows into a story of a DIY dystopia, prominently featuring a toilet.
Recommended.

'In the contemporary world, it is expected that new diseases and older infectious menaces will spread almost instantly around the globe, as happened with Covid-19. But where was the inflection point? Elizabeth Blackmore, a doctoral student at Yale, and James O. Lloyd-Smith, an ecologist at the University of California, Los Angeles, set out to find the moment when viral transmission started to change.'
