I'm not sure if people realize that Twitter collapsing will mean no more articles in newspapers that are just a collection of people tweeting about a particular topic as though that's what everyone's saying.

Twitter becoming irrelevant is going to be so awesome you have no idea

The Haunting Brain Science of Long COVID:

Matt (24 years old): “I feel like I’m underwater. When you talk to me, I can hear you, but my doesn’t understand words. I can’t comprehend what you’re saying. I have no intellectual capacity to digest data.”

In this piece I wrote for STAT, I use science to raise awareness of a growing public health nightmare hiding in plain sight - Neuro-Long COVID. I unpack 20 relevant medical articles.

Check it out & stay safe.

And based on what's happened the past 48 hours on Twitter... think forward

Imagine - say - Washington Post revealed abuse of workers at a Tesla plant in Shanghai

What would happen?

Would it be dealt with fairly? Now I really doubt it. The reporter(s) would get blocked, and links to the story flagged.

Twitter is no longer a reliable and predictable place for news and the first take on the news.

Terrible news, Chethan Pandarinath posted on Twitter that Krishna Shenoy has died. He had long been battling cancer. A huge leader in the field, developing BCI and unraveling motor cortical dynamics, and as kind, generous, and gentle a soul as you could hope to meet.

anyone here stained brain tissue for glial markers like GFAP or Iba-1 and have a protocol they could share? The goal is to localize electrode tracks but any protocol for glia could work. TIA! #neuroscience #glia

Reminder: Raising the debt ceiling does not increase spending or the federal debt. It simply allows the government to pay bills it has already taken on. Know the truth.

The #brain floats in a sea of #fluid that cushions it against injury, supplies it with #nutrients and carries away waste. Disruptions to the normal ebb and flow of the fluid have been linked to #neurological conditions including #Alzheimer’s disease and #hydrocephalus, a disorder involving excess fluid around the brain.

Men, when you hit 45, get a #colonoscopy. It could very well save your life. My older brother died of related cancer in his mid 40s, leaving behind his wife & 3 kids, so I was recommended to get my 1st early. I do it every 2 years like clockwork (next one is this week).

Do it. #Cancer

Welcome to Mastodon, latest exiles from broke Twitter.

There’s no right or wrong way to use this place. My only advice is to follow as many people as you can. I hope you stay.

Exxon knew its product was poisoning the planet, but buried its own scientist’s conclusion

I don’t know how to explain it, but time works differently in airports. 5 minutes and 5 hours are somehow the same. Your flight is delayed but arrives early. The carpets are from 1980. The water machines are from 2045. It is always happy hour. You have always been in the airport.
