Sequencing-Based #Detection of Avian #Influenza #H5N1 Virus in #Wastewater in 10 #Cities, N Engl J Med.: nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJM

Widespread detection of flu H5N1 in wastewater from 10 US cities is troubling. Although exact origin of signal is currently unknown, lack of clinical burden along with genomic information suggests multiple animal sources. Wastewater monitoring should be considered as a sentinel surveillance tool that augments our detection of evolutionary #adaptations of concern.

Did I miss anything? Bikes are really cool as people can relatively easily prototype and hack stuff together on their own to meet their needs.

People can whip up their own #Adaptations and get out riding pretty easily, so this isn't intended to be definitive.

There are also so many small ways to make your bike work for you, too.

I've also already received some useful feedback, and thanks - this will get refined, and I'm happy to learn more!

#WR_Ashby in his "Design for a Brain" writes about the importance of the #preservation of #adaptations. Following his ideas I've made this little experiment using a LibreOffice Calc spreadsheet that shows three different scenarios:

When re-tossing all of the 10 coins every time like in the first case there is no preservation of "1s" whatsoever. Every new toss starts from scratch.

In the second case, each coin is tossed separately until it shows "1" when the tosser moves on tossing the next coin until all 10 show "1" which usually happens around the 10th tossing.

In case #3 only the remaining "0s" of the previous toss are re-thrown until all coins show a "1" which is by far the most efficient way of preservation, needing less than half of the time and ending in about 4 tosses.

And... also for folks interested in #SFF:

My review of China's adaptation of Three-Body Problem is now up at @StrangeHorizons. Here, I talk about the benefit of watching this production to deepen our understanding, if nothing else, of the ongoing ideological challenges that confront our world as it strives to unite against common crises.

There are many ways to tell a story - and the way we choose tells a story, too.

As we prepare for the arrival of #DunePartTwo, I'd like to say a few words about the several #liveaction #adaptations

First, I just don't get the love for #Dune1984. It's so damn weird.

Before #DunePartOne, my favorite adaptations were the two #SciFiChannel #TV #movie series, #FrankHerbert's #Dune and #ChildrenofDune. CoD is my favorite between the two, tbh, and has a moving #soundtrack despite terrible #CGI.

Of course, #Dune 2021 blew me outta the water and I'm excited to see Part 2.
