More stuff I’ve been telling y’all

Did it really take awarding the Nobel Prize for folks to realize the Rick Berman, GOP governors, and a slew of other naysayers are full of crap?   With their claims that changes in the minimum wage causes job losses.  Or, the extended unemployment benefits the US offered during the pandemic meant folks wouldn’t work.  (What THAT data demonstrated is that they wouldn’t work crummy jobs for dastardly low pay.)

This is NOT making you safe!!!!

I wrote this piece some 6 years ago.  And, given the fact that I just watched a CVS pharmacist manifest this dangerous behavior (and I told her why she stop forthwith), I realized that many of you may not recall- or ever read in the first place- about this danger.

Most of you know I am a technocrat.  The official definition is that a technocracy is a government where experts and professionals are appointed to administer governmental functions.  If we really ever expected  to “drain the swamp”, that’s what we’d really need.

This new piece of scientific data may be very traumatic for parents. Or, maybe these results are not translatable from mice to humans, so it’s just a tidbit to share. To be honest, the underlying facts are  not totally new- because other research has indicated that dysfunctional immune responses and microbiome (the bacterial population in the gut) composition are related to ASD (autism spectrum disorders).

Over and Over and Over Again

It’s that time of year.  The granting of the MacArthur awards and the Nobel Prizes.  Which included 3 guys who were awarded the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine for advancing the state of the art when it comes to circadian rhythms.  And, the awardees didn’t devote their work solely to humans, but animals and plants, as well.  (Amazingly, circadian rhythms affect disease susceptibility, growth rates- even the size of fruits that are grown.)

Do you see the light?

Sometimes, even your hoped for results astound you. Like, Dr. Hannah Iaccarino (MIT) found when she zapped a mouse with induced (but initial stages of) Alzheimer’s disease. The light caused brain wave induction (roughly 40 oscillations per second [Hz]). And, then she found that the toxic protein levels of amyloids halved.
