There was an Ehlers Danlos conference last week, top #EDS researchers discussed how hypermobile Ehlers Danlos and hypermobility spectrum disorder are the same The proof is in, the EDS Society will announce by end of 2026 But #MedTwitter #MedSky still fights with patients about this

Florida Mayo Clinic clocks #hEDS as 255 million people, or 1 in 32 people That’s way more common than the 2019 UK hEDS/HSD study finding 1 in 500 I think clinicians will be shocked by exactly how big of a bomb Covid/Long Covid are in unveiling EDS diagnoses, now and in future

This is happening very quickly and still ongoing. I just killed all my app passwords, will respawn one at a time.

This building also served as a backdrop for a filming location in “The Package” where Pullman briefly became East Berlin.

For the first time in 30 years, one of the extremely unusual Market Square buildings in Pullman is for sale. Four matching buildings were constructed a decade after the original Pullman factory town, initially housing guests of the Pullman Company during the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition.

Look at the women at NASA. They are the ones pushing the boundaries of science, solving problems most people can’t even understand, and carrying this country forward, while our politicians right now posture and stumble through talking points. And they are doing it all with joy.👇

Best and final offer on Day 1?

Speaker Mike Johnson: A timely reminder for you: If you tell me you can't do something because your religion forbids it -- That's fair enough. If you tell me I can't do something becausse your religion forbids it -- We have a problem.

I can't believe our dumb chud tradcath VP wasn't able to magically make peace with Iran in one day when they have no reason to trust us to hold up our end of the bargain wow I can't believe this I'm shocked by this I can't believed this has happened wow really I can't believe this wow really wow I

A researcher invented a disease called “bixonimania” and wrote clearly bogus articles on Medium and arXiv about it, referencing Starfleet Academy, Sideshow Bob, and the Fellowship of the Ring. Within months, major AI apps were diagnosing users with bixonimania. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Mayo fan here, hoping for-the-first-time-ever that something is AI.

“…after a barge, loaded with construction materials to build a school, got stuck …So the Bureau of Indian Affairs built the school there. At the time, elders knew the location wasn’t fit for permanent settlement…But they moved because the BIA required their children to attend its school.”

New 3D prints: There's a theorem in single variable calculus called "The only critical point in town": If a continuous function f: ℝ→ℝ has only one critical point and it is a local max/min, then it is a global max/min. This isn't true for functions of two variables. These prints illustrate a local

Taking bets at this time as to who will make it back first: Artemis II or the Alaska House of Representatives

Faculty at the University of Illinois Springfield are on strike because their administration is failing to invest in the core mission of higher education: teaching, learning and student success.

Interesting article about the Vasa, a ship commissioned by Sweden in the 1600 which capsized on its first trip out of port, within sight of the dignitaries assembled to see it off, due to conflicting building requirements. (Via MetaFilter.) psychsafety.com/the-vasa-dis...

I'm one of those trans women. I worked ground ops for Artemis I. I am torn between celebrating the success of my friends and peers and grieving how my dream of working for NASA was shattered by hateful assholes in Tallahassee

It's usually easy to figure out if an idea you are unfamiliar with is good or not, by checking to see who opposes it.

ESCAPING ASTRONAUTS RECAPTURED DARING GETAWAY CUT SHORT JUST PAST LUNAR ORBIT SPACE CRIMINALS BROUGHT BACK TO EARTH TO STAND TRIAL "We're all in this big blue boat together." SAYS NASA SPOX IN NEW STATEMENT. "No exceptions allowed---not on our watch!" MOST SUCCESSFUL BREAKOUT ATTEMPT SINCE 1972

The University of Michigan has been measuring consumer sentiment since 1952. We just got the first Iran-afflicted measure for April, and it's at the lowest level ever recorded.

What a great photo just added on the NASA Johnson Flickr page www.flickr.com/photos/nasa2...

People make fun of government agencies for still being on Flickr but photos produced by the government are copyright-free and I have yet to see a better photo-centric platform for delivering higher resolution photos that anyone can easily download.

As the Integrity crew splashed down TO THE MINUTE of their estimated arrival and hit the BULLSEYE, this is a reminder that Katherine Johnson was an absolute genius. My God. #NASA #ArtemisII

when in Albany, do as the Albanians do

Okay CTA. This is a good sign.

It was amazing watching Artemis II successfully return to earth. I realize we've had countless other successful landings but I was a school aged child during the Challenger disaster, so hyped up space missions have made me nervous ever since. It was glorious to see them land safely.

Read the thread!!

Ok I'm bored and want to procrastinate work so let's do a thread instead. Wanna hear a story? Alright then, story it is. So gather around, children, because now we're going to talk about the most important science book you've probably never heard of. Ready? Off we go, then.

But what about the other magnum opus we talked about, you ask? As a reward for all of- *gestures*- this, being yelled at by Newton while fighting for him, Halleys final "reward" was being told by the RS that they were fully broke and his salary would be paid in copies of books they had in stock

Anyway they chat, Halley poses the question and then it goes like this N: ellipse. H: why N(shrugs): Dunno Used to though. I worked it out H: WHAT N: yeah I wrote it but I lost it. H: lost?..THE FUCK YOU SAYING N: I got important shit going on, like turning iron to gold H: REWRITE IT NOW

How big a flop? Truly historic, because real life likes puns. The Royal Society was basically bankrupted, and could no longer afford to pay office holders. They did however have left a sizable consignment of copies. It appears they had overestimated the public interest in the antecedents of cod.

See,a History of Fishes was no ordinary book. Indeed, it was one of the most expensive books ever made, 2/3rd of which went towards the 187 individually carved copper plates in it. Published by the Royal Society, its calculated as being equivalent in cost to 11 yrs of wages for a skilled tradesman.

Every single one of the astronauts who went to the moon and back on Artemis II was educated at a public school. Thinking of the teachers who poured into Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen tonight. You helped send a kid to the moon! 🌕 💛

Buttigieg: "For the leader of this country to make a nakedly genocidal threat against another civilization as if the US was a death star that was going around blowing up civilizations, of course that is a new low ... the whole country is being judged just for tolerating that kind of thing at the WH"

Contrary to public perception a huge % of pregnant teenagers in the 1990s were impregnated by adult men. The younger they were, the larger the average age gap between mother and father was. Fixing teen pregnancy was in part a clampdown on statutory rape. That's what conservatives want to reverse.

The Lincoln Memorial also sits atop infill (in fact a great deal of SW DC is infill), and just the foundation of the Lincoln Memorial required a subfoundation comprising 122 steel rods drilled into bedrock, which took 15 months www.nps.gov/linc/learn/h...

So why the confusion? Because of its name and branding, some users assume GOV+ is a government service. It isn’t. The company positions itself as a paid platform that helps users complete paperwork. They charge a fee to help you fill out forms. Sketch AF.

Pixar apparently forgot KPop Demon Hunters just won the Oscar. Funny how they never think about how little girls see themselves in stories with men or boys as protagonists. Because it's usually a cover that *they* aren't interested in the story.

Apparently feldspars have just two different symmetry groups: For the monoclinic ones, the point group is the Klein four-group ℤ/2 × ℤ/2. And the lattice has double density, so there's an extra translational symmetry shifting by half a cell diagonal across one face, like here: (13/n)

I knew cohomology rocks. But it turns out cohomology helps classify rocks! Now, which of these various groups are symmetry groups of feldspars? (13/n)

Monoclinic crystals are more interesting. First, there are 3 choices of the point group P as a subgroup of O(3): • P = ℤ/2 (a single 2-fold rotation) • P = ℤ/2 (a single reflection) • P = ℤ/2 × ℤ/2 (generated by a 2-fold rotation and inversion: their product is a reflection). (10/n)

The symmetry group G of a crystal, called its 'space group', fits into an exact sequence 0 → ℤ³ → G → P → 1 where ℤ³ is the group of translational symmetries and P is the group of symmetries that fix a point, called the 'point group'. Yes, rocks secretly contain exact sequences. (8/n)

There are also other kinds of feldspar that separate out as they cool and harden, forming thin alternating layers of two substances. For example, feldspars with 2-16% anorthite and the rest albite do this - and these layers create the beauty of moonstone! (5/n)
