Analizzate le cartelle cliniche di quasi 14 milioni di bambini inglesi: i problemi cardiaci sono 3 volte più comuni dopo l'infezione da COVID-19 rispetto a dopo la vaccinazione. Buona domenica a tutti voi amici! 🧪 www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

E molto umilmente dovremmo preservare ciò che la Terra ci ha generosamente messo a disposizione, senza pensare di essere immortali o onnipotenti. La nostra l'onnipotenza è soltanto immensa stupidità.

Using signals from a camera mounted on a pair of glasses, the implant emits bursts of electricity in order to bypass photoreceptor cells damaged by macular degeneration, the leading cause of vision loss in the elderly.

it's that time of the year when I have to email my department to ask what departmental committees I served on 3 yrs ago because I have to fill it out for a form requested by ... my department

A che servono le polemiche su chi ha tagliato di più o chi ha investito di meno? La (drammatica) realtà è che la #sanità è sempre meno pubblica e la #salute sempre meno tutelata E nonostante € 41,3 miliardi di spesa sia a carico dei cittadini, 5,8 milioni di persone rinunciano alle cure #SalviamoSSN

The plastic inside us: how microplastics may be reshaping our bodies and minds

La linea scura all'orizzonte non è nient'altro che smog. La situazione in Liguria è quasi buona rispetto a quella in Pianura, dove lo smog è talmente spesso che si vede persino dal Metop C, il cui sensore non è assolutamente adatto allo scopo.

Waning immunity. A significant Covid wave in England. No new variant. Thanks Prof Pagel for highlighting and contextualizing

Scientists are getting a better handle on the complexities of how immunity works.

Groundbreaking new tests reveal patterns in our immune systems that can signal underlying disease and tell us how well we might recover from our next cold. I got my results in a text message.

Un nuovo studio mostra l'assenza di una relazione causale tra l'assunzione di paracetamolo (Tylenol) in gravidanza e autismo nel bambino/a. La genetica gioca un ruolo dominante e, con i dati che abbiamo, il paracetamolo non porta a un aumento del rischio. 🧪

Autonomous robots, sequencers, and machine-learning algorithms are revolutionizing humanity’s ability to catalog Earth’s unstudied species, Marion Renault reports. But many of those species could be lost before we ever meet them:

Abbiamo un problema, grosso come il mondo. Le temperature superficiali dei mari, soprattutto quelli del nord emisfero, sono troppo alte. L'oceano Pacifico, il più esteso della Terra, nella sua parte boreale mostra anomalie positive estreme, così come la parte più settentrionale del Nord Atlantico.

Awful. More horrible science news "The NASA National Snow and Ice Data Center Distributed Active Archive Center (NSIDC DAAC) learned yesterday that the Department of Defense (DoD) will stop processing & delivering the Special Sensor Microwave Imager/Sounder (SSMIS) data no later than 30 June 2025."

We pored through more than 900 grants worth $2.6 billion that the Trump administration canceled at Harvard. “This is larger than any individual grant,” a researcher told us. “What we are losing is a future.” www.nytimes.com/interactive/... With @emmbadger.bsky.social and @ethansinger.bsky.social

The Trump administration said that it would open up 58 million acres of back country in national forests to road construction and development, removing protections that had been in place for a quarter century.
