Lithium has an essential role in the brain and is deficient early in Alzheimer’s disease, which can be recapitulated in mice and treated with a novel lithium salt that restores the physiological level, according to a paper in Nature. go.nature.com/47mxemu #medsky 🧪

Just found this quote from 1791. As true today as ever.

Firing the BLS Commissioner — the wonk in charge of the statisticians who track economic reality — is an authoritarian four alarm fire.

It will also backfire: You can't bend economic reality, but you can break the trust of markets. And biased data yields worse policy.

I was 6 when the Corporation for Public Broadcasting was founded in 1967, so my whole conscious life has been enriched by its work.
So many thanks to the good and creative people who worked hard to try and educate and enlighten us all.

This IEA graphic shows how global sales of electric vehicles & improved efficiency of combustion vehicles (eg hybrids) is slashing growth in global oil demand. Use in road transport has peaked & likely to soon post annual declines. Aviation & petro-chemical feedstocks only drivers of growth now.🔌💡🔌🚗

Cells as living drugs is a big part of future medical approaches.
There's been so much about engineering T cells (CAR-T) for treatment of cancer and autoimmune diseases. But engineering macrophages (CAR-M) is next up for blocking inflammation.

Russia’s leaders have said nothing about peace. They have made a list of demands on the US, the fulfillment of which allows them to broaden the war against Ukraine. And the US simply fulfills all of these Russian demands without question. That is only a peace process in the Orwellian sense.

Elon, I hate to break it to you but you aren’t my boss. I answer to the people of Minnesota.

But since you bring it up, I spent last week fighting to stop tax breaks for billionaires like you, paid for by defunding health care for moms and babies

The best messaging is to state what everyone knows to be the truth in the simplest and clearest way possible.

So it’s hard to imagine more effective messaging than this.
Brianna Keilar: Do you think that calling Elon Musk a dick is effective messaging?

Congressman Robert Garcia: Well, he is a dick.
