The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Read that back.

When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

Nociceptor neurons suppress alveolar macrophage-induced Siglec-F+ neutrophil-mediated inflammation to protect against pulmonary fibrosis

Sensory innervation impacts several lung diseases, but whether it influences pulmonary fibrosis (PF) is unclear. Hiroki et al. report that depletion of TRPV1+ nociceptors leads to worsening of inflamm...

A life update: this wound up paying off. I'm still applying to several jobs that are hopefully careers, but I've got my survival needs covered by a job at the airport that I'm apparently pretty good at.

And instead of being in an office alone, which was driving me mad, I see 20k people a day.

There is a line around this building to get to the line entrance to wait to get into this job fair.

At the airport. For airport jobs.

What’s Trump on the Reich-ter scale?

A mock newspaper headline reads "BREAKING NEWS" from "ReallyGreatSite.com," dated Sunday, December 20, 2055. The main headline states "PRESIDENT TRUMP EXPECTED TO RENAME SAN ANDREAS FAULT TO JOE BIDENS FAULT." Below the headline is an image of a visible fault line in a landscape, showing a rugged, cracked terrain.

Honoured to have been invited to participate in this State of the Art session on #PulmonaryHypertension in #LungDisease at #ERSCongress #ERS2025
Wonderful welcome from Amsterdam and looking forward to today's sessions from Assembly 13 - Pulmonary Vascular Diseases!

The stage in the auditorium and a research physician (me!!) talking at the lectern with a slide on the background screen on conclusions to the presentation about treatment in pulmonary hypertension associated with lung disease.

Another view of the stage and the crowd in the auditorium

Look at this video. Take a long, hard look at this scene. Masked federal agents, armed like soldiers on a battlefield, a dozen of em, taking down & detaining one immigrant. On our streets. Take a long, hard look at this. And then pass it on to others. This is Trumpism. This must not be who we are.👇

A man was just chased and arrested outside of the Broadview ICE facility in Chicago. When legal observers from the National Lawyers Guild asked why, an agent threatened to arrest them too.

I wonder if AF-background patients in these trials are on reduced dose of drug. There is little data for efficacy of reduced dose of either one. No phase 3 RCT data anyways.
