Agreed with this. You are where we were in 2020. Except in our case, the worse version of Trump was Trump 2.0.

@standupforscience.bsky.social Looks like you don’t have many women or POC speaking at your rally in DC. You should do better.

Okay, but how do we even start? We need to make a ‘how to’ guide for people to run for office. A document that has very clear steps and easy to understand for all.

Angelique Corthals @drcorthals.bsky.social · Feb 19

Same! 😆 Never thought this would happen!

Just use the same precaution as you would when you handle raw chicken or raw fish. Wash your hands often or put disposable gloves on. Clean utensils thoroughly in hot water (or better yet in the dishwasher).

This month is the 13th anniversary of the publication i am most proud of where I proposed a new framework for Multiple Sclerosis and neurodegeneration as metabolic diseases. Since then, evidence have accumulated and new partnerships were made. Thank you @qrb.bsky.social #neurodegeneration #science
