Very excited to share that my second dissertation article has been published in 𝘍𝘦𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘴𝘵 𝘗𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘰𝘴𝘰𝘱𝘩𝘺 𝘘𝘶𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘭𝘺!
💫🥳🎉

It focuses on epistemic injustice and recognition in the context of endometriosis (endo), a gendered chronic illness affecting millions worldwide.

Male solidarity could drive them away from Trump.

Joe Rogan: "There’s two things that are insane... One is the targeting of migrant workers — not cartel members, not gang members, not drug dealers — just construction workers. Showing up at construction sites, raiding them. Gardeners. Like, really?"

Prominent influencers, including Theo Von, Joe Rogan, and Andrew Schulz, are starting to distance themselves from the president they helped propel to the White House.

How tick-borne encephalitis virus gains entry.

How tick-borne encephalitis virus gains entry - Nature Reviews Microbiology

This study reports the identification of cell-surface low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 8 (LRP8) as the crucial host factor that mediates tick-borne encephalitis virus entry and infection.

Very cool! Researchers from the US and Sweden used CRISPR technology to identify a crucial protein, LRP8, that the TBE virus requires to enter the central nervous system.

"LRP8's role as a TBEV receptor has implications for TBEV neuropathogenesis and the development of antiviral countermeasures."

LRP8 is a receptor for tick-borne encephalitis virus - PubMed

Tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV) causes tick-borne encephalitis (TBE), a severe and sometimes life-threatening disease characterized by viral invasion of the central nervous system with symptoms o...

Yes, the same Peter Thiel who suggested Greta Thunberg might be the antichrist.

Most of the notes from the Swedish Prime Minister's meeting with Palantir founder Peter Thiel are blacked out.

Guess data protection finally made the agenda. The rest: redacted.

"We derived the hypothesis that [11C]K-2 PET would be helpful in establishing a diagnostic framework for Cog-LC and that antagonists for cell surface AMPARs, such as perampanel, would be a potential therapeutic target."

Perampanel is an anti-epileptic medication.

New study reveals molecular basis of brain fog.

"The systemic increase in AMPARs provides a direct biological explanation for the cognitive symptoms, highlighting a target for potential treatments. For example, drugs that suppress AMPAR activity could be a viable approach to mitigate brain fog."

Even though many years have passed since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, the effects of infection with SARS-CoV-2 are not completely understood.

According to the City of Paris, in the last 10 years 150K trees have been planted & 45ha of parks created in the already hot city, all intended to not only improve quality-of-life today, but also help the city adapt to & manage summer heatwaves of 50℃ (122F) by 2050.

Just the start.

Common sense.

The government plans to revoke permanent residence permits, which not only reflects poor policy but also undermines predictability – a crucial aspect of the rule of law.

Excellent opinion piece:

Reading on. Spelman explores how philosophers' views of the body relate to their perspectives on women. Regarding Plato, she observes:

"His misogyny, then, is part of his somatophobia."
