What a great example of what they were talking about!

KitKat is also hershey's in the US.

I believe he's one of the very many YouTubers who's a Mormon.

Scary that asking for a citation is considered contempting by some. That doesn't back up what the other person said at all though. There's a huge difference between saying a virus causes AD and saying that infections worsen cognitive decline in AD. I understand not everyone is experienced in reading scientific literature, but it's important to recognize that and not spread misinformation if you don't understand what is being described. The closest this paper gets is to connecting two things: infections cause inflammation and inflammation contributes to AD. Both of these things have already been known for a long time. This does not mean AD is a result of a virus or viral infections.

I started mine in 2023. I got one experiment run and I probably won't get to run another. My dissertation will likely be made up of just running different analyses with the existing data I have. So glad we chose a government more based on caring about which genitals were in which genital restricted sports than caring about funding things like my research on Alzheimer's.

Well reading that first result, have you even read it? It said it may effect a rare subtype and could accelerate what we already know is happening. Not cause it.

Helps to actually read it ;)

Separately, there is supposedly some evidence now that Alzheimer's is caused by a virus, or by a history of viral infections.

You got a citation for that?

As a researcher in the field, this article doesn't really give a good explanation of what's going on here. Seems to say he just doubted the cause but didn't provide any other ideas. Researchers right now are thinking the amyloid beta still plays a major part, the issue is free floating amyloid beta, not the plaques. The plaques therefore would just be another symptom of this free floating amyloid beta. Also, it's surprisingly similar to diabetes, just localized in the brain. So don't be overweight.

Everyone acts like we collectively only realized he was an idiot like 2 years ago. I remember when I first heard about him in college around 2016 I didn't like him even then. His ego was clearly apparent and his "progressive persona" was obviously a persona.

Papa V Perpetua is certainly the most fitting announcement here!

They are sideview mirrors. Most people do not have them where they should be and instead have three mirrors pointing to the rear, showing basically the same thing. Why turn your head away from the front when a quick look to the mirror is safer?

Yep. And yep.

People probably said similar at the fall of every empire throughout history. People will endure and build anew. Life finds a way.

Yeah I've never understood this idea that all fetuses start as female. It's just scientifically incorrect.

I have been arguing this for years now and all I get is the "bUt tHeY're BEtTeR oFf sO ThEy arE prIviLeGeD"

OK, and look at all the people you're calling "privileged" who don't agree with you because of your characterization of them. If changing the word gets them on your side isn't that worth it?

Can you link what you're talking about?

Because habits have nothing to do with short term memory. It's me. I'm the neuroscientist.

That was certainly something...

What happened exactly?

We throw an annual flannel party in fall because we found a plaid shirt for our dog.
