I've been wondering: will future historians have more public records to go through, or less? It's fascinating to read through letters and telegraphs of Albert Einstein, yet I wonder whether our digitized world will leave the same trace. While on the one hand public figures share a lot more personal information on the internet, which will always be preserved through articles, replies, screenshots etc., chat conversations, which somewhat replace letters, are encrypted, often with disappearing …

Hantaviruses, which belong to the Bunyavirales order, replicate and transcribe their genome in the cytoplasm of infected cells. So Hantavirus already won’t enter the nucleus, and Ivermectin, an anti-parasite substance, won’t do much of anything to a virus.
“…orthomyxoviruses replicate and transcribe their genome within the cell nucleus, whereas bunyavirus genome replication and transcription occur in the cytoplasm.”

screenshot of a post by Mary Talley Bowden MD 

Red letters: False Information

Hantavirus is a RNA virus, and ivermectin should work against it. 

Ivermectin blocks RNA viruses from entering the nucleus, inhibits viral replication, disrupts integrity of the viral membrane and can prevent viral replication.

A part of the Atlantic Ocean, just south of Greenland and Iceland, has been cooling off while the rest of the world gets hotter.
This enigmatic patch is often referred to as the "cold blob" and scientists have been trying to figure out the mechanisms behind its cooling.
While some studies have blamed increased heat loss at the sea surface,
others suggest weaker currents are bringing less heat to the area.

For #TerryPratchettDay I want to share one of my favourite quotes. There are many, but this one just resonates with me as a writer. Sir Terry Pratchett's work is about how important stories are to humans and as a storyteller who grew up loving his books, unsurprisingly I feel the same way. He was the first celebrity where I was truly gutted when he died. Much love to everyone who w…

A quote from Terry Pratchett's book "Hogfather" in white letters against a dark blue background:
"Take the universe and grind it down to the finest powder and sieve it through the finest sieve and then show me one atom of justice, one molecule of mercy. And yet...
You need to believe in things that aren't true. How else can they become?"

One useful way to think about today's chatbots is that they function more like secretaries than physicians.
They are remarkably effective at organising information, summarising text, and structuring complex documents.
These are the kinds of tasks where language models are already proving useful within healthcare systems,
for example in drafting clinical notes, summarising patient records, or generating referral letters
The promise of AI in medicine remains real, …

I enjoyed a really fun writing workshop with @… and @sgl_in_progress@instagram.com on the theme of female rage in contemporary and fantasy fiction. I am not a literary scholar, so the analyses by workshop hosts Lena and Simoné gave me greater insight into the differences of female rage in these two broad genres and I got a new book out of it too 📖
