As the #NIH slashes funding for research into #Alzheimer's, #cancer, #COVID & #diseases that inflict pain & suffering, I'm heartbroken & furious. #Early-onset Alzheimer's took my father away from me &, more importantly, himself. Why would anyone in their right mind (right, the mind of the #fascist is almost incomprehensible) do such a thing? If nothing else, a selfish viewpt. says this is idiocy. These cuts are meant to bring us to our knees. Let's resist (& sue them into oblivion).

GumroadCyber Health: A Guide to Preventing Occupational Diseases in Cybersecurity ProfessionalsAs cybersecurity professionals, we find ourselves at the vanguard of defending critical systems and data. Our work is exacting, necessitating constant vigilance and adaptation to an ever-evolving digital landscape. However, the nature of our occupation also renders us a vulnerable group, susceptible to a range of health issues—both physical and mental —that can impede our career progression and, in some cases, result in its complete cessation.The extended periods spent in front of screens, the stress of managing high-pressure situations, and the constant mental focus required for the job take a considerable toll on our bodies and minds. Physical problems like eye strain, back pain, and repetitive stress injuries are common, but the mental challenges are often more insidious. Chronic stress, burnout, anxiety, and sleep deprivation have been demonstrated to have a detrimental effect on cognitive abilities, decision-making skills, and the ability to continue in a chosen profession.This guide has been developed with the participation of medical representatives and uses the most up-to-date evidence-based medicine articles, treatment protocols, and medical recommendations. The guide aims to shed light on the diseases that we, as cybersecurity specialists, are particularly prone to. The text will demonstrate how such health issues impact not only our daily well-being but also our career trajectories, and will share preventive measures to help us safeguard our health so we can continue to thrive in this vital field for years to come.Thank you for choosing Air Academy!

Sunsetting #openSNP - a retrospective by Bastian Greshake Tzovaras
In 2025, Bastian's "view is a lot more sober (and bleaker): Today it seems clear to me that the biggest impact on improving #health - even in the rich, allegedly ‘developed’ nations - would come from providing #food security and access to stable housing. And not from trying to find #genetic confounders of common #diseases that are a lot more rooted in those environmental & societal factors."

A conversation: someone describing all the ways in which #fibromyalgia changed their life, and someone else responding with a cheery "Have you tried giving up all #FODMAPs† yet?" My reply was as follows.

"A friend with fibromyalgia calls this the 'cucumber water' question, as in 'have you tried cucumber water?' Anyone with any #chronic #illness has most likely tried anything you're likely to suggest. Unless they ask you for ideas, sympathy and support are all you should offer."

That was as civil as I could possibly be, and probably more than they deserved. I think there's at least the *possibility* of getting through in this case, which is why I didn't immediately turn green and rip my shirt off.

But having observed in detail the effects of #fibro and other #chronic #diseases on the lives of people I love—

NO. DO NOT.

Some diseases of the dungeon: (1/3)

Knots: ropes, hair, chain can contract a tendency to tie themselves in ever more complex knots when left alone. In the advanced stage, all such materials wriggle free of the backpack and start entangling everything nearby.

The #schools throughout New Zealand will not reopen till Monday, 9th March, at the earliest. A decision to this effect was reached by Cabinet yesterday. Should the infantile paralysis outbreak necessitate another postponement of the opening, a further announcement will be made.

Malthus would be proud

Headline: NIH funding freeze stalls applications on $1.5 billion in medical research funds

Source: @NPR

From the article: "The National Institutes of Health has stopped considering new grant applications, delaying decisions about how to spend millions of dollars on research into #diseases ranging from heart disease and #cancer to #Alzheimer's and #allergies.

"The freeze occurred because the Trump administration has blocked the NIH from posting any new notices in the Federal Register, which is required before many federal meetings can be held.

"While that may seem arcane, the stoppage forced the agency to cancel meetings to review thousands of grant applications, according to two people familiar with the situation, one of whom was not authorized to speak publicly and the other who feared retribution."

There are a number of panicky Facebook posts, to which I will not link, going around about the "shocking" discovery that #mRNA #vaccines cross the #placental barrier. Which really shouldn't be a surprise to anyone, but #antivaxers gonna #antivax.

Okay, the discovery is real enough. Here's a direct link: sciencedirect.com/science/arti Click the "View PDF" button at the top, just above the journal title, to read the full article. Note that this is a pre-print version, meaning there may be some typos and such, but nothing that's likely to change the results.

The problem is ... well, there's no problem here! #Maternal #immunity, however acquired, is routinely passed on to #fetuses: we're all born with #immune systems primed to deal with whatever #diseases our mothers have encountered, and that's a *good thing*.

Of course antivaxers who freak out about any occurrence of the abbreviation "mRNA," like the same people often freak out about the word "pronoun" or the "cis-" and "trans-" prefixes, think this is somehow evil.

It's not. It means *fewer dead kids*. These people would literally rather kill their children than learn anything that contradicts their ideology.
