Lenacapavir did so well at preventing HIV infection that it hit the threshold where the only ethical thing to do was stop the randomized trial and immediately offer it to literally every participant. That's huge news. www.npr.org/sections/goa...

Worth remembering that Trump tried to overturn the ACA without a replacement, which could have brought back lifetime caps and revoked coverage for pre-existing conditions. In other words, if he'd had his way, many more Americans could have gone bankrupt and died.

Yeah for sure, just noting the similarities when hiking (random huge boulders) and the shoreline of Lake Champlain. Champlain was formed during Pleistocene, at any rate

Unrelated to all of this, we were in New England a few weeks ago and it was fascinating to see how geologically similar many of the formations in northern NH, VT are to Boundary Waters, etc.

Ahh interesting, I truly thought it was because the uranium got into the limestone as the seas came and went during glacial periods.

I once saw a post from a mommy group where this woman said she tested her kids' bike helmets but banging them on the ground repeatedly and the whole grouo was like, "Ooooh noooo" and I think about that a lot.

The uranium decays, creating radium and then radon. Limestone is very porous, so ground water infiltration into the bedrock helps transport the radon to the surface. And then most homes in the Midwest have basements, so it collects there.

My general understanding is that glacial advance and retreat in the upper Midwest, which happened several times, gradually left behind uranium-rich mineral deposits, which were then folded in to the sediment of the inland sea, which eventually became limestone.

we are now on the *fourth* distinct mode of ACE2 binding in coronaviruses, this time from a distinct clade of merbecovirus. incredibly, not only does it not overlap the sarbecovirus, NL63 *or* NeoCoV/PDF-2180 sites, it's *50Å away on the ACE2 extracellular domain*: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Just realized that I have completely forgotten to tell anyone that I'm teaching a class this September on the deep sea.

It's such a fun class! It's 4 weeks of exploring the ecosystem that accounts for 95% of earth's livable space.

Everyone who supports @SkypeScientist, I'd have gotten a desk job years ago without you all, just FYI. Been absolutely toasted without you.

If you wanna be one of those people, $5/month is wildly helpful when enough people do it!

It’s nice to see the local news celebrate a longtime educator. “As an aficionado of mathematics, Don Davis loves to teach math and win in math. So every Sunday, Davis, 79, a recently retired Lehigh University professor, brings together 60 teenagers for math team practice.”

Yeah with cotton I am sure it is washed/processed during manufacturing. I am sure there are varying levels of processing and it’s possible for some cotton that the chemicals used in this process contain trace amounts of heavy metal?

A friend of mine is from Bison, SD, and I went up to visit her family’s ranch a few times during college. The town has a whole-ass preserved sod house inside a pole barn and honestly it’s pretty impressive. The walls are THICC
