All of the crises we are dealing with right now are the product of mis/disinformation spread by parties for profit.

Coming across this just now, but watching this fusion tech advance is incredibly exciting. Seems like Zap is working with all the right partners to make this possible.

[Zap Energy @Zap_Energy]

A new publication, led by our collaborators at @Livermore_Lab, details the first measurements of plasma pressure profiles inside of #FuZE. This is the 3rd in a series of papers that highlight gold-standard Thomson scattering data. Each provides insights that show increasing performance for SFS Z-pinches, and in doing so bring us closer to a platform for fusion energy that's practical and commercially appealing. Here's a nice writeup from LLNL:

@sportswithjohn @ClassicTetris Whaaaaaat. That... is amazing.

[Dr. Kiki Sanford @drkiki]

@PeterHotez What a great picture. Thanks to all of you for doing the hard work.

[Dr. Kiki Sanford @drkiki]

@AEDerocher @CANTERRADuane So, they just kill because they can. How strange. I'd love to know if they ever return for this kind of prey or if it's a gift for the ecosystem.

@martinmbauer I saw it in person once upon a time. A highlight in life to be sure.

[Dr. Kiki Sanford @drkiki]

@NASAJPL @NASAVoyager Step by step. You all are amazing.

[Dr. Kiki Sanford @drkiki]

@NASAVoyager Yayyyyyyyyy! So glad you're chatting again.

This is fascinating. A general antibiotic having an anti-viral impact means it mobilizes the immune system, not doing the anti-viral work itself. But, does anyone else think a qtip & some neosporin in the nose before the rave is a better idea every minute?

[Eric Topol @EricTopol]

Repurposed: Intranasal administration of neomycin, an antibiotic, led to protection in mouse and hamster models vs Covid, and (neosporin) raised interferon expression in humans

@speakerjohnash About time! @drkiki and I spent hours on this exact topic the other day and I want you in on our "save science communication" hustle

@EricTopol @NatMentHealth At first glimpse, it seemed you were saying MRIs were involved in brain aging & knee pain. But, understandably, MRIs allowed detection that hippocampal glial activity seems linked to osteoarthritis. If one could be repaired, would the other improve? We know staying active is good

@MelMitchell1 I've seen several science reporters discussing the overuse of the AI acronym when most often the process underlying the platform is a predictive probability engine based on LLM or NLM. It's interesting to consider de-escalating fear about 'AI' thru the use of different terms.

[Dr. Kiki Sanford @drkiki]

@DrGlitterbear I only got to know you after that part of your life. I'm SO glad I was able to get to meet you when you were considering UCDavis. I immediately wanted to spend time with & know you more deeply. Your sharing is inspiring & needed. Thank u for taking on that role. It's not easy.

[Dr. Kiki Sanford @drkiki]

@Coach_Crash Non-bot reply! 👋🏻

[Dr. Kiki Sanford @drkiki]

How is everyone here? It's been a while, and I'd love to find out if you all are just bots posting random supposed bitcoin links or if there are are still real people here. I do miss my Twitter friends.

@GaryMarcus Why don't we divide that amount between the population of the planet? Provide people with housing, feed the starving, educate for free, update our polluting energy infrastructure?
