Folks. We are playing with fire.
Bird flu is a very bad disease
Allowing it to spread unchecked among cows and increasingly people is a very bad idea
We need both @USDA and @CDCgov to take this seriously and act now

I’ll be monitoring my own LDL, ApoB and Lp(a) to see how I respond. For me, this is another example of how advances in biology are changing medicine. Twenty years ago, statins were among our most powerful tools for preventing cardiovascular disease
When Carey Price was drafted fifth overall in the 2005 #NHLDraft, his selection caught many by surprise.
More than 20 years later, there is no surprise that his incredible career has landed him in the @HockeyHallFame! ♥️
Carey Price a reçu sa bague du Temple de la renommée samedi à Toronto!

"It's so surreal. I still feel like a little kid every time I get to put on the gear. It's so special to play in this organization."
Jacob Fowler joined @sportsnetkyle after a 26-save performance in the Canadiens' win over the Maple Leafs.
When ACS shut down its mobile app, a lot of us lost the easiest way to keep up with some of the literature. Generic RSS readers are flaky, strip out images, and force you to bounce between publishers — while new chemistry papers are coming out at a firehose pace.
All most of us want is to open one app, scroll the latest ASAPs, and actually see the graphical abstracts first — because chemists read in structures, not walls of text.
So we built ChemASAP 🧪⚡
Open one app and see the newest ASAP and early-view papers (publisher agnostic), with their graphical abstracts front and center.
• Pulls crisp TOC / graphical abstracts automatically – even when a publisher's RSS feed breaks or leaves them out
• Works across publishers in one clean feed (ACS, Nature, Wiley, RSC, Cell Press/Chem, Science, and more — not locked to one house)
• Treats @ChemRxiv as a first-class journal right alongside peer-reviewed ASAPs
• Toggle only the journals you care about, tap straight to full text, or share a paper in one tap
• No account, no sign-up
100% Free for everyone.
So far, its been our go-to app for keeping track of the literature in real-time.

Full quote from St. Louis:
“My favourite people are the people that are 100 percenters. In anything you do in life, you’re only going to be the best if you give it 100 per cent. You want to be a good dad? It’s not about being 100 per-cent present, but when you’re present you have to be 100 per-cent there. So for me, they’re with their family, be 100 per-cent there. They’re here, they’re taking the time--enjoy that. We’re going to play tomorrow, find the pockets that you can enjoy the family and be with them. This is great. These people are a big part of their lives, they’re supportive. Being a wife, a dad, a mom, whatever it is, a kid from a professional athlete, it comes at a price.
"But when the game starts, you’ve got to be 100 per-cent there.
"So to me, you want to find any success in life, be a 100 percenter."
