#Human #Enhancement betrifft nur ganz wenige? Nur die breiten Typen im Gym?

Falsch.

Sich auf irgendeine Art und Weise "verbessern" zu wollen liegt in der Natur des Menschen. Hierzu werden auch Medikamente eingesetzt.

[Dr. Samuel Iff @EpiOccDoc]

Die am bekanntesten sind Medikamente zum Muskelaufbau, auch Anabolika genannt. Es werden aber durchaus mehr Medikamente verwendet. Zum Beispiel für die Gewichtsreduktion, dem Aussehen, für Sex und Libido, für die Kognition sowie für die Stimmung und das soziale Verhalten.

Isabella Eckerle @EckerleIsabella im SRF-Interview: Sars-CoV-2 wird kein harmloses Schnupfenvirus werden

„Meiner Meinung nach wird es nie ein harmloses Schnupfenvirus werden. #SARSCoV2 gehört zu den schwer krank machenden #Coronaviren. Ausserdem passiert in dem Virus…

#COVID19

This is so crazy.

The Northern Hemisphere used to radiate more heat to space than it absorbed from the sun.

The difference was made up for by heat transported north from the Southern Hemisphere through (mainly the Atlantic) oceans and atmosphere.

Around 2014 the amount of Absorbed Solar Radiation started to rapidly increase, surpassing Outgoing Longwave (Thermal or IR) Radiation to space, leading to a positive Energy Imbalance of the Northern Hemisphere!

So more heat was absorbed from the sun than radiated to space, possibly also reducing heat transported from the Southern to the Northern Hemisphere and leaving more to e.g. melt Antarctic Sea ice.

In recent years this energy imbalance has been increasing further, as air pollution and cloud cover decreased, and the amount of sunlight reflected back to space decreased.

And because outgoing heat radiation was not increasing (as much).

The balance can be restored (or made negative again) in two ways:

1⃣ Increasing Outgoing Longwave Radiation.
For that temperatures of the Northern Hemisphere need to increase, which is happening at the moment.

2⃣ Increasing air pollution and cloud cover to reflect more sunlight to space.

Neither of these are policy recommendations.

We are between a rock and a hard place.

People need to be aware of the situation.

There is such an extreme amount of ocean surface heat now warming the atmosphere!

Hold on to your hats!

So @moderna_tx has what looks like a very good nasal vaccine. Why haven't they got it into large scale clinical trials?

Always ask yourself:

“What evidence would convince me that I’m wrong?”

If the answer is, “nothing,” then you are not adhering to the rules of science or logic.

Burnout unter Mitarbeitenden im Gesundheitswesen ist häufig, die Suizidrate bei ÄrztInnen erhöht.

ÄrztInnen „funktionieren“ immer, stellen ihre eigenen Bedürfnisse oft hintenan.

Selbstfürsorge ist wichtig! Bei Problemen rechtzeitig Hilfe holen!

The September heatwave is unprecedented. The Central England daily mean-temperature series begins in 1772.

Today also marks the 7th day in a row of maximum temperatures hit >30°C in the UK. This has also never been recorded in September.

Bigger muscles burn more calories. Each lb of muscle you add burns an extra ~6 calories per day at REST.

If you add 20 lbs of muscle (very do-able naturally), that’s an extra 100+ calories burned every day doing nothing.

Numbers are higher once you factor in activity.
