In a new @NatureMicrobiol study, Dr. Lina Widerspick and other scientists have revealed how persistent #Ebola virus infection in neural cells drives long-term inflammation and viral evolution. 🧠

@anishgiri From an evolutionary perspective, optimal at nothing, but better than anything else: Throwing with force and precision, long distance running and walking, tool making/manipulating objects with our hands, collaborating in large groups. I'm probably missing some.

@Jessworldview If you are in the mood for something really tragic, "The children of Hurin" is great

[Max Borgmeyer @MaxBorgmeyer]

@LocasaleLab What are you talking about? Most PhD students basically live in the lab. Am I just falling for a rage bait post here?

@BStulberg There hasn’t been a world champion or even a contender who wasn’t also a child prodigy in a long time, with the current world champion literally being a teenager.

[Max Borgmeyer @MaxBorgmeyer]

@BStulberg No one would expect, for example, the under 14 ranking to reflect future results 5-10 years in the future in a meaningful way. But all the players who will become world class 5-10 years later will already be at a master level at this age and already highly specialized.

Such an honor - I still feel the adrenaline. Here’s the talk:

💔 In Memory of Daniel Naroditsky

Daniel was a true artist of the chessboard - a bright mind filled with imagination and endless love for the game. His attacking style and creative brilliance showed how deeply he lived for the beauty of chess.

The game above Daniel vs Guliyev reflects the imaginative combinational skills he had - a glimpse into the artistry and passion that made his play so special.

It’s heartbreaking to think how much more he could have given - how many hearts he would have inspired. His passion, artistry, and love for chess will always remain a shining light for all who play and dream.

I thought images of starved Jews digging their own graves would forever be confined to the history books.

To see the past become present is a horror.

Never Again. Again.

[Ahmad Mansour @AhmadMansour__]

Die Empathielosigkeit, mit der weite Teile der westlichen Öffentlichkeit und ihrer Medien auf das Schicksal jüdischer Geiseln reagieren, ist keine bloße Nachlässigkeit – sie ist bewusst inszeniert. In einem Zeitalter, in dem jedes Bild, jede Schlagzeile strategisch kuratiert wird, ist das Schweigen ein Akt der Entscheidung.

Die Bilder der abgemagerten, verzweifelten Geiseln in Gaza – Menschen, denen man die Würde raubt, das Licht aus den Augen löscht – erinnern nicht zufällig an düstere Kapitel europäischer Geschichte. Wer sie ignoriert, entscheidet sich nicht nur gegen das Mitgefühl, sondern gegen die historische Verantwortung, die aus genau jenen Bildern erwuchs.

Seit dem 7. Oktober 2023 beobachten wir eine Erosion der Empathie gegenüber Juden – nicht nur in den Straßen, sondern in den Redaktionen, Universitäten, Parlamenten. Es ist ein moralischer Absturz, so lautlos wie erschütternd. Man schweigt nicht aus Unwissenheit, sondern aus Bequemlichkeit, aus Feigheit – oder aus ideologischer Kälte. Es ist zum Schreien.

Wir freuen uns über einen tollen 7. Platz unserer U10-Mannschaft bei der DVM ��👏👏 Zugpferd Ove Braren macht 6/7 an Brett 1 🤯 Großer Dank den Ausrichtern und Organisatoren 🙏 (@Schachjugend, @DSK1425).

Our new study shows that SARS-CoV-2 spike protein accumulates & persists in the body for years after infection, especially in the skull-meninges-brain axis, potentially driving long COVID. mRNA vaccines help but cannot stop it🔬🧠🦠🧵👇@cellhostmicrobe https://t.co/IEGx7HIrXf

Unsere U14-Mannschaft hat bei der NDVM bisher einen richtig tollen Lauf, bekommt "zur Belohnung" heute aber mit Barnim wieder einen dicken Brocken vorgesetzt. Alle Daumen gedrückt für den Endspurt 🤞🍀
