@beamer_app Beamer is well put together, fast, efficient and convenient, but I am NOT going to switch to a subscription for it. There are many alternative options out there (including Airplay from a Mac with he files playing in any video players).

COMMENT

Therapeutic approaches to tackle #diabetes continue to be refined.

@JimJohnsonSci & @JelenaK86 stress the importance of mimicking healthy physiological insulin dynamics when considering more intensive insulin- and cell-based therapies.

@Gradwohl_Gerard @DanielJDrucker …and most of the time, you can't get a sample, so you're not always even sure they are going to work!

Verapamil might be the real deal for delay of type 1 #diabetes #T1D more trials underway. Some new mechanistic insights here @Diabetes_ADA https://t.co/OBEMzFgC6B

@jwoodgett The more I use Twitter lately, the more I like Mastodon :->

@TwocanoesSoft I saw a new version of MDS is out. Your licensing scheme seems to only cover organizations with a large number of seats. Any option for individuals who might still like to use some of the feature the app has to offer?

[Corentin Cras-Méneur @cortig]

Why didn’t-I use Cell Profiler (https://t.co/pQnrqOimIc) before?? The app works great for counting nuclei, colocalization etc. Really impressed. I used to do the same things in FIJI, but this is much faster!

Just read this article. I thought it was interesting (and ironic obviously):

@MacPaw I didn't want to bug you, but Gemini 2.9.8 is now systematically crashing when I attempt to scan on my Monterey Mac since I updated it to 12.6.5. Not sure the two are related (but it could be the case). Is it a known issue?

[Corentin Cras-Méneur @cortig]

@DanielJDrucker @LillyPad @LillyDiabetes For anyone who doesn’t know, you can purchase 10 mL of Humalog for about $300 in the US right now (down to $45 in Canada). Capping the cost at $35 a. Month is a MASSIVE improvement for the life of T1D (and the T2D patient who need it as well)!!

Thousands of students gathered tonight at The Diag in support of our @michiganstateu family. May their voices be heard in Congress and in legislatures across the country.

14 months ago I had to evacuate from Oxford High Schol when a fifteen year old opened fire and killed four of my classmates and injured seven more.

Tonight, I am sitting under my desk at Michigan State Univeristy, once again texting everyone “I love you”

When will this end?

201 if I add "Pancreatic islets" and "Islets of Langerhans"

I found 139 in 2002 on PubMed using the same search criteria :->

[XX @bcellorg]

Is it really true, as authors suggest, that beta-cell research started in 2003? “From 2002 to 2003, only 3 articles were published, which meant that the study of beta cells had not received much attention.”

Colour me sceptical about this analysis. 🫤 https://t.co/bZRlCtZoT4

[Corentin Cras-Méneur @cortig]

@bcellorg I performed the same search in PubMed and found 139 in 2002 (I had to use "NOT (book[Publication Type])" since "Article" is not an accepted search criteria). Ridiculous! Plus the search terms are far too restrictive.

[Corentin Cras-Méneur @cortig]

This makes no sense… In my book, if all activities disappear without user interaction, there has to be a bug somewhere!

[Corentin Cras-Méneur @cortig]

Dear @ecobee. This is the 2nd time all my activities are wiped out. This time, it happened without anyone even touching the thermostat or accessing the website. Please ask your support folks to not simply ask me to put a PIN on the thermostat to prevent the issue…
