NEW: China zoo forced to admit the truth after one of their “pandas” started panting and barking.

The Shanwei zoo admits they painted dogs white and black to make them look like pandas.

The zoo initially tried claiming that the dogs were a unique breed of pandas called “panda dogs.”

It was later discovered that the “pandas” were Chow Chows who were dyed with white and black paint.

You probably know the start of this Olympic story, but do you know how it finished?

This photo is of Eric Moussambani, aka 'Eric the Eel' from Equatorial Guinea, competing in the 100m Freestyle event at the Sydney 2000 Olympics, alone.

Why?

Finally. We figured out the dense deposits in dense deposit disease (DDD).

The answer is Apolipoprotein E.

You can stain for APOE & make the diagnosis of DDD in >80% cases. Without electron 🔬.

DDD was the reason I got into mass spectrometry 17 yrs ago. https://t.co/fQxitNbFYF

Thrilled to celebrate my alma mater @EinsteinMed & @MontefioreNYC for becoming the second (?) medical school in the U.S. to offer tuition-free education! This incredible milestone was made possible by Dr. Ruth Gottesman's generous $1 billion gift. What an extraordinary achievement!

Tomorrow, a crucial piece of legislation around healthcare will be scrutinised by MPs.

It will happen in a committee room, away from the main chambers, on a whisper.

If it passes, it will worsen the health of the UK population.

Did you know about it? No?
