@Sharonb67844939 @rjmedwed @JakePetzold @leftofcool13 @R_S12321 @ZealouslyQuoted @lifgab @YehudiGadol Are you a blood hobbyist or hematopathologist? How do you tell culture or religion from a blood sample? What are your epidemiological methods?

So far your study is clearly flawed.

@Sharonb67844939 @thatblokescat @rjmedwed @JakePetzold @leftofcool13 @R_S12321 @ZealouslyQuoted @lifgab @YehudiGadol Well, the Mischling Test was also unscientific. It was based on lineage one could 'prove', not on a differentiation of blood or DNA.

Also, see the Grandfather Clause in the US.

@DrJEBall @caraquilts Tabi socks! I prefer glove socks so all my toes have their own room.

@crashfrog Lol, you'll also be paying for missing *half* the ads... so you'll always wonder which ads you're missing (fomo)?

@MichaelSieler Simplest well-characterized model of the top of my head would be C. elegans, but I'm always partial to tardigrades and rotifers, 'cause they're cute.

This is not OK! Here is a comprehensive summary of 27(!!!) instances of public health officials being fired or leaving their jobs due to pressure or threats over coronavirus response....

Ok this WASN’T me but when I was a junior in college I made the catastrophic mistake of underestimating the athleticism of crabs and about 300 crabs got loose in the basement of the biology building and it was 100% my bad

@SarahMackAttack Thanks for this, I laughed harder than I have in weeks!
Yet another reason I'm grateful to have grown up on the Chesapeake Bay. We never 'underestimate the atheticism of crabs' y'all. I may need to embroider that phrase on a pillow!

Today, I provided an update to reporters that FDA still isn’t seeing any widespread problems with food safety or food supply chains as a result of #COVID19. I’ve also filmed a 30-second PSA to assure consumers that our food is safe and still available. https://t.co/9gPk9xOzrI

We can pump out half a million SuperBowl tee shirts for the losing team but we can’t make masks for motherfucking healthcare workers risking their lives everyday?

Somebody decided to invite Dr. Rishi Desai onto Fox.

I don’t think they’ll be asking him back.

@ladyelle313 Wait! If I don't follow the Gregorian calendar, I don't get New Year's off?!? I knew it was a mistake to switch to the Vikram Samvat.
