Can COVID rekindle cancer?
Yes...in mice. And *maybe* in people too.
A fascinating new paper in @nature.com found that infection w/ influenza or SARS-CoV-2 caused dormant breast cancer cells in the lungs to “awaken” & grow...*IN MICE*.
The data for people was *suggestive* but not super compelling IMO. #episky #medsky #idsky

We have a new article out in Politics & Society. We analyze how perceptions of sociocultural and socioeconomic inequalities structure electoral behavior. Instead of a dividing line between these inequalities, we find that supporters of left parties are more opposed to all types of inequality.
