Druv Bhagavan

Firing everyone at the CDC because I love diseases. I think they are great. Big fan of diseases. We should have more diseases.

You know how there’s been this big push towards encouraging older people to do puzzles, cognitive games, and to learn new things to keep them from succumbing to dementia?

Wonder where that’s gonna go with the rise of “outsource your cognitive functions to AI, it’ll be convenient” culture

This is called policy-based evidence making (the antipode of evidence-based policymaking, a thing we should all want)

I personally would be greatly amused seeing every immunologist fight you about cytokines. You should do it for the audience.

I'm sure they said the same thing when they renamed SFTSV to Dabie bandavirus. 🙄

WHY ARE THEY RENAMING CYTOKINES? IT WAS ALREADY HARD ENOUGH TO KEEP TRACK OF THEM

Who said my papers were organized? 😅

Don't need resolution when you've got *range*. 😎

This warning also pertains to the federal government. 😌

My life story, alas. 😔

Look, as long as I'm organized, I'll consider that an improvement.

Druv ‘The Bookmark’ Bhagavan

I'm not even using the bookmarks. I don't need 'em. 😂

Tell me if you need something in particular. I have... ways.

I blame @druvbhagavan.bsky.social

No one weaponizes a search function more than him

My archive is so large that I have long since adapted other mechanisms of receipt retrieval.

Screenshot of tweet from March 2023: @caulimovirus: "Do you have a spreadsheet or something?" My reply: "Many people are asking this."

Also, I meant that many people are literally asking this.

Many people are saying this.

On the contrary—I have since transcended the search function. None of you are safe.

My first girlfriend turned into the moon...

I *still* look back and remember those silly ad-libbed stories with fondness, so many years later.

Screenshot of messages in reply to the original text in the main post: TBH, this is really helpful 😂 I understand it better now 😂 That's literally the level of granularity that you want.

You definitely understood the assignment.

The comment before that:

"I saw a bunch of interleukins, and my eyes slid off the paragraph. Tell me what you want me to take away from that passage in one sentence (ideally <16 words)."

"More of a comment than a question" is par for the course at a conference, IMO. As is critiquing manuscripts. 😌

The age-old answer: Yes.

I'm at the intersection of "we needed this rain" and "this is great napping weather"

Counterpoint: If you've already had seven encounters with this person, then "caution" is likely not among your top priorities.
