As a reference point: The estimated number of people that died chocked on gum or candy in 2022 was 1055.

Are you finally going to do something or just sit on the sidelines and post on social media?

X-Chromosomeโ€“Linked miRNAs Regulate Sex Differences in Cardiac Physiology | Circulation Research BACKGROUND: Males and females exhibit distinct anatomic and functional characteristics of the heart, predisposing them to specific disease states. METHODS: We identified microRNAs (miRNAs/miR) with ...

Congratulations to my PhD student Ike Emerson for showing sex differences in the heart are regulated through X-linked miRNAs and a big thank you to Bill Marzluff!

Crowd Sourcing: Does anyone know an AI platform, preferaably free for a trial, that can generate schematic scientific models or diagrams?

Yes, I was writing this as an attmept at a funny warning to otherswho may try it. Also different AI paltforms give completely(!) different scores and evaluations.

The AI review of grant applications is incredibly realistic! Each time I put word-for-word the same grant in AI, I get completely differrnt scores and critiques.

I am going with:
The Demon of Unrest by Larson
Creation Lake by Rachel Kushner.

Best not published in 2024: This is Happiness by Niall Williams. A story of dealing with loss in all aspects of life and the idea that happiness can be found in small ways. A slog but unforgettable.
