💯 - great team up

📌

This is a great team up.

Was 🤔 only yesterday that these two would be a solid duo.

If you want exChina supply chains - the market won't fix it, when China views it as infrastructure allowing strategic advantage and accelerated growth of higher value downstream capabilities. So it subsidizes its existence.

You have to do what China did and build it.

A role for microglia in mediating the microbiota–gut–brain axis | Nature Reviews Immunology Microglia, the resident immune cells of the brain, are now recognized as being active participants in the onset and progression of many neurological and neuropsychiatric disorders. As a result, substantial effort has been made in finding ways to target, deplete or modulate the aberrant phenotypes of the microglia that are present in these different disease states, albeit with varied levels of success. The gut microbiota has recently emerged as a master regulator of microglia throughout the lifespan; here, we propose that this microbiota–microglia cross-talk may have major implications for our understanding of neurological disorders and neuropsychiatric diseases. We focus on the latest advances in understanding gut–microglia communication in the context of microglial heterogeneity and microglia-related functions, as well as considering the evidence for effects of these pathways on diseases and disorders of the central nervous system. We also address the challenges, opportunities and cli

The association between the duration of surgery and risks of mortality and unplanned reoperation is modulated by the surgical start time - Scientific Reports Scientific Reports - The association between the duration of surgery and risks of mortality and unplanned reoperation is modulated by the surgical start time

🕒 When surgery starts could save lives

A study of 16,000+ neurosurgeries found that operations starting later in the day and lasting longer were linked to much higher risks of death or reoperation.

Timing matters, not just duration.

“We know how to fix the problems. We know what the science says. Centrism is restricting solutions.”

What stage of capitalism is this?

From personal experience, almost all black women attorneys from Texas are exactly like this (compliment). The best is when they're on your side for a dispute involving a school district

“.. Within about three minutes of the crash, the Model S uploaded a “collision snapshot”—video, CAN‑bus streams, EDR data, etc.—to Tesla’s servers .. The vehicle then deleted its local copy, resulting in Tesla being the only entity having access.”

Doesn't matter if it's electric or petrol. The idiot road an unregistered, clearly a motorbike not a normal bike, in a park and killed someone.

Should not be let off lightly. Needs to change who he is as a person.

Good. You don't want people who can't control themselves and have a history of harming others in a profession which is constantly around people at their most vulnerable .

Would love an article on main ideas attendees may be going into bat for.

Wong quote no Palestine left risk

Of course we should recognise Palestine. That we haven't already (partic the UK) is mind boggling given Israel was carved out from Palestine and it was always drawn up as a two state solution.

Remember - the Kimberley was one of the other sites proposed for the establishment of Israel.

Solarcycle produces recycled glass test module with ‘peak performance’ US solar PV recycling firm, Solarcycle, has produced a pilot module using 50% recycled glass from other decommissioned panels.

‘pilot module using 50% recycled glass from decommissioned panels, matches the performance of entirely new products…uses recycled glass cullet from panels processed with Solarcycle’s technology…no statistically significant differences across any key metrics’

Wonder performance at other ratios.
