If I were Canadian PM I would immediately:

1. Create a new $15B science fund

2. Offer any credentialed US scientist funding for lab startup and replacement of NIH grants if they move to Canada

3. Immediate permanent residency

4. Citizenship after 2 years

Overnight a science superpower

Concerning that a democrat is blaming the extent of the Trump family lawlessness on Democrats. In way reversing victim and offender here.

reasonable countries should coordinate a collective response that has the potential to crush Trump's economy... Just make agreements that if one country is slapped with this, 10-20 countries impose the same on the US

... And the scientific process with its high reliance on trust and personal integrity of researchers already has many aspects that are easily exploited. So, I'd say we need to expect more and harder to spot politically (or financially) motivated research. 2/2

"...can and must critique and debunk US guidance that is not scientifically rigorous"

I think we need to prepare for a full-on subversion of the process of evidence-based methods. The current ilk of kleptocratic leaders exploits the process of elections for manipulation and personal enrichment. 1/2

I think too few people realize the close link between the internet's competition for eyeballs/engagement and the logic behind the worldwide rising populism.

Like other "social media", #BlueSky is also set up as a popularity contest in the form of likes/favorites and reposts. The pathway to a "lowest common denominator" position is clear, via oversimplification, intellectual shortcuts, echo chambers and ultimately populism.

The U.S. has benefitted from international doctors making up for the limitations of its own education system. Key factors have been political stability, civil liberties, and a strong institutional support for science. At this point, those with international mobility are better off looking elsewhere

not sure, can't tell much from the file layout and I'm not familiar with the project. It would seem to me that finding a way to make a port would be less likely to break with the -current and -release cycles. Would be interested in an independent port of raylib, we might have most of the rest...

... and those are due to causes possibly more commonly associated with higher mortality than "just dehydration", independently of the hyponatremia correction rate

23.11.2024 06:25 β€” πŸ‘ 0    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

but the type of hyponatremia can well be a confounder. My personal (hospitalist, non-systematic) observation is that some patient's who are primarily hypovolemic correct very rapidly as soon as volume is administered. SIADH and hypervolemic causes of hyponatremia just take longer...

23.11.2024 06:23 β€” πŸ‘ 0    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

but did they correct in some way for cause of hyponatremia, level of illness, comorbidities (hypokalemia, hyperglycemia), or other factors why the sodium may have been corrected more rapidly or slowly than planned?

I'm just amazed they got IRB approval for this study given the ODS risk that did manifest in several patients.

Friendly reminder for #OpenBSD -current users, you'll need to use 'pkg_add -Dsnap ...' with upcoming snapshots as the project enters release mode for 7.6.

The -beta tag has been dropped.
