Gonna need some sauce on that chief.

What a great example of what they were talking about!

That’s a soul patch not a goatee

I believe he’s one of the very many YouTubers who’s a Mormon.

Scary that asking for a citation is considered contempting by some. That doesn’t back up what the other person said at all though. There’s a huge difference between saying a virus causes AD and saying that infections worsen cognitive decline in AD. I understand not everyone is experienced in reading scientific literature, but it’s important to recognize that and not spread misinformation if you don’t understand what is being described. The closest this paper gets is to connecting two things: infections cause inflammation and inflammation contributes to AD. Both of these things have already been known for a long time. This does not mean AD is a result of a virus or viral infections.

I started mine in 2023. I got one experiment run and I probably won’t get to run another. My dissertation will likely be made up of just running different analyses with the existing data I have. So glad we chose a government more based on caring about which genitals were in which genital restricted sports than caring about funding things like my research on Alzheimer’s.

Well reading that first result, have you even read it? It said it may effect a rare subtype and could accelerate what we already know is happening. Not cause it.

Helps to actually read it ;)

When you literally don’t have the money to buy groceries or the time to prepare food, yep. Or the education to truly understand the impacts of eating that food all the time… This is why poor people in America are overweight.

OK so let’s start with Nature Metabolism because that’s the big one here. Nature is one of the number one scientific journals to get published in. They are so big they have a portfolio dedicated for different fields. This is one of them. This tells me you are not familiar with the field. Getting published in Nature alone is impressive and tells us this article did go through a rigorous peer review process.

Secondly, the effects mentioned in the news article align with similar research I am familiar with, and in science consensus is usually a good sign for the findings being valid.

I haven’t had time to look through the actual published article yet but I’m inclined to believe this. Regarding the sample size, yes it’s smallish, but you can’t judge it on its own. You have to look at the stats to see if it was sufficient or not. The larger the effect the smaller the sample size you need to show it. Liver fat went from like 1.5-2.5% which is a huge difference. I have definitely seen legitimate studies before with similar sample sizes.

Imma assign this weight heavier than the average study you come across, though less groundbreaking.

Separately, there is supposedly some evidence now that Alzheimer’s is caused by a virus, or by a history of viral infections.

You got a citation for that?

As a researcher in the field, this article doesn’t really give a good explanation of what’s going on here. Seems to say he just doubted the cause but didn’t provide any other ideas. Researchers right now are thinking the amyloid beta still plays a major part, the issue is free floating amyloid beta, not the plaques. The plaques therefore would just be another symptom of this free floating amyloid beta. Also, it’s surprisingly similar to diabetes, just localized in the brain. So don’t be overweight.

Thank you! This idea that “everyone starts out female” has been blowing my mind. Roughly 50% of the population is quite explicitly not female at any time and never could be.

Everyone acts like we collectively only realized he was an idiot like 2 years ago. I remember when I first heard about him in college around 2016 I didn’t like him even then. His ego was clearly apparent and his “progressive persona” was obviously a persona.

Papa V Perpetua is certainly the most fitting announcement here!

Incorrect. It is safer to have the mirrors cover a wider range. Just adjust your mirrors correctly to not triple what they show.

Pointing all mirrors back produces the blind spot we have been discussing this whole time and makes it more unsafe because things can be in that blind spot. A pedestrian behind your car would be seen by the rear view mirror.

The arrangement you are advocating for is incorrect and should never be used due to it solely limiting view and increasing danger.

Listen to the engineers.

They are sideview mirrors. Most people do not have them where they should be and instead have three mirrors pointing to the rear, showing basically the same thing. Why turn your head away from the front when a quick look to the mirror is safer?

Yeah I’ve never understood this idea that all fetuses start as female. It’s just scientifically incorrect.

Can you link what you’re talking about?

Yeah people don’t get this. Many of those people may agree with you and were simply lucky enough to get comfortable in life. They are certainly not the main contributors to inequality in our society.

Because habits have nothing to do with short term memory. It’s me. I’m the neuroscientist.
