Massive news: eLife to abolish accept/reject decisions: papers will just be “peer reviewed”. Others can argue about this, but lots of interesting consequences. 1/9 elifesciences.org/articles/8…

#Ukraine please RT: phone operator @VodafoneUK, do not cut me out from my relatives and friends. Three days of heartless lies already! I can pay for my calls to #Ukraine +380! No need for free calls, which are dropped, before they go through
please RT: UK mobile operators declared, calls from #UK to #Ukraine for FREE until March 25. @VodafoneUK informs me and DROPS all my calls to +380 numbers 💙💛 from today, while misinforming, it must be on the side of #Ukraine. A heartless business move

A remarkable moment in the history of GWAS!
"... using GWAS data from 5.4 million individuals of diverse ancestries, that 12,111 independent SNPs that are significantly associated with height account for nearly all of the common SNP-based heritability."

I’ve literally treated many dozens of people who developed diabetes during #COVID19 from drinking coke. It’s their products that are filling up our emergency rooms
Great marketing ploy by Coca-Cola to dedicate bottles of the drink that causes so much illness and extra Covid deaths globally to the teachers and caregivers that have to clean up the mess... foodpolitics.com/2020/12/foo…

Using large-scale #GWAS, we screened 955 circulating proteins for their role in #COVID19 outcomes using #MendelianRandomization.
We found that increased OAS1 levels strongly protected against COVID19 outcomes.
