I don’t know who needs to hear this but GUYS, if a girl touches you in any nonstandard way (headpat, comparing hand sizes, leaning against you)
SHE IS INTO YOU*

COOL FACTS ABSOLUTELY NO ONE HAS CARED ABOUT THIS WEEK (ZERO POLITICS, ZERO SCIENCE DRAMA, ZERO AI, ZERO NEGATIVITY) while I avoid packing:
-FREAKING NEURONS make the aggrecans/proteoglycans for their own perineuronal nets NOT GLIA and it's predominantly inhibitory neurons BUT it has to be expressed by excitatory neurons in order for critical period closure
-XIST (x inactive specific transcript) that keeps the second X inactive (but like only partially and dynamically depending on tissue type) is PROTEIN CODING IN BIRDS AND FISH AND IN FISH IT CONTROLS DEVELOPMENTAL AXES VIA AN E3 LIGASE
-sometimes cancer cells just pop a tumor suppressor onto the inactive x and xist just zambonis over that nonsense in cis
-WE OWE LIKE OUR ENTIRE UNDERSTANDING OF RNA BIOLOGY FROM SPLICING TO THE SPLICEOSOME TO SOME TRNA STUFF TO NUCLEOLAR BIOLOGY TO AUTOIMMUNE PATIENTS PROVIDING THEIR SERA IN THE 70S AND 80S FOR AUTOANTIBODIES AGAINST THE RELEVANT RIBONUCLEOPROTEINS
-the original cells ANA tests were used on were HEp-2 cells which turned out to be HeLa cells the whole time and do absolutely fucked things with their sex chromosomes
I'm not rereading for typos, yolo
Replying to @amaticahealth
@amaticahealth did the thing! $500 rnaseq w mobile phleb incl and extra blood saved for potential further analysis. open to any disease where you might wanna see what’s happening eg before and during a flare (eg autoimmune). not single cell but v likely still useful!
and for single cell there’s sort of a consumer option (esp if you are groupbuying a batch) w @imyoohealth
glorious biohacker future

it's kind of funny how Bryan Johnson specifically is a stock character. like GD's ad uses the Longevity Rich Tech Guy archetype, a known mythological role in modern folklore, but this archetype is specifically Bryan Johnson in particular
this costs 20k minimum to do rn but is technically available
We're unable to measure our immune system status in the clinic. But that is about to change.

There is something really concerning (and disappointing) going on in the US right now.
A dangerous and preventable situation.
Let me explain.
