UAA and UAF Biology and collaborators in Ukraine: sequencing the genome of virulent African swine fever virus (ASFV) by MinION #ASV2019 @UAABioSciences @uaanchorage @devindrown @ArcticBiology @uafairbanks @BortzGroup

@ladynightshade6 @outbreakupdates Also: 🦠 #H5 #avianinfluenza #birdflu spillover infections: from raw chicken or 🐄 raw milk to cats 🥛 🐈‍⬛ 🐈 .. and sometimes to humans. This is a fast evolving pathogen. You can wear gloves and mask #PPE while prepping food — and for now, cook it, kills most pathogens.

@ladynightshade6 @outbreakupdates Should, if the source of the eggs was clean. There are standards in the US, usually pretty well enforced. However CDC/FDA investigate and recall food products for pathogen contamination all the time. So use good judgement — if you want to mask, sure, and if in doubt throw it out.

@hubermanlab @NIH No — balance should evolve with technology, conceptual breakthroughs, new minds — not arbitrary formulas. US #academicscience is the basis for almost all of the technological advancement in the private sector in America, supplying ideas, discoveries, trchnology, and scientists.

@DmitriyLeybel @KF_Crow @soft_fox_lad @SuryaGanguli @sumitagg1 @RogerClark_PSFC But the people who run the agencies of “unelected bureaucrats” are political appointments by the elected Executive branch. So the People have control. They elect their representatives and President and all that who hire the staff at NIH….

@ladynightshade6 @outbreakupdates #H5 #avianflu grows in embryonated eggs kills them (got a little chick inside like in Europe); but contamination in any industrial food supply is a serious issue, so (1) rinse eggs, (2) cooked not raw, (3) don’t eat anything that looks wierd; (4) avoid raw milk for now.

@LasVegasLocally We can run metagenomics on it find out for sure..

@HugoVale_ @ElonClipsX Grok: “Neo-Nazi Associations: While the AfD itself is not formally a neo-Nazi movement, some of its members or local groups ..have expressed views that align with neo-Nazi or far-right extremist ideologies. .. AfD politicians have made statements that echo Nazi-era rhetoric..”

@HSirohiiii @elonmusk Wrong.

@DrBMcDH @elonmusk It will have exactly the opposite effect.

@elonmusk That’s not how it works.

@CharlesBosworth @CrownTheG1 @TomiLahren And in America, if you don’t have health insurance, you do your own surgery, in your kitchen. Or take unlicensed quack drugs like ivermectin for everything but parasitic worms. But WTH, Canada would prefer that, right?

@Tboo211 You get mycoplasma from an infected person — not from “fog”. As for S. marcescens, this bacteria is ubiquitous.

@outbreakupdates Birds.

@elonmusk Did you know you’re spreading Russian and PRC disinformation on X?

@GicAriana Normally the President of the United States is the de facto leader or the Free World. But Trump is an idiot ідіот, a chump, and he’s very insecure — he was never good enough. He feels he is not respected, so he’ll force respect by fear. He’s willing to burn down civilization.

@thinking_panda 🗽the power of his protest was he blocked the tanks with himself, his body. He was an ordinary man who faced down the military #CCP junta that was crushing the people at #TienaminSquare 1989. #TankMan is bravery, he represents democracy. Think harder @thinking_panda.

@zachpogrob Anchorage, Alaska!

@jlsteenwyk @TimoJMoilanen We’ll try this!
