There's no CEO or university president in America who would keep their job if they posted something like this. America will one day need to have a reckoning over this era.

One of the best math books I've ever read: MIT's "Mathematics for Computer Science" Its writing style is brilliant, and it covers everything: - Linear algebra - Series - Logic - Probability - Number theory - Graphs You can find the PDF here: courses.csail.mit.edu/6.042/…

Lifestyle is a stronger predictor of aging and mortality than genetics. A new Nature study of ~500,000 people found: 🎯 17% of mortality variation was linked to lifestyle (exposome). 🧬 <2% of was explained by genetics. Here’s what you need to know 👇🧵 1/10

Enough talking, it’s time to act! 1. Let’s finance our aid for Ukraine from the Russian frozen assets. 2. Let’s strengthen air policing, the Baltic sentry and the EU borders with Russia. 3. Let’s swiftly adopt new fiscal rules to finance the EU security and defence. Now!

Burning question answered: Did you know that the acute effects of sunburn are the result of damage to the RNA, not the DNA as many textbooks have claimed? Researchers from the University of Copenhagen (@koebenhavns_uni) and #NTUsg have found that RNA damage is the real culprit behind inflammation and cell death after UV exposure. This hot discovery changes the prevailing understanding of the skin's defense mechanisms, and could lead to innovative treatments for certain chronic skin conditions.

In the fall of 1972, President Nixon announced that "the rate of increase of inflation was decreasing". Probably the first time a sitting president used the 3rd derivative to increase the chances of reelection.
