Here’s the recording of my talk for @GlobalPlantGPC on my personal journey in science - the QandA ended up being a career advice session. Frank and personal.

“A sense of patients being unreliable sources about their own lives” Ed Yong on #LongCovid #ME
Having the reality of your illness denied “is almost as bad as the actual physical symptoms themselves.” Ed Yong, speaking about #LongCovid patients being disbelieved and dismissed, and how gender and racial bias affect their care.

Covid-19 is surging across the US right now. I’ve been inundated on social media lately with nasty stories from people sick for WEEKS with fatigue, razor blade throat, headaches, lingering cough, etc You may be super healthy, fit or believe in conspiracies like that “it’s just a cold”…but trust me Covid can and will fuck your life up. I was healthier than most and I’m still dealing with consequences from a Covid infection in 2023. Needless to say, please heed caution…N95 masks are super effective. You do not want to end up like me because you thought “meh, no big deal.”

Cardiologists advise annual flu and COVID-19 shots for those with heart disease, plus pneumococcal, RSV (50+) and shingles (50+) vaccines. "Annual COVID-19 vaccines have been linked to reduced risks of myocardial infarction, stroke, heart failure events and all-cause mortality"

Hey @Avis, I recently left a bad review of Avis Car Hire - Heathrow Airport: " Beware! They charged me for damage I did not do (even with photos)." (understatement). Got no response. You asked me to reply on the socials -sent a DM on Instagram. Still waiting. #AvisUK

Another paper out this month contains important protocols for measuring all the different #toxins in #cycads in the same tissues: from PhD work by Georgia Lloyd and was super hard to do #neurotoxin

Integrated LC/MS–MS approaches reveal toxicity differences across seed layers of Cycas angulata: findings related to #seed biology including consumption by indigenous people in Arnhem land, and possible spread by megafauna:

Nitrogen Status Rewires Transcriptional Regulation of Dhurrin, a Dual-Purpose Defense Metabolite in Sorghum bicolor

Latest paper: provides new insight into the N-responsive regulation of #dhurrin in #sorghum, candidate regulators - some TFs may be involved in relieving senescence-associated suppression of dhurrin biosynthesis, links to N signalling #cyanide
