Thinking about this more, I just don’t think it’s true. I can’t find a spot on Google maps where tractor supply is the only store for miles. In America, you can drive to many shitty corporations to buy stuff, no matter where in America you are.
Is that your situation? I live pretty rural, but there’s a Walmart, Lowe’s, or home depot pretty much the same distance as tractor supply, and that’s probably the situation for most of the US. I also buy online. Mom and pop feed stores are all over the place.
For me, it’s real easy to go somewhere else.
It’s so easy to shop somewhere else, might as well.
Could be that the paperwork for putting together a job ad is a pain, so they just reuse an old one. So maybe the title or position details change.
A blog post from Pornhub said that its latest locations for shutdowns are Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky and Nebraska. The site said it would end operations in those states in July 2024. The website closed in Texas last week, and has also blocked access to its site in Arkansas, Mississippi, Montana, North Carolina, Utah, and Virginia in response to similar state legislation.
Dolphin died March 2022, then the publisher received the manuscript in June 2023. Then review took until 10 April 2024.
More generally, they weren’t doing this in response to the recent outbreak, it was sort of a coincidence that the disease gained media attention at the same time of this paper’s publication. Academic researchers are expected to publish around 2 papers a year, and each paper tends to take a couple years.
tl;dr: it’s an academic study, not the dolphin CDC. blame the publishers and universities, not the researchers.
I’m guessing, but it’s probably because they are testing for bird flu on a long-dead dolphin via necropsy?
So named after mutated genes - thanks
No explanation of what FLiRT stands for. A+ article s/
Lol, no, I really just mean thanks for writing the informative comment.
I’ve been to 30 or so national or international conferences in biology, and have never had an abstract rejected. I don’t think I’m doing anything special, so I assume pretty much everyone gets in. More presenters = more money. I’ve also been on the selection committee side and it is definitely not more selective than peer review. We’re only reviewing an abstract, usually under 100 words. Prob varies by field though. Maybe medical conferences are selective?
Presentations don’t get peer review, at least not in biology (my field). I agree that peer review is totally broken though.
This shouldn’t be taken seriously. It’s a very quick and dirty analysis presented at a conference without peer review. Start worrying when/if the scientific paper comes out, which might be years or never.
Yep! Measles is sooooo contagious and takes a week or two to show symptoms.
50+ kids already have it now.
Anyone know how they calculate it? Average of all credit card holders? All US households? Average of all those behind on payments?
Read the article:
"We didn’t see somebody go unconscious in 30 seconds,” said Red Hood. “What we saw was minutes of someone struggling for their life.”
This site has so many ads it’s unusable.
Crew, or more of an over-knee?
In a recent study published in the journal Nature Human Behaviour, researchers used a large, binational cohort (total n = 4,731,778) to investigate the short- and long-term associations between SARS-CoV-2 infections and subsequent adverse neuropsychiatric outcomes. They used exposure-driven propensity score matching to compare their samples’ outcomes against the general population and individuals with a non-SARS-CoV-2 respiratory infection.
Study findings revealed that COVID-19 survivors were at significantly heightened risk of developing cognitive deficits, insomnia, encephalitis, and at least four other neuropsychiatric sequelae. Specific conditions included Guillain-Barré syndrome (aHR, 4.63), cognitive deficit (aHR, 2.67), insomnia (aHR, 2.40), anxiety disorder (aHR, 2.23), encephalitis (aHR, 2.15), ischaemic stroke (aHR, 2.00), mood disorder (aHR, 1.93), and nerve/nerve root/plexus disorder (aHR, 1.47). Encouragingly, vaccination was observed to attenuate the neuropsychiatric effects of the infection
