Was just informed that this year, 2024, is the year that both the 13 year and 17 year cicadas cycles synchronize once more, meaning all of North America will be plagued by an amount of cicadas unseen since 1803, which is a bad omen for an election year imo.

11 years ago this morning, 20 sets of parents kissed their first graders goodbye as they dropped them off for school. It was the last time they would see their children alive. I beg you - commit yourself to the cause of creating a nation where this never ever happens again.

They didn’t recognize or diagnose ADHD in females until the 90’s. My parents were told in the 80’s that IF girls “got adhd”, he would diagnose me. Instead they called us “strong willed” and talkative.

For those of us who thought most of NC's newcomers and moving here from up north...not really...
State to state migration data for 2022 from Census posted yesterday. Again, NC saw more people move here from Florida than any other state. Virginia came in a close second Total from other states: 341k From abroad: 58k FL 35k VA 34k SC 28k NY 25k CA 23k GA 23k TX 16k MD 13k

North Carolina are national champions AGAIN. FINAL: 1-1 (3-2). Maddie Kahn gets ANOTHER stop, and Ryleigh Heck seals it with her behind-the-back shot.

What's the biggest difference between a neuron from a young vs. an aged primate? It is not the length of the axon and dendrites, but the number of spines available to make contact and connections with other surrounding neurons! 3D recon. made with @ImarisSoftware #neuroscience

Can someone who is a computer wiz or algorithm understander person explain to me why it’s 2023 and Pubmed still doesn’t have a name-change solution? It MUST be difficult to do because @NCBI certainly has the resources and the DEI values to make the change otherwise, right?

I’m up. Ever since my sister’s accident, I haven’t slept a bit. Soooo here is a thread on how a clinical trial drug likely saved her life, and moreover how Black respresentation amongst @DukeHospital’s surgery trial coordinators saved her life.
I’m currently at @DukeHospital for a family emergency (too much to discuss)… but a glimmer of God showed up yesterday. A clinical trial coordinator who works with a PI who my Ma-Ma worked for for 40+ years stopped by yesterday.

This is a reminder that the NCSSM Summer Venture application opens on 10/15/23. It is a no-cost, state-funded program for academically talented North Carolina students who aspire to careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. ncssm.edu/summer/summer-vent…

Government Mandated Pregnancies are up.
This headline about "abortions fell in North Carolina" is the completely wrong frame. It should read: "More women in North Carolina (and beyond) were forced into carrying pregnancies they did not want." axios.com/2023/10/11/north-c… #ncpol

Will never forget Ocean Vuong's comments on competitiveness in the arts. He used the metaphor of a racetrack, calling the race “synthetic." Remove all the man-made elements--the track, the fences, the jockeys and numbers--and you have “horses running together in a field.” 💚

Amazing #Quantum computer photo. Somewhat, this looks a part of #NeuralNetwork in the #Brain (chandelier cells). 🧠🔬Image was adapted from IMARIS Oxford Instruments.

Some of the superpowers of @catherinemohr : * Ignorance: you will not know everything but be willing to learn * Laziness: certain things can be outsourced. Focus on what you are good at. * Stoicism: let certain things not bother you. * Entitlement: control your own fate.
