1/13 🤔Why does iron administration relieve symptoms of restless leg syndrome (RLS) in some patients? Turns out BRAIN iron deficiency matters more. Let's have a look.

The Maryland Supreme Court ruled that firearms experts will no longer be able to testify that a bullet was fired from a particular gun. The decision is likely the first by a state supreme court to undercut the widespread forensic discipline of firearms ID reason.com/2023/06/22/maryla…

Thread: I work in an arcane field where the job requires specific technical knowledge, built on a ladder of understanding and breakthroughs going back over 100 years. It's not immunology but it's not nothing.

Functional neurological disorder is common in patients attending chronic pain clinics pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3722… We know that chronic pain is a common comorbidity in those with FND. However, few studies have looked at FND in a population of patients with chronic pain.

The more I think about the Assyrian 9th C. BCE communication revolution switching from full journey messenger communication to a secure message-relay system, the more it reminds me of the internet revolution in the 20th C. CE - a thread.

this means: until the union asks, don't boycott streaming or TV or whatever stuff you've decided you need to boycott. those are not asks the union has made at this time! They've asked for two things:

You've no doubt heard that the Great Library of Alexandria was destroyed in a fire & with it, centuries of knowledge, learning & prose. But that's not the actual story. The TRUE story of the destruction of the Great #Library of Alexandria has more to teach us than the #myth.

Pretty remarkable that America temporarily constructed a safety net during Covid — including major health care coverage, food benefits, anti poverty funding for families & kids, etc — and then just systematically and slowly demolished it
