Neurologist

Cool yeah!

I’m really passionate about my field. And a lot of medical professionals have prejudice or believe outdates stereotypes about it. So I’d love to make some posts about it if that’s okay?

Hey I have a MD with residency in Neurology. Then I did a PhD in Neuroimmunology with board certification.

I’m currently doing a hectic mix of teaching two med courses, working on Long COVID research (biomarkers), and working in an understaffed long COVID (now post-viral disease) clinic.

Nice to meet you.

I mostly lurk on lemmy, but that’s because I haven’t found a place I’d like to consistently contribute yet. Maybe here?

Lol

Ah sorry, the genome of octopus’ mating is only 99.99 something % similar. Not 100%. Rounding reflex.

Are octopus related to octopus? I mean technically they’re 100% related, but also they aren’t related as related implies not being. Depends on your interpretation.

I found college classes with small sizes were the worst as they would always adapt to the slowest learners who put no effort. While large lectures don’t do that.

“minor edits”

Basically asks you to rewrite the whole thing

Look up plague poems on bluesky, was posted yesteday author provided source in replies iirc

If you’re healthy.

Sucks to be disabled or immunocompromised or at risk in any other way…

Also, it’s still killing at much higher rates than the flu.

And I won’t even start getting into Long COVID, which I’m currently researching. But it is a major crisis. 2-4 million people unable to work in the US because of it.

FYI, you seem to be new here and seem not to be far-left. For your future enjoyment of lemmy, note that Lemmy.ML is a communist instance and therefore you may not like some of the content there.

When I was into gym and building muscle mass this confused the hell out of me at first.

Not really.

There have been extensive sociological studies over this. Condition in a capitalist society and the promotion of the “homo economicus” model continually reinforces “greediness” and leads to people in capitalist societies being far “greedier” on average.

It isn’t a natural thing, it is conditioned. Obviously everyone is greedy to an extent. But in anthropological examinations of different forms of societies, altruism scored far higher than greediness in non-capitalistic societies.

Kate Raworth, Oxford Economist, wrote an excellent chapter about this in her book called “doughnut economics”. The chapter is “Nurture Human Nature”.

The view that all humans are greedy and rational was promoted by Adam Smith and John Stuart Mill and is the precursing foundation of capitalism. But modern economics have rejected this view as it has been proven to be inaccurate, and increasingly rely on theoretical models built within behavioural economics.
