A small group of researchers is on a years-long crusade to set the record straight on one of tuberculosis's most persistent myths. @KatherineJWu reports: theatlantic.com/science/arch…

A Big Misconception About the World’s Greatest Infectious Killer

The dogma that tuberculosis is lying dormant in the bodies of 2 billion people might be wrong.

@algore9 Aug 2023
The fossil fuel industry has started to say the quiet part out loud a little more often: they want to continue pumping fossil fuels forever. And, of course, they are still pushing phony ‘solutions’ intended to delay real climate action. I explain in my latest from @TEDTalks. ted.com/talks/al_gore_what_t…

The average Australian used to get together socially with people outside the household once a week. Now, it's closer to once a fortnight. The drop in joining & connecting is a challenge for community builders everywhere. andrewleigh.com/rebuilding_c… #auspol #reconnected

Once you realize p-values are probabilities relating to observing data rather than probabilities of an hypothesis being true, you are already doing significantly better than most people

The findings are quite striking. This shows that: -People infected with delta test positive more quickly following exposure, suggesting more rapid viral growth. -The viral loads (by PCR Ct) are 1000 times higher in delta when first detected.
