A man with end-stage renal disease who earlier this year became the first human to receive a new kidney from a genetically modified pig has died, Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston said....
They tried this with a monkey kidney too. Xeno transplants are hard because of hormones differences (I guess the genetic modification here was supposed to help). We just know so so little in medicine and biology in general.
The UN general assembly has voted overwhelmingly to back the Palestinian bid for full UN membership, in a move that signalled Israel’s growing isolation on the world stage amid global alarm over the war in Gaza and the extent of the humanitarian crisis in the strip. The move drew an immediate rebuke from Israel. Its envoy to...
I watched most of the South African case. You only need to watch the 10min-30min window where they just quote all their Israeli leaders making explicit calls for genocide....
So far they’ve been focusing on leaning on allies dismissing it out of hand rather than any of the evidence - because the evidence points to them carrying out a genocide and they’ve broadcasted their intent to do so quite happily in Hebrew.
Probably a shitty combo of the daiichi discharge with climate change warming waters and fucking up marine ecosystems. In a healthier ecosystem the fishery mightve been more resilient but having both happen probably means the animals and plants that live there can’t handle perturbations and any small change in pollution anymore.
The clients thing was in nursing school too, the older guard thought “patient” implied too much power dynamics over the person in question. I didn’t get that literally at all, none of my classmates did, none of my coworkers do - unless you’re over 55 and in academia and haven’t been a floor nurse in over a decade. The profs insisted client was a better term because it leveled the implied hierarchy - but all of us thought it was gross because it’s a business term.
Psychology has a repeatability problem. Turns out Zimbardo wasn’t completely honest about how hands-off the researchers were. The Stanford Prison Experiment is the latest famous experiment in psychology that is proving difficult to reproduce....
The other thing people point to is the prisoner dilemma - ignoring that the payoff matrix is under our control, we can build a payoff matrix/society were collaboration and solidarity are the only rational choices regardless if it’s “human nature” to be selfish.
I’m a heavy emoji user, texting is such a poor medium for communication, many times people get the wrong message, but with an emoji you’ll get an idea of the face I’m making, so less chance of misunderstanding...
Losing weight will only really help your self esteem (probably your health in general which can be appealing to others as well). You’re putting yourself out there which is important, try not to make everything you do a search for a potential romance though lol.
25 is very young to think you’ll never meet someone. Doctors and Lawyers can take a while to get to finish school so you’re not exactly alone. If you’re awkward at 25 it’s not a big deal tbh, don’t sweat being the only single guy in your friend group. I’m sure there’s a few guys you know in committed relationships who may wish to trade places with you
