It's shocking how little is known about the brainstem red nucleus. In our new paper β€œThe human brainstem’s red nucleus was upgraded to support goal-directed action” out now in @naturecomms.bsky.social we show that current thinking on the red nucleus is in need of a serious upgrade. rdcu.be/ehbOy

πŸ’— Thank you everyone for your valuable advocacy & energy for #LongCovidAwarenessDay

It shouldn't be necessary but because #LongCovid is:
🚨 Multisystem
🚨 Devastating
🚨 Biological

And we are nowhere near effective treatments & care we still need to campaign because every life is precious

On #LongCovidAwarenessDay I want to draw attention to the fact that many people are still living with the effects of Covid, and they often struggle to get the support they need. Government must do much more on research, support, and prevention.

In the center of the circle are drawings of medication pills and capsules of various shapes and sizes. Also, there are red circles with a diagonal line through the middle covering some of the coronaviruses in the frame, symbolizing elimination of  coronavirus infection and stopping long COVID.

March 15 is long COVID Awareness Day.
Some people have been dealing with long COVID for **5 YEARS** now. We need more RCTs testing repurposed drugs for treatment of long COVID!

5 Years Later, Women Are Still Living With Long Covid March 2020. Say that date, and everyone will shudder.

It's Long COVID Awareness Day.
Why might women be more susceptible to long COVID than men? I suspect it might be in part due to women being more susceptible to autoimmune/inflammatory conditions triggered by viral infections. What do you think?

Long Covid Awareness Day.

We have to focus on what's going on regarding this raging pandemic. Long Covid is a worldwide disabling event, affecting millions upon millions of people.

Also, let's remind people that you get Long Covid because you've been infected with sars2. Do wear a respirator!

Long Covid patients that I see are getting younger. Avoid infections, breathe clean air, wear a respirator. Covid is airborne.There’s no treatment for Covid or long covid. Covid damages organs, immune system, can maim and cause death. Mitigate!

To LC patients- I see you.
We stand together.
