Edward C. Kendall was born #OTD in 1886. He won the 1949 #LaskerAward and the 1950 #NobelPrize for isolating and studying #hormones from the adrenal glands. 🧪http://ow.ly/EgVl30nL5RO

30 years of #SimThyr in #Marchintosh 2026: #SimThyr 2.0 on a Mac SE with Mac OS Antares 6.0.7 and SimThyr 4.0.6 on a MacBook Air with macOS Ventura 13.7.

Thanks to the fact that the code was based on the #Pascal programming language, the software is highly portable, but runs with full native speed.

The common denominator is narcissism and machiavellism. The other themes are a means to this end.

Carbon Dioxide Overload: Why Human Blood is Becoming More Acidic This blog post and the “Deep Dive” podcast, created by NotebookLM, are based on “Carbon dioxide overload, detected in human blood, suggests a potentially toxic atmosphere within 50 years” by Larcom…

A new article shows why rising atmospheric CO2 is acidifying our blood and weakening our skeleton - the human (and animal) biological equivalent of "ocean acidification". 🌊🧪 ocean2climate.org/2026/03/01/c...

Aus der Veröffentlichung über Parteispenden des Deutschen Bundestags für das Jahr 2026: 50.000 Euro an die CDU von Dr. Arend Oetker, Bismarckallee 22, 14193 Berlin am 23.01.2026.

Das ist nur folgerichtig, wenn man erst vor vier Wochen eine nicht zu knausrige Spende von Dr. Oetker bekommen hat.

« Un déclin sans précédent » : la population des oiseaux des champs est en chute libre, alerte la LPO Les populations d’oiseaux des milieux agricoles en France ont chuté de 32,5 % depuis 2001, victimes de l’intensification des pratiques agricoles destructrices de leur environnement ou de leurs sources...

De moins en moins de haies et de zones humides, de plus en plus de pesticides. Résultats ? 20 millions d’oiseaux disparaissent chaque année en Europe

New calculation offers simple and reliable early prediction of diabetes Diabetes often remains undetected until it has already damaged organs or nerves. This is partly due to the fact that diagnosis at an early stage is time-consuming and difficult.

Diagnosis of #diabetes mellitus and #prediabetes: A simple calculation may be better than a complex test.

Pairing Weight Training With GLP-1 Therapy for Optimal Weight Management By reinforcing exercise, health care providers can ensure that GLP-1 therapy leads to weight loss, sustains muscle mass, and improves health.

GLP-1 therapy should be combined with structured physical activity with resistance training to allow patients to maintain lean body mass, enhance their metabolic health, and prevent their loss of functional independence.

Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Figure from the paper showing the experimental paradigm. Shortly, participants were asked to memorize the orientation of coloured bars before being presented with an arithmetic task.

Plot from the paper: Significant clusters showing the main effects of interruption averaged across duration conditions with the topographies marking the distribution of two significant clusters over the scalp. The vertical dashed lines indicate the onsets of the retro-cue (0 ms) and the memory probe (1,000 ms).

In working life, interruptions are widespread and can impair task performance. In an #EEG experiment that was controlled by software written in #Lazarus and #Free_Pascal, researchers found that temporal flexibility can benefit subgroups of workers.
