2024-11-12 02:14:07 Alongside my marvel at the intricacy of the immune system, I now keep a commensurate respect for the deviousness of many pathogens. Mosquito nets, sewage systems, clean drinking water, air purifiers, N95s in public spaces, &
2024-11-12 02:14:06 Focusing solely on the impressive coordination of the human immune system, without considering the methods that pathogens have developed for counterattacks, can lull people into a false sense of confidence that disease prevention is unnecessary. 7/
2024-11-12 02:14:05 Macrophage literally means “big eater”. These immune cells contain bags of acid to acidify and ingest invaders. Yet several types of bacteria (including C. burnetii and Tuberculosis) have evolved strategies for thriving INSIDE of macrophages. 5/ https://t.co/M6TWWAYrUg

This can create a negative cycle, where they are relying on screens (in low-quality… https://t.co/wqZ9mqpyYj
2024-10-29 01:09:31 @msanparr 2. Creative screen-options shouldn't just be for kids of "cognitive elite", but media articles will often **only** discuss addictive content, imply all use of iPads is addictive, and not give suggestions on all the positive alternatives.
2024-10-29 01:06:42 @msanparr There are several, related threads to the screentime discourse: 1. It is bolstering a growing obsession with in-person school attendance and a failure to consider other creative solutions for learning (which would be useful for kids who shouldn't be at school while sick)

2024-07-08 22:56:29 Since T cell receptors are made of protein, and they bind to small proteins, understanding proteins is an important component of understanding T cells.

2022-06-04 10:31:53 @DaveMathias Thanks, I'll check it out. I think my wording was confusing. I meant debunking misunderstandings/clarifying what it does vs does not say, what is supported vs not.
2022-06-04 08:35:20 @luellabentley15 Yes, I'd like to read an article on that!
2022-06-04 06:17:32 @1CeliaGreen Agreed. It's weird to see how widespread this belief is.

2022-06-04 06:07:05 @StrivingAlly I don't think that is what the hygiene hypothesis actually says (hence my use of "misunderstandings"), but I think many are misinterpreting it. I was more looking for an article on what the hygiene hypothesis does and does not say
2022-06-04 02:08:42 Q: is there a good article debunking misunderstandings of the hygiene hypothesis? Eg explaining that catching every virus doesn't make your immune system stronger. I'm looking for an article I could share with others, not a brief twitter explanation.
