🔗 Connecting dots of long COVID-19 pathogenesis: a vagus nerve- hypothalamic-pituitary- adrenal-mitochondrial axis dysfunction frontiersin.org/journals/cellu…
> According to our theory, the direct mitochondrial damage carried out by the virus, which replicates within these organelles, and the cellular oxidative imbalance, cannot be countered in patients who develop LC. This is because their anti-inflammatory mechanisms are inconsistent due to reduced vagal tone and direct damage to the endocrine glands of the HPA axis. We will illustrate how acetylcholine (ACh) and cortisol, with its cytoplasmatic and cellular receptors respectively, are fundamental players in the LC process. Both Ach and cortisol play multifaceted and synergistic roles in reducing inflammation. They achieve this by modulating the activity of innate and cell-mediated immunity, attenuating endothelial and platelet activation, and modulating mitochondrial function, which is crucial for cellular energy production and anti-inflammatory mechanisms. In our opinion, it is essential to study the sensitivity of the glucocorticoids receptor in people who develop LC and whether SARS-CoV-2 can cause long-term epigenetic variations in its expression and function.
So, apparently this Claw Machine appeared in my brother's office overnight. I don't know why, but it just looks dystopian, like an episode of Black Mirror. He asked about it, and they told him it was put there to boost morale over the holidays. One might think it would be free to play then, right? Oh no, you have to do extra work to earn tokens or pay. Nothing like Upper Management to both demoralize and insult everyone with their Morale Boosting plan.

Happy Birthday to Sister Mary Kenneth Keller (Dec 17, 1913 – Jan 10, 1985), the first PhD in computer science in the US.
In 1958, Keller began working at the NSF workshop in the computer science center at Dartmouth College, a male-only institution at the time, where she participated in the implementation of the first DTSS BASIC Kernel for the language, working under John G. Kemeny and Thomas E. Kurtz.

J. J. Thomson, who was born #OTD in 1856, received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1906 for his discovery of the electron, the first subatomic particle to be found.
Thomson was also a teacher, and seven of his students went on to win Nobel Prizes: Ernest Rutherford, Lawrence Bragg, Charles Barkla, Francis Aston, Charles Thomson Rees Wilson, Owen Richardson and Edward Victor Appleton.

A great paper on the effects of RTO mandates. In news that will surprise no one with half a brain:
For a long time, companies were excited about offshoring because it meant that they could take advantage of a global labour force to increase supply and drive down labour costs. Now they’re starting to see the flip side: with a lot of places offering remote work, the demand is also global and they are competing with companies worldwide. If you don’t offer a good work-life balance for your best people, someone else will and they may be anywhere in the world.
After running a successful research project at Microsoft with a team spanning several thousand miles between the furthest members, I was quite surprised to be told that we all needed to come back into the lab because research requires people to be face to face. Especially by people who had spent two years doing nothing to promote collaboration and who were pushing policies that would exclude my close collaborators in other countries.
At SCI, we’re remote first. My most recent hire is on a boat in the South Pacific. As long as people can communicate and have a decent Internet connection, I don’t care where they are (the accountants may, for tax purposes). You need to actively build teams when people are remote, just as when they’re local. Mostly of the people who felt RTO was important were the ones who weren’t doing this in either setting and were relying on similarity biases to create teams (I’d love to see a correlation between managers who advocate RTO and managers who have a higher turnover for folks who are not white cishet males: I suspect it would be strong).
