Only 10 cases of Guinea worm disease were recorded *globally* last year.

It may become the second human disease we eradicate, after smallpox.

Today, we are also dropping Neuroglyphs: Secrets of Medullary Pyramid! www.neurdgames.com/neuroglyphs

This is a 2-player game about the anatomy of the brainstem, set in Egypt in the 1920s.

My kids love the entirely made-up fact that you need 4 hugs a day to survive and 12 to grow. Also, every hug needs to be 20 seconds or it doesn't work. It's science, y'all.
But anyway today is National Hug Day, so go get your daily 12🫂

I started reading up on the whole "loneliness pandemic" narrative because this seems like a literature where the age-period-cohort problem may be relevant (or maybe it isn't?).

Here's data from Australia (HILDA), average agreement with the statement "I often feel very lonely" (SD of ca. 1.8).>

❓Q: Candida in the urine? Should you treat?

✅ A: Usually not. Candiduria almost always reflects colonization, not infx. It should prompt elimination of risk factors- e.g., d/c indwelling catheters rather than antifungal tx🚫
