There is a phenomenon of regressive autism partially responsive to vancomycin in Somali children in Ontario, Canada that was the centre of a documentary (Nature of Things on the CBC) and that launched the “Bacterial Theory of Autism” into the zeitgeist for many people. oadd.org/wp-content/u... 1/2

I agree… humans love short cuts and “metrics” (Yelp, Rate my Professor, H-index) - we constantly seek to remove the cognitive burden from everything from choosing a restaurant to hiring someone. Editors are going to love this… a lot of F1000-type labs will adopt and then it is “weaponized”.

Anyone using ESI or EFTEM? You use a post-column spectrometer to generate images of chromatin elemental Phos. and Nitrogen content, with 5 nm resolution. I ask, as I still think as a technique for visualizing chromatin it is GOATED, see Rapkin 2012 Micron www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

I have seen this a couple times, usually late afternoon or dusk. I think another term is cloud iridescence or if really cold - nacreous clouds. Here is one from last year that I captured.👇

I was looking at historical averages... only as far back as 2018 the average CIHR grant was $740K and 4.4 years long. Yeah funding is bad everywhere... and austerity is coming for us in Canada, expect 15% cut. Time to pivot to "Borealis" ready projects.
