Intensive exercise, which generates a high degree of shear stress, destroys circulating tumor cells. As a quirk of cancer cell biology, many types of metastatic cancer cells are vulnerable to shear stress created by blood flow itself. However, it's important to recognize that

Did you ever wonder why our marrow is located inside of our *bones*, #MedTwitter? There’s no a priori anatomical reason it should be sited there. Blood cells could form in our spleens & livers, as they do during our fetal lives; or elsewhere, as in some animals. Let’s discuss! /1

Wow. The CEO of Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, currently implicated in allegations of widespread sloppiness and misconduct doubled her salary in 2022 to $4 million. Note that this is a non-profit institute. Well, there ain't no profits if it all goes to the CEO!

Interesting results regarding the quickly decreasing wakefulness inducing potential of the locus coeruleus and how intense LC activity leads to sleep afterwards: biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Now in press! A new perspective on the age-related positivity effect. Or a paper in which I argue with my previous self. In this theoretical review I propose a framework to explain the HRV/emotion conundrum in aging. osf.io/preprints/psya… #hrv #locuscoeruleus #aging

Here are 10 remarkable times when people admitted they had been wrong. Examples like these help promote the healthy norm of admitting when we've made a mistake (since mistakes are just a part of being human) so that we can all learn and grow: admitting being wrong megathread đź§µ
