Guten Abend, liebe Twitter/X-Bubble💫Vom Sofa🙌 Heute viel geräumt, die Menschen, die wir in den letzten Tagen gesehen und die geführten Gespräche sacken lassen. Abendessen im teuren, fancy Restaurant mit t neu kennengelernten Leuts abgesagt - keine falschen Verpflichtungen 😉

The original is too easy. All the good stuff is in Region E. I made a more difficult version:

You just won a 2-week, all-expenses-paid vacation. But there’s a catch: you have to stay within one region the whole time. What are you picking?

A Norwegian neuroscientist spent 20 years proving that the act of writing by hand changes the human brain in ways typing physically cannot, and almost nobody outside her field has read the paper. Her name is Audrey van der Meer. She runs a brain research lab in Trondheim, and the paper that closed the argument was published in 2024 in a journal called Frontiers in Psychology. The finding is brutal enough that it should have changed every classroom on Earth. The experiment was simple. She recruited 36 university students and put each one in a cap with 256 sensors pressed against their scalp to record brain activity. Words flashed on a screen one at a time. Sometimes the students wrote the word by hand on a touchscreen using a digital pen, and sometimes they typed the same word on a keyboard. Every neural response was recorded for the full five seconds the word stayed on screen. Then her team looked at the part of the data most researchers had ignored for years, which is how different parts of the brain were communicating with each other during the task. When the students wrote by hand, the brain lit up everywhere at once. The regions responsible for memory, sensory integration, and the encoding of new information were all firing together in a coordinated pattern that spread across the entire cortex. The whole network was awake and connected. When the same students typed the same word, that pattern collapsed almost completely. Most of the brain went quiet, and the connections between regions that had been alive seconds earlier were nowhere to be found on the EEG. Same word, same brain, same person, and two completely different neurological events. The reason turned out to be something nobody had really paid attention to before her work. Writing by hand is not one motion but a sequence of thousands of tiny micro-movements coordinated with your eyes in real time, where each letter is a different shape that requires the brain to solve a slightly different spatial problem. Your fingers, wrist, vision, and the parts of your brain that track position in space are all working together to produce one letter, then the next, then the next. Typing throws all of that away. Every key on a keyboard requires the exact same finger motion regardless of which letter you are pressing, which means the brain has almost nothing to integrate and almost no problem to solve. Van der Meer said it plainly in her interviews. Pressing the same key with the same finger over and over does not stimulate the brain in any meaningful way, and she pointed out something that should scare every parent who handed their kid an iPad. Children who learn to read and write on tablets often cannot tell letters like b and d apart, because they have never physically felt with their bodies what it takes to actually produce those letters on a page. A decade before her, two researchers at Princeton ran the same fight using a completely different method and ended up at the same answer. Pam Mueller and Daniel Oppenheimer tested 327 students across three experiments, where half took notes on laptops with the internet disabled and half took notes by hand, before testing everyone on what they actually understood from the lectures they had watched. The handwriting group won by a wide margin on every question that required real understanding rather than surface recall. The reason was hiding in the transcripts of what the two groups had actually written down. The laptop students typed almost word for word, capturing more total content but processing almost none of it as they went, while the handwriting students physically could not write fast enough to transcribe a lecture in real time, which forced them to listen carefully, decide what actually mattered, and put it in their own words on the page. That single act of choosing what to keep was the learning itself, and the keyboard had quietly skipped the choosing and skipped the learning along with it. Two studies. Two countries. Same answer. Handwriting makes the brain work. Typing lets it coast. Every note you have ever typed instead of written went into your brain through a thinner pipe. Every meeting, every book highlight, every idea you captured on your phone instead of on paper was processed at half depth. You did not forget those things because your memory is bad. You forgot them because typing never woke the part of the brain that would have made them stick. The fix is the thing your grandmother already knew. Pick up a pen. Write the thing down. The slower road is the faster one.

Das Hantavirus wurde bisher nur durch Nagetier-Ausscheidungen übertragen. Bei den aktuellen Fällen handelt es sich jedoch um einen neuen „Anden-Typ“, der erstmals von Mensch zu Mensch übertragbar ist – vor allem über winzige Aerosole in der Luft, ähnlich wie bei Corona. Die Entstehung dieser Variante ist unklar. Bemerkenswert: Am 05.05.24 gab Moderna eine umfassende Kooperation mit dem Vaccine Innovation Center Korea bekannt, um einen mRNA-Hantavirus-Impfstoff zu entwickeln. „Rein zufällig“ hat Moderna damit bereits eine passende Impfung in der Pipeline und will kurzfristig die Notfallzulassung beantragen. Die WHO hat das HorizonX-Programm gestartet. Dazu gehörten Polaris I (3.–4. April 2025) mit über 15 Ländern (u. a. Deutschland), 350 Experten und einem fiktiven „Mammothpox“-Virus, das u. a. auf einem Kreuzfahrtschiff ‼️simuliert wurde – erster Test des Global Health Emergency Corps (GHEC). Polaris II (22.–23. April 2026) mit 26 Ländern, 600 Experten, UNICEF und Ärzte ohne Grenzen simulierte die globale Ausbreitung eines fiktiven Bakteriums mit Fokus auf internationale Zusammenarbeit, KI-Tools und Notfallpläne. Auffällig bei der aktuellen Berichterstattung ist die Verbindung zu Rachel Rosmarin, Schwester von Jake Rosemarin - dem Passagier auf der MV Hontius, von dem aktuell überall Videos aus seiner Kanine zu sehen sind. Sie hat einen Master in Public Health und arbeitet bei Hagerty Consulting, einem Krisenmanagement-Unternehmen, das ca. 10 Mrd. Dollar verwaltet und nur Wochen vor 9/11 gegründet wurde. Das koordinierte Hantavirus-Marketing von Jonas Schmidt-Chanasit (BNITM Hamburg, selbst Hantavirus-Promovend), Christian Drosten und Stefan Pöhlmann wirkt auffallend abgestimmt. Drei Tote (alle 69 ) auf einem Kreuzfahrtschiff, das Temperaturen von -5 bis 30 °C ausgesetzt war und vor sechs Wochen startete, sind ungewöhnlich, aber je nach Gesundheitszustand der Passagiere nicht ausgeschlossen.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Anmerkung: große Teile der Informationen im letzten Absatz dieses Tweets stammen von @FrauHodl, ich kann euch nur empfehlen ihr zu folgen, weil sie erstklassig recherchiert.
