I have had people tell me that I am lucky to have the unintentional weight loss.
Kate Middleton's appearance -- as one of the most photographed people in the world! -- is proof that you can't tell someone has cancer (or is on treatment) just by looking at them Her weight has fueled all sorts of speculation, and unintentional loss is one sign of malignancy (caloric balance can shift unfavorably on both sides: less intake with appetite suppression, more consumption by hypercatabolism) But even once systemic therapy begins not all chemo causes hair loss, vomiting, or immunosuppression I often tell my trainees that, in the oncology waiting room, they may not be able to distinguish the patients from their caregivers! So once again we shouldn't leap to conclusions based on superficial judgments, whether it's celebrities (see also: Chadwick Boseman) or our neighbors To quote Philip Larkin: We should be careful, of each other, we should be kind While there is still time

I am not able to attend #aaba2024 this year and it makes me very very sad. I understand that several colleagues are unable to go as well. So…. Please tweet everything! The science, the fun, and the friendships! We need it!

Very similar to that scary Jack in the Box toy. I hope those have been canceled.
Why does a can of biscuits open like that. Is life not scary enough

I knew I would like the show #Elsbeth due to the amazing actress Carrie Preston and the character! But they used the word “syllabuses” is the show instead of syllabi. Big fan!

Thanks @StevenBartlett for such a great discussion on #DiaryOfACeo of how lifestyle modifications can impact brain health. The take home message: moving more and sitting less is one of the key pillars of preventing cognitive decline as we get older.
Out Now: The Brain Professor reveals why this common treat may be deadlier than smoking! 🧠 Professor @DavidRaichlen is an expert in Human and Evolutionary Biology at USC. An incredible honour to be able to dive into HIS brain to truly understand the vital link between physical activity and brain health. We explore: - Why exercising in green space is so important - The alarming truth about sitting & brain health - The health implications of WFH This episode is an urgent call to rethink our lifestyles for the sake of our brains and overall health - this is especially important if you work in an office job or work from home. 👉🏽 Watch Now g2ul0.app.link/DavidDOAC

You know what I realized about Ai images in your marketing? It sends out the message that you've got no budget. It's the digital equivalent of wearing an obviously fake Chanel bag. Your whole brand immediately appears feeble and impoverished
