Wait, what are you trying to say Le Enrico?  

 

He's talking about chronotypes Very interesting video.

Thanks for the video, I just finished watching it and it was super interesting, just like you said! I agree on those 3 basic chronotypes, but I'm not sure if there's room for the dolphins (they're just depressed wolves?)   

I'm definitely a wolf, but I have qualities from other chronotypes as well  

 

What's your chronotype?

Definitely a wolf.

I think the traits that he mentions are more or less a general pattern, but with a very wide dispersion on all the parameters (like often in medicine).

Very interesting video and a bit surprising for some parts, but if there's data behind it, then it's really food for thought.

I'll have to check the studies he mentions.

Covid-19: politicisation, “corruption,” and suppression of science

sometimes I see middle aged men and teenaged boys walk outside in winter weather (such as today- it was 20 degrees F with windchill) in nothing but windbreaker, gloves and shorts.    IT is always ???? to me.  My guess is that they have a high metabolism or something.

@Matt! 10 December 1896: 124 years ago, one of the best Swede in history passed away. He was a really great guy: great scientist/inventor, he loved peace and he was a true philanthropist.

Wow, that's impressive. I hear it's not perfect, but still very impressive.

From experience after it's been past -30c for a week anything above -10c feels like summer, at least right after

You know what you did and yes he was a great man

I dunno what's going to happen with the vaccine, but it's amazing to see that they could make it in a year. Science is not perfect, but it's still awesome and it gets better every year!

 

We should cherish scientists.

Despite all the negative and terrible things that happened because of Covid (and they are really horrible), there's still some good that will come out of this: medical research has progressed very fast, we have knowledge on how to (and how not to) manage a pandemic, countries will make strategic stockpiles of masks, etc.

I gotta friend that works, as a computer engineer, on proteomics. The efficiency and accuracy of their job has increased a lot in the past years.  There are many applications, like studying the spike protein (and its mutations) in Covid.

 

Once again, the world owes a lot to geeks and nerds.
