Die Familie des #Ebola-Patienten – inklusive seiner Kinder – hatte ein hohes Risiko, ebenfalls an Ebola zu erkranken. Aufgrund der hohen Sterblichkeit insbesondere für Kleinkinder entschied sich das behandelnde #CharitéBerlin-Team, ein Medikament erstmals vorbeugend einzusetzen. Die Erkenntnisse in unserem zweiten Paper spotlight:

😱 What do Mary Shelley’s gothic horror novel Frankenstein, the fall of the Mongol Empire, Edvard Munch’s haunting painting titled The Scream, and the Black Death all have in common?

🌋 Volcanoes!

Scientists are finding links between these world-changing events and artistic feats and huge volcanic eruptions that happened hundreds—sometimes thousands—of miles away.

🤳 Instead of trying, most likely vainly, to implement wholesale bans on social media for young people, many researchers are arguing that it is time to tighten control of the social media algorithms: the rules that dictate how content will be fed to users.

@albertcardona #Scientists could get better discovered, if they used hashtags or activate being visible in Mastodon's search (which is opt-in). Too many are invisible without doing it.
I subscribed to important hashtags and get these posts automatically in my TL, so I can discover specialists, if only they use them.
