To all my microbiology studiers out there. I found this video when I was studying for the virology block of my micro class, and this + sketchy micro was an absolute GODSEND. If you’re struggling with remembering the structures and families of the viruses or prefer flow charts over big tables, CHECK THIS DUDE OUT. I could listen to him talk viruses to me all day. 

Here’s a look at how I implemented it into my First Aid (pages 148, 150).

Hope someone finds this helpful!

She put American lives at risk. By releasing info of soldiers who are killing civilians she put our soldiers, who are still there, at risk. Now extremists have justification for killing us. If she was sO cOncerned about war crimes she should have followed the procedure for that. Because America made it illegal, and we have a procedure to report them ; )) but soldiers are forced to kill so they can’t become witnesses if all of them have done it. I’d ((like to)) say most of them aren’t jumping at the idea of death and taking lives, it’s just a part of war. And who’s to say who the civilians are? Most bombs and ambushes are done by civilians. So why didn’t she do the procedure for reporting war crimes or just leak it to Congress? Cui bono? Who benefits?

Hey, this is literally the closest the government can get to interrogation and they’re just getting away with it, what the fuck hell world

This virus actually may boost -- not weaken -- our immune system

Lifelong cytomegalovirus infection may be beneficial, boosting the immune system in old age, when we need it most, according to a new study in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

Our immune system is at its peak when we’re young, but after a certain age, it declines and it becomes more difficult for our bodies to fight off new infections.

“That’s why older people are more susceptible to infections than younger people,” explains Janko Nikolich-Zugich, MD, PhD, co-director or the University of Arizona Center on Aging and chairman of the Department of Immunobiology at the University of Arizona College of Medicine - Tucson.

In search of a way to rejuvenate the immune system of older adults, Dr. Nikolich-Zugich and Megan Smithey, PhD, have found that one particular virus may not weaken, but actually enhance our immune system. Their findings are published this week in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

The US Is Burning Up, But No One Wants to Talk About The Elephant in The Room

Shhh don't mention it.

It’s hot. Too hot. And climate scientists agree that it’s only going to get hotter. Yet despite the record-breaking heat wave impacting millions of Americans right now, barely anyone in the mainstream media is talking about the elephant in the room.

A new and distressing report from Media Matters reveals that most major broadcast TV networks are completely ignoring the link between unprecedented heat waves and climate change.

In the last week of June, the US was hit by a massive and powerful heat wave stretching right across the country. The dangerous temperatures are like nothing ever seen before, breaking 227 US records in the first week alone.

It would be nice to think that reporters would want to - no, have to - explain to the public why these dangerous and deadly temperatures are becoming more common and more intense. Media Matter’s recent analysis puts that hopeful assumption to rest.

The report analyzed two weeks of TV segments on ABC, CBS and NBC. Out of all 127 segments featuring the US heat wave, only one bothered to mention climate change.
