Today in Science Without Anguish: how failing to notice when the wind is behind us makes us believe the world is against us when things don’t go our way. https://t.co/GEgyc83776

In our latest review with @DoctorPAF, we explore the breadth of therapeutic potential for the neurodegenerative enzyme SARM1. We discuss: -Challenges for SARM1 inhibition for neuroprotection -Roles in non-neuronal cells -SARM1 activation for selective peripheral neuroablation
Targeting SARM1: from inhibition for neuroprotection to activation for neuroablation https://t.co/r9ej9H7NT1

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview in March 2025 with the understanding it would only be released after her death. This is her final message from it.

Great to have this out: wonderful team effort, & nice to build on work from others that had identified the dysregulated osteoarthritis lipidome 😃
The sphingolipid sphingomyelin 34:1 is upregulated in the synovial fluid during OA. This study shows that SM34:1 causes inflammatory pain in mice and induces neuronal hyperexcitability. Great work: @psalmotoxin @interlukein @mayadannawi @LanhuiQiu @BeckyRickman @UnivCamPharm

Science Without Anguish Series 3 in out: Don’t believe everything you think! What happens when we confuse our mental shortcuts with reality? Why we excuse ourselves but blame others. And why we don’t realise we’re making life harder for ourselves. https://t.co/5JMA8h2PZM

How much of what we think we ‘know’ is just trust in the person that told us? And what price do we pay for confusing the two? Coming soon in Science Without Anguish: ‘Don’t believe everything you think!’ https://t.co/Vw3pE1igMs Starts Monday 22nd Sep

Both lie about what is really going on (there is no way all seats were gone 3h before flight @British_Airways) & once in an emotional state because of @British_Airways’ unprofessional treatment of a loyal customer you’re easy prey for a scammer. Thanks @Barclays for stopping this
Here’s the problem: there is little difference between @British_Airways insisting I download Swiipr app and put the card in Apple Wallet just to get a £10 sandwich and a scammer’s insistence I download LemFi app and enter debit card to get compensation for a 24h flight delay.

A warning to other users that someone just tried to scam me via @Chat_BA_hub. A contact from a genuine BA employee would be appreciated. You know how to reach me.

So @BritishAirTm7 apparently ‘liked’ my post! You just don’t get it do you @British_Airways?

Waiting to hear from @British_Airways why they overbook their flights so much that they had to deny an @AviosHelp member arriving 3h5min before their flight a seat on BA0229 today. You have a LOT of explaining to do and a reputation to salvage. Do get in touch won’t you?
