Great summary thread on 🦣: https://fediscience.org/@MarkHanson/111147239095599059

My friend from graduate school (first author here) pulled me in to do some machine learning in a really interesting dataset.

In brief, we found that there are (at least) 2 distinct causes of what are currently lumped together as "long covid".

I'd love to have one for [email protected], and I have this sketch I made that I'd be happy to use, but it doesn't quite fit the style of other communities:

Is someone in particular making these, or are they coming from a particular place?

I'm gonna try to post about research that I read here, mostly because I need more incentives to read papers. But if people want to post pictures of pretty microbes, or the other stuff that tends to be popular on Reddit, I'm down with that too

👋 Hi Everyone, I'm a computational microbiologist studying how the get microbiome affects child development. I used to be an immunologist, and still dabble in that for research as well.

I write code primarily in the julia langage (though I can python and R a bit too), and I'm also into fermentation (shout-out to the fermentation community on this instance), gardening, rock climbing, and Zen Buddhism.

I'm part of the reddit exodus, looking forward to seeing more of the fediverse grow! If you're a mastodon user, I'm also over there, though not nearly as active as I plan to be here (twitter was never my thing either).
