Here’s the recording of my talk for @GlobalPlantGPC on my personal journey in science - the QandA ended up being a career advice session. Frank and personal.

“A sense of patients being unreliable sources about their own lives” Ed Yong on #LongCovid #ME
Adam@ABrokenBatterySep 16
Having the reality of your illness denied “is almost as bad as the actual physical symptoms themselves.” Ed Yong, speaking about #LongCovid patients being disbelieved and dismissed, and how gender and racial bias affect their care.

Covid-19 is surging across the US right now. I’ve been inundated on social media lately with nasty stories from people sick for WEEKS with fatigue, razor blade throat, headaches, lingering cough, etc You may be super healthy, fit or believe in conspiracies like that “it’s just a cold”…but trust me Covid can and will fuck your life up. I was healthier than most and I’m still dealing with consequences from a Covid infection in 2023. Needless to say, please heed caution…N95 masks are super effective. You do not want to end up like me because you thought “meh, no big deal.”

Denis - The COVID info guy -@BigBadDenisAug 7
Cardiologists advise annual flu and COVID-19 shots for those with heart disease, plus pneumococcal, RSV (50+) and shingles (50+) vaccines. "Annual COVID-19 vaccines have been linked to reduced risks of myocardial infarction, stroke, heart failure events and all-cause mortality"
A photograph from a Cardiovascular Business article titled "Cardiologists share vaccine recommendations for heart patients: Flu, COVID-19 and more." The image depicts a medical setting where a middle-aged Black man in a white button-down shirt is sitting and receiving an injection in his left upper arm. A female healthcare professional with short blonde hair, wearing a white lab coat and a pink stethoscope around her neck, is carefully administering the vaccine. Two other women stand closely behind them in the background, observing the procedure. The accompanying text snippet details that the American College of Cardiology has released updated guidance emphasizing the critical importance of vaccination for individuals with a history of cardiovascular disease (CVD).

Hey @Avis, I recently left a bad review of Avis Car Hire - Heathrow Airport: " Beware! They charged me for damage I did not do (even with photos)." (understatement). Got no response. You asked me to reply on the socials -sent a DM on Instagram. Still waiting. #AvisUK

Many in our community need longer appointments to get wrap-around care for complex health conditions, yet the government refuses to lift rebates to support this model of care. I asked about this in question time today.
