I had my implants removed.
People don't realize that mutilating their bodies has consequences.

Building Blocks of Memory in the Brain
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X5trRLX7PQY&t=1460s
This video describes memory formation and retention as a competition between different neurons.
I have heard this before.
I wonder if more biological processes involve competition between cells. We know that some cells self-destruct when they detect a defect or an infection. Competition might be a method by which biology optimizes its functioning.

Profound in a small way. Four weeks ago, Hank Greene announced that he had cancer.

Chemo is Weird, Y'all
Been watching this YouTuber, Hank Green, for about 13 years. (The first video I saw is this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yRRGaxx8Zf4)
A couple of weeks ago he announced that he had lymphoma: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x6a4hMyiwBo
He alternates making youtube videos with his brother John, who wrote the book, "The Fault in Our Stars" which was made into a terrific movie. John Green appears in a deleted scene of the movie: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PEEQ6-4nKYQ

"I looked at the recent bird flu data, and now I'm really scared."
An elderly friend of mine in Salt Lake City died from the flu.
According to the video, there is no pandemic of the Bird Flu right now, but conditions are ripe for one to happen. It has infected animals close enough to humans for it to have the potential to spread to people.
The video claims that public officials are trying to prevent an outbreak. It would be good if we could avoid another pandemic.

Does COVID Mess With Your DNA?
https://youtu.be/6q_Sf4I0Bp0
What I gather from the video is that the methylation of genes is a natural bodily response to infection. People with long COVID appear to have overly persistent and/or inappropriate methylation leading to chronic inflammation.
