“'We estimate that over a seven-year follow-up period, the shingles vaccine averts one in five new dementia diagnoses,' says Dr. Pascal Geldsetzer, an assistant professor of medicine at Stanford University and senior author of the study.
The findings were replicated in a similar study in JAMA this year, looking at seniors in Australia when the government rolled out a similar shingles-vaccine program."

This is a nice application of #machinelearning in #magneticfusion: deep-learning event recognition for IR images at #Wendelstein7X by Polish colleagues from Politechnika Łódzka, with my small help. Our IR cameras produce more data than physicists can inspect frame by frame, so an AI now flags hot spots and tracks strike lines fast enough to protect the machine during shots.

Hello, I'm a Social Worker from Mexico City. I'm interested in studying my discipline from a #Science and Technology Studies perspective.
Some other interests are: #philosophy of social sciences, #epistemology, scientific #practices and #community social work.
I want to connect with other people in the social sciences and in the #humanities to broaden my network.

See you all around!!
Here’s a short clip from the control room of the Large Helical Device at NIFS — the world’s largest heliotron investigating magnetically confined fusion plasmas. 🔥 #Fusion #Science
On the small screens, you can see a plasma discharge in progress. We recently achieved the longest detached discharges ever in a heliotron.

For more than a century, a smelter spewed lead dust over Omaha.
For decades, the government cleaned it up.
But a shift in guidance from the Trump administration may stop thousands more from potential cleanup, exposing families to the harmful metal.
