   William Dement, known as the father of sleep medicine, dies at 91 His work changed my understanding of sleep (when I was a post-doc!), which helps me to be a more thoughtful and productive scientist now.

That thing is testing. Testing for COVID-19 in the community is one â*¦ Continu…

   I wish this really were the second wave (how sad is that?), because I suspect the truth is worse: this is just wave 1.5, since we never escaped wave 1.

    "C 50" It is 50 days since Texas essentially ceded the battlefield (the human population) to the SARS-CoV-2 virus. By racing to open back up the economy, without first putting in place reliable metrics, benchmarks, and health investigation foundations, Texas abandoned its people mostly unarmed to an enemy. Thankfully, those of us who donâ**t view the requirement â*¦ Co…
