The Nobel Prize went to optogenetics.

Optogenetics allows you to control neurons with light.

On the potential astroturfing, check the account age. I double-check in forums with decade-old accounts before buying stuff right now. Workable line of defense against pollution.

Surprised this hasn‘t been mentioned at all in such a long discussion:

I became pretty suspicious of most supplement brands last year. Many omega-3 capsules are rancid (which can have adverse effects and can easily go unnoticed with a capsule), and the vitamin D brands I tried didn‘t seem to do anything for me at all.

I switched to cod liver oil instead. It‘s a staple in Scandinavian cultures, so there are several well-controlled brands available that taste neutral (or are lightly flavored, e.g. lemon). It’s a combined substance containing omega 3, vitamins D, E, and A, and appears to be much more bioavailable than many capsule-based supplements, especially given the oxidation issues. Don’t want to prime anyone - try it yourself - but many people, myself included, report fairly immediate effects. I am not talking about the capsules, they are a fairly recent invention, I mean the plain oil on a spoon like in the old days.

Alongside magnesium, it’s currently my only „supplement“.

He tried for a month, next to his regular treatments and then called Makis who is currently promoting it a quack.

I went into a biosciences/AI PhD with CS/AI background because I wanted to dedicate a few years of my work life to science. So did quite a few other CS / AI grads around me and supervised by me. Few expected to bother with the academic career track and ridiculous conditions afterwards, they all expected to go straight into stable industry or gov AI jobs afterwards.

MRI techs do not think about it cost when life is at danger. If someone is in life danger due to the magnet, you quench. This is standard MRI education.

I think the big question here is why they didn’t..

„In the description of the fundraiser, which had raised more than $3,300 by Monday morning, Bodden said her mother and the technician “tried for several minutes to release him” before calling the authorities.“ https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/mri-machin...

Is there information on why they didn’t quench?

They teach anyone operating MRI or even sitting by - in the first instruction lesson - that if life is at danger in relation to the magnet, you quench (=release the helium to stop the magnet).
