It made it through my last library purge for a good reason. Should be done by Monday at which time I'll be a certified Ebola expert hahaha.

By the way I think someone is in quarantine in DC as we speak.

Yup. Thanks for sharing. Looks like a good read. I'm doing a systematic review on extinction (chiefly ebola) after I finish my cancer one. . nearly finished. I didn't think I'd do another systematic review but after looking at my forest plots/analysis, my hypothesis proven, it's the greatest feeling. Do you want to help me with the next one? We could co-author.

The only ecology experience I have is analyzing the population of 3 fish in my boyfriends fish tank hahaha. Good luck but I can review the report to see if you are cooking figures. I'm better at that....

[veritas]

No thanks. I'd rather a coauthor. It's a meta-review, you can't cook figures.

Last bio model I worked on was a diabetes 2 modeling of glucose-insulin kinetics by applying some fluids dynamics approach to chaos theory. I learnt to respect biomed researchers and forgot to return this book to the owner hehehe!

By the way I really enjoyed artificially spiking drinks in simulink/matlab. Even modeled how to kill someone by mixing certain foods tehehe.

Wow. Impressive. This would be med not biomed, biomed tends to be more science. Med is more philosophy/ethics.

Huh? That's deadly?

[Brynn]

That was a joke although before you drink anything from a suspected foe elementary chromatography can do wonders. Feeding to the cat/dog also helps. Anyways I think Oct Nov dec will be interesting months for Ebola. The figures for Sept looked somewhat constrained to me, either it's being deliberately under reported or people are dying and not being found. I'm very impressed by Nigerians.

[veritas]

On the ground is most always a different story. I wouldn't follow the hype. Stick with known facts about ebola.

Chromatography? Sounds familar... I'd rather take my chances on me than risk my kids (pets).

You should coauthor with me. I take issues about ebola with a grain of salt. You make it sound exciting. I'll do everything, you could just do the reading.

[Brynn]

Ebola is exciting. It's the pandemic of our time and possibly the most interesting in human history since the Black Death. This at a time when medical technology is at its highest peak. Aids has been interesting but the slow action of the HIV virus as well as infection method makes it less of a threat than something like Ebola. The interesting lead to me thus far has been the doc using HIV drugs. Every clever African on the continent knows to get those ASAP.

[Brynn]

By the way I was watching the world population ticker, stay tuned. 7 billion is an interesting number in more ways than one.

[veritas]

ARTs aren't easy to obtain. 600/- per treatment, long lines, there's not enough HIV med supplies. Pandemic of our time? That's a lofty title. . I think technology is a pandemic.

[veritas]

7 billion, how so?

[Brynn]

In a sense you are right about tech when I look at the types of posters that have internet at their fingertips. And Facebook wants to add more...

[veritas]

Interesting looking clip.

I'm going back to sleep. I'm sick at the moment. Shivering with body aches, sweating, headache etc.

Thank you for the chat, please have a gorgeous weekend. 

[Brynn]

Take care gal, those are not good symptoms lol. I'm just sayin...have a fab weekend as well.

I have always liked that chimp clip.

You might find this one funny too.  Modeled on Charles Taylor.
