"But, for some, those background noises can become so overwhelming that they distract them from recognising voices or alerts." This is interesting about auditory processing disorder. I've always experienced something like this in noisy environments. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

This is my great new preprint with @drvishalcpatel.bsky.social and @halllab.bsky.social. We investigated the gut microbiota in patients with liver disease in which we show an increasing dominance of Enterococcus in the gut of patients with more severe liver disease. www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1...

I think it's normal for society to be more willing to make accommodations for larger majorities of people. I don't see this as a personal victimisation of myself.

"Air pollution and brain damage: what the science says Epidemiological studies have linked dirty air to dementia and other brain disorders. Now researchers are trying to determine how pollutants do their damage, and how much harm they cause." Seems worth reducing it. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

"From 2005 to 2020, the share of households that didn’t purchase any meat at the grocery store increased from 4.1 to 4.6 percent ... The share of households purchasing no animal products... doubled, from a tiny 0.5 percent to a still-tiny 1 percent." New diet data. www.vox.com/future-perfe...
