    The Rage And Glee That Followed A CEO’s Killing Should Ring All Alarms
    https://www.nytimes.com/2024/12/06/opinion/united-health-care-ceo-shooting.html?unlocked_article_code=1.fU4.GgEC.KTRc2b9uDBFU&smid=url-share
    Then came the reports that bullet casings bearing the words “delay,” “deny” and “depose” were found at the scene. “Delay” and “deny” clearly echo tactics insurers use to avoid paying claims. “Depose”? Well, that’s the sudden, forceful removal from a high position. Ah. After that, it was an avalanche. The shooter was compared to John Q, the desperate fictional father who takes an entire emergency room hostage after a health insurance company refuses to cover his son’s lifesaving transplant in a 2002 film of the same name. Some posted “prior authorization needed before thoughts and prayers.” Others wryly pointed out that the reward for information connected to the murder, $10,000, was less than their annual deductibles. One observer recommended that Thompson should be scheduled to see a specialist in a few months, maybe.

    Fish Have a Brain Microbiome. Could Humans Have One Too?
    https://www.quantamagazine.org/fish-have-a-brain-microbiome-could-humans-have-one-too-20241202/
    Recently, a study published in Science Advances provided the strongest evidence yet(opens a new tab) that a brain microbiome can and does exist in healthy vertebrates — fish, specifically. Researchers at the University of New Mexico discovered communities of bacteria thriving in salmon and trout brains. Many of the microbial species have special adaptations that allow them to survive in brain tissue, as well as techniques to cross the protective blood-brain barrier.
