This week: Birth seasonality, causes of death across the lifespan, progress against HIV/AIDS & cystic fibrosis, very rare infectious form of Alzheimer’s, improvements in cholesterol, and more.
Hi, Saloni. I've been enjoying seeing your posts on Bluesky and finally made the leap over here to subscribe and start checking out your posts. I really enjoy your writing and presentation styles as well as your attention to detail and your obvious enjoyment and enthusiasm in sharing various things that you are interested in. So, thank you for putting your interests and skills to work to help the rest of us learn more about new research and topics.
There's a lot of interesting stuff in this #20 post and it would, I'm sure, be interesting to follow some of your links to delve into even more stuff, but I'm not going to have the time to do that now. I've got some in-progress political research topics that I need to get back to, being as we're in our presidential election year here in the US.
I did notice that there is a missing word – "see" – in the part where you talk about "why are births seasonal in the first place?" "On the left, you can SEE how this effect is ...."
There is also one place where you have an extra word, but I didn't immediately make note of where it was and now I can't find it again. Sorry.
Thanks so much, that's really nice to hear and I very much appreciate it! :)
I've corrected that grammatical error, and also fixed another one: "I’d been thinking about at a chart" which might have been the one you noticed. I put the first part of my draft through Grammarly but missed doing that for second half. Thank you for pointing that out.
Good luck with the political research topics you're working on!
I don’t know if this is possible, but can you make the notes at the bottom of the article send you back to the original location when you click on them?
Birth seasonality is interesting. Not the least for those of us who are trying to avoid crowded maternity wards.
I have six children. Three of them were born in November. Two were born at the end of October and one in the middle of January.
There are several reasons behind this seasonality:
*The first months of pregnancy make me sick and tired. I don't want those months in the summer, because then I want to work.
*The last months of pregnancy are also not pleasant in the summer.
*Maternity wards are crowded in the summer because people have more babies then and staff are on holiday.
*Taking care of a newborn is a nice winter activity. In the summer, it is nice for the baby to crawl outdoors.

Could you try clicking one of them on the web version of this post? It works for me already, I think it's a feature in substack.
Oh, looks like it's only the phone app that doesn't have those links
Hi Saloni, please check your twitter DMs. I have sent you some strange info about Lumina.
