It could also be the type of sorting you are using. I was seeing lots of cats, and my settings are

Good point! It's going through rapid development, maybe it's planned for the future

I don't think it was coordinated.

It feels like someone shared a photo, others felt inspired to share, and it snowballed since then

When something is posted on Mastodon, Pixelfed, etc., I can access it without an account.

When something is on Twitter/X, Instagram, etc., I can't access it (either easily, or at all) unless I make an account and sign in with it.

Important information should not be on a platform where it is locked away like this.

From what I remember, Misskey fills the niche that Mastodon does and it's been popular in Japan for a lot longer than mastodon was popular elsewhere

Also I'd be curious what the breakdown of Japanese users is across the three. Overall user counts are one thing, but maybe the number of Japanese users matches that order (Misskey > Bluesky > Mastodon)

Agreed, the map made it seem like a lot of separate incidents were all happening at the same time. I'm impressed with how efficiently they're working through it all

All for one, not one for all: The promise and challenges of personalized medicine (theconversation.com)
 

For most of the medicines currently in use, a single drug is prescribed to many people. But sometimes, an individual patient needs a customized drug. Personalized medicine tailors treatments for a specific patient or a handful of patients. It holds great promise for treating certain life-threatening conditions. However, such treatments can be expensive, difficult to develop and labour-intensive.

Today in The Conversation Canada, Lori Burrows and Elizabeth Li of McMaster University write about the promise and challenges of personalized medicine. Treatments like CAR T-cell therapy for relapsed cancers and phage therapy for antibiotic resistant superbugs can save lives, but the high costs that come with such individualized therapies are a major barrier. There are other hurdles, too, including drug approvals and regulations.
