Global News National<p>Scientists make surprise finding on what causes Huntington’s disease<br>New research shows that the mutation is harmless for decades, but it quietly grows into a larger mutation and eventually crosses a threshold, generating toxic proteins.<br><a href="https://mastodon.hongkongers.net/tags/science" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>science</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.hongkongers.net/tags/health" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>health</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.hongkongers.net/tags/disease" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>disease</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.hongkongers.net/tags/research" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>research</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.hongkongers.net/tags/HuntingtonsDisease" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HuntingtonsDisease</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.hongkongers.net/tags/Huntingtons" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Huntingtons</span></a><br><a href="https://globalnews.ca/news/10964360/huntington-disease-cause-new-study/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">globalnews.ca/news/10964360/hu</span><span class="invisible">ntington-disease-cause-new-study/</span></a></p>
Evan Light<p>Bye bye, Big Tech. I don't expect to be coming back. </p><p>Last day with LinkedIn. The laptop is shutdown. The corporate IT software is expunged from my personal devices. There's just one last call to take: to say farewell to some of the whole-hearted people I had the pleasure to meet.</p><p>I don't know what's next. I do know that I have direction: it *must* be aligned with my values. Human connection and dignity will be paramount in my future—for myself and whoever I work with. </p><p>What began with saving as a <a href="https://tenforward.social/tags/HuntingtonsDisease" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HuntingtonsDisease</span></a> caregiver for an impossible future later mutated into a need for security that could only be met by absurd dollar amounts. I have already spent too many years trying to fill that hole. It's not worth it. It is better to have the intrinsic security of living a life of trying to help and minimizing harm than the unlikely extrinsic security of winning the rat race.</p><p>"Even if you win the rat race, you’re still a rat." — Good luck on finding the actual attribution</p><p>Yes, I have privilege here. I intend to leverage it to do more good in the world.
