arrgh, just hit report and submitted for spam, then realized I meant to report the post below the one I reported. Sorry about that, I don't see any undo.
Random Thought: I wonder when modern neurotransmitters evolved. The neurotransmitters we know and love (serotonin, gaba, glutamate, dopamine, epinephrine/norepinephrine, histamine ETC) are in use by mammals and reptiles, so i'm guessing like 10-20 million years ago. #science#neuroscience
Clinical research plays a crucial role in advancing medical knowledge and improving healthcare practices. If you're interested in pursuing a career in this field, there are various types of courses available to suit your interests and career goals. In this blog, we'll explore some of the different types of clinical research courses that you can consider.
Introduction to Clinical Research: This type of course provides a foundational understanding of clinical research methodologies, ethics, regulations, and best practices. It is ideal for individuals who are new to the field and want to grasp the fundamentals before diving deeper into specialized areas.
Clinical Research Coordinator Training: Clinical research coordinators play a key role in managing clinical trials and ensuring compliance with protocols and regulations. Clinical Research Coordinator courses focus on skills such as patient recruitment, data collection, and communication with stakeholders.
Good Clinical Practice (GCP) Training: GCP training is essential for anyone involved in clinical research to ensure that trials are conducted ethically, following international standards and guidelines. These courses cover topics such as informed consent, safety reporting, and monitoring procedures.
Clinical Trial Management: Clinical trial management courses are designed for individuals responsible for overseeing the planning, execution, and completion of clinical trials. Participants learn about project management, budgeting, and risk assessment specific to clinical research.
Clinical Research Ethics: Ethics are paramount in clinical research to protect the rights and welfare of study participants. Courses in clinical research ethics explore ethical principles, informed consent processes, and the role of institutional review boards (IRBs) in ensuring ethical conduct.
Data Management in Clinical Research: Data management courses focus on the collection, storage, and analysis of clinical trial data in accordance with regulatory requirements. Participants learn about data standards, quality control, and database management systems commonly used in clinical research.
Biostatistics for Clinical Research: Biostatistics plays a crucial role in the design and analysis of clinical trials. Courses in biostatistics for clinical research cover statistical methods, sample size calculation, and interpretation of study results.
Regulatory Affairs in Clinical Research: Regulatory affairs courses are designed for professionals responsible for ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements governing clinical research. Participants learn about regulatory submissions, inspections, and the approval process for new drugs and medical devices.
The Postgraduate Diploma (PG Diploma) in Clinical Research: PG Diploma in Clinical Research is an intensive program that delves into clinical research principles, methodologies, and practical applications. Lasting one to two years, these courses offer a robust academic curriculum paired with hands-on training. Graduates are equipped for roles like clinical research associates, project managers, or data analysts.
Specialized Topics: There are also courses available on specialized topics within clinical research, such as pharmacovigilance, medical device trials, and adaptive trial designs. These courses cater to individuals with specific interests or those working in niche areas of clinical research.
In addition to traditional classroom-based courses, many institutions offer online and hybrid programs to accommodate busy schedules and diverse learning preferences. Whether you're a healthcare professional looking to transition into clinical research or a recent graduate exploring career options, there's a clinical research course suited to your needs.
Before enrolling in any course, it's essential to research the curriculum, accreditation status, and instructor qualifications to ensure that you're investing your time and resources wisely. By choosing the right clinical research course, you can acquire the knowledge and skills needed to contribute to the advancement of medical science and improve patient care.

Dear #Fediverse app devs (including the #mastodon web interface itself): PLEASE stop autocorrecting my #CamelCase'd hashtags into all-lower-case.
That's just silly. You should be autocorrecting lower case to camel case instead! Grab the list of all hashtags with the same letters without regard to case, and if there's a plurality of them with the same capitalization (not counting all-lower-case), suggest that. Duh! ;)
Hmmm, every server I'm getting spam from has a new user in their public directory named yqqwe, and each one of these users is following mastodon_admin_yggwe on a single-user instance mastodon.tinynews.org. One can look at the 924 followers of this admin and they all are named yqqwe and they are all on servers I've been getting #spam from. #fediverse#moderation#administration
I've found a few of these servers do NOT have the yqqwe account on them, these tend to be more active servers with admins moderating/removing spammers. Good!
#FediBlock snarfed.org and brid.gy for bridging fediverse folks to Bluesky against their will (and in likely contravention of GDPR in the EU) with typical Silicon Valley techbro sense of entitlement:
“[O]pt in results in far fewer users, and users are critical for a bridge to be useful.”¹
I'm really tired of the holier-than-you people on the Fediverse!
No, Threads is not full of trolls and evil people just because Meta is evil. Threads is full of people who are not terminally online like we are. This is idiotic to want to block Threads by default. If anything let's show them there is another way.
No, the big Mastodon instances are not full of trolls and evil people just because they're the big instances. They're full of people who are into the Fediverse but for reasons that are theirs have no time, energy, or interest to join smaller instances. This is idiotic to want to block such instances. If anything let's teach them about smaller instances.
And right now, I see people building bridges with BlueSKy and I see very negative reactions from some people about that. Well... No, BlueSky is not full of trolls and evil people.
I'm so fucking annoyed with this bullshit attitude.
Honestly, if your response is "don't federate" every single fucking time, have you thought for a second that maybe, just maybe, you are in the wrong place? Fedi fucking verse. It's in the name.
If you don't want to communicate with people who are different from you, you're honestly no different from the people you are calling names. Please go to your instance that's defederated from everyone else, or even better, go on a closed Discord or something.
Fuck, I barely finished my second coffee and I'm already annoyed.
