      you keep pushing this -- it's ok to mention but the way it's written it seems like you are calling them out for hypocrisy; too harsh, and there can be other explanations

    6. TEA researchers

      are we sure about all these categories -- doublecheck this was the case. And maybe "TEA experts/forecasters" (a tooltip can explain what this means)

    1. Observed changes in atmospheric CO₂ concentration during the instrumental period andisotopic signatures back to the Little Ice Age are likely explained by natural biogeochem-ical feedbacks, with no detectable anthropogenic contribution.

      We know that, "uptake of atmospheric CO2 should react not to a change in emissions, but to a change in concentrations" (Knorr 2009). So if our current anthropogenic emissions of 4.9 ±0.5 ppmv/yr of fossil CO2 were to suddenly cease, the CO2 trend would be reduced by that same amount: 4.9 ±0.5 ppmv/yr. That means it would be negative instead of positive: initially averaging about -2.4 ±0.6 ppmv/year instead of the current average of +2.5 ±0.1 ppmv/year.

      In other words, were it not for ongoing anthropogenic CO2 emissions the atmospheric CO2 concentration would currently be falling, rather than rising.

      That obviously means that the current upward trend in atmospheric CO2 concentration is entirely due to anthropogenic emissions.

      ● Mankind is ADDING CO2 to the atmosphere

      ● Nature (the net sum of all non-anthropogenic carbon fluxes) is REMOVING CO2 from the atmosphere

      ● The atmospheric CO2 level is currently rising because mankind is currently adding CO2 faster than nature is removing it.

    2. a modest natural top-of-atmos-phere radiative imbalance of ~2.6 W m⁻² can account for the observed rise in atmosphericCO₂ via temperature-driven oceanic outgassing and enhanced soil respiratio

      The TOA radiative imbalance does not affect CO2 fluxes, directly. It only does so indirectly, by affecting temperatures. We know from ice core data that both over glaciation cycles and over shorter climate cycles such as the RWP 🡖 DACP 🡕 MWP 🡖 LIA, 1°C of average temperature change could only affect atmospheric CO2 levels by at most 10-15 ppmv (and even that was only after long equilibration periods).

      But the atmospheric CO2 level has risen by 112 ppmv just since 1958 (when precise measurements began).

      Obviously we haven't had 112/15 = 7.5°C of warming since 1958 (and we also haven't had hundreds of years to equilibrate).

      What's more, CO2 levels continued to rise (at an accelerating pace!) during the 1950s through 1970s, as temperatures FELL. So obviously the rise in CO2 levels wasn't caused by rising temperatures. (It was caused by the post-WWII boom in industrial production.)

      What's more, we know that both the oceans and the soils (as well as the terrestrial biosphere) are currently net removers of CO2 from the air, not net producers of it.

      The sole reason for the ongoing increase in CO2 level is that human CO2 emissions currently exceed the net rate of natural CO2 removals.

    3. conflicting airborne fraction definitions

      The so-called "airborne fraction" (AF) doesn't represent anything physical. It is just a computed ratio between the observed rate of increase in the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere, and the rate at which human CO2 emissions add CO2 to the atmosphere.

      The AF is currently about 50%, meaning that nature is removing CO2 at about half the rate at which humans are adding it. So if we were to suddenly halve human CO2 emissions, the AF would be zero. If we were to more than halve human CO2 emissions the AF would be negative, and the atmospheric CO2 concentration would be decreasing, rather than increasing.

      That does mean that "net zero" is unscientific. But it does not affect the conclusion that the sole reason that the atmospheric CO2 concentration is increasing is that the rate of anthropogenic CO2 emissions exceeds the rate of natural CO2 removals.

    4. e-foldingtime 17.2 years

      The "bomb spike" e-folding lifetime is a little over 20 years. When it is mistakenly reported as 16-17 years, it's usually due to failure to account for the Suess Effect. When 14C-depleted fossil carbon is added to the atmosphere, that reduces Δ14C without reducing the total amount of carbon in the atmosphere. That's explained in (Burton 2024).

    1. At

      I think a bit more introductory background is needed. I.e. patients can either be 1) There is only one type of infection, 2) There is only a single time-point in which decisions for any given patient are made, etc.

    2. however, the resistance profile of a potential infection is controlled by the array of AMR_LeakyBalloon models in the environment, and the resistance profile determines the likelihood that a given antibiotic treatment will be effective.

      I'd reverse the order - first describe what the resistance profile is, and then how it is controlled.

    3. For our RL agents, we used PPO (proximal policy optimization) implementations from the Python package stable-baselines3. The specific agent architectures used — flat memoryless, flat recurrent, hierarchical memoryless, and hierarchical recurrent — are described in Section 3.3.

      I would leave this out of this section - I think it's a bit too specific

    4. A fixed prescribing rule (see Section 3.5), which emulates how real-world prescribers make antibiotic treatment decisions using observable patient and resistance information Reinforcement learning (RL) agents (see Section 3.3), which learn policies by interacting with the environment over many training episodes, using feedback from the reward signal to discover policies that maximize cumulative long-term reward. Unlike the fixed rule, RL agents are not pre-programmed with a specific decision logic; instead, they discover effective prescribing strategies through trial-and-error exploration.

      Again - looks like two papers. First to do #1. And second to do #2 and compare results to #1.

    5. By comparing the performance of the RL algorithms against the fixed prescribing rule baseline, we demonstrate that our simulator enables quantitative comparative policy analysis, allowing us to characterize the magnitude and nature of gains achievable by adaptive prescribing strategies relative to static prescribing rules.

      This has two messages (and again makes me wonder if there are two papers). One is that the simulator allow comparative policy analysis. The second is that RL can out-perforam static presecription rules.

    6. We note here that this application of simulation and reinforcement learning to the area of antimicrobial resistance is relatively novel.

      I wouldn't be so explicit about noting 'novelty'- can lead that for reviewers/editors to decide. Could rub some folks the wrong way - particularly if they have published a paper that they think is even more novel. I'd rather emphasize how it builds/extends existing literature and findings, adresses gaps, etc.

    7. We then compared the performance of two types of prescribing algorithms in these scenarios: a ‘baseline’ fixed prescribing rule that emulates how real-world prescribers make decisions about antibiotic treatment, and reinforcement learning (RL) algorithms. Because the consequences of prescribing decisions unfold over time — treatment decisions made today can drive resistance that undermines antibiotic efficacy months later — antibiotic prescribing is fundamentally a sequential decision-making problem. Reinforcement learning is a subfield of machine learning focused on designing algorithms to optimize sequences of decisions in order to maximize cumulative long-term outcomes, making it a useful approach for this problem (see Section 3.1 for further details).

      Great paragraph

    8. Given these challenges, it is difficult to directly quantify the long-term effects of antibiotic stewardship program interventions using observational or interventional studies alone (Bertollo et al. 2018; Schweitzer et al. 2019). When real-world systems lack sufficient data to support direct modeling, simulation can offer a complementary framework in which researchers are able to directly and explicitly specify the underlying ground truth of key mechanisms, enabling controlled investigation of trade-offs that are difficult or impossible to observe in real-world settings.

      Great paragraph for motivating the benefit (and novelty) of AS simulation.

    9. A fundamental challenge to performing quantitative impact evaluation of these programs is the pervasive partial observability of key system components (Laxminarayan et al. 2013). Even in resource-rich settings where antibiotic prescription records are available, true selection pressure on pathogen populations is incompletely observed due to unmeasured sources of antibiotic exposure, including agricultural use and environmental contamination (Van Boeckel et al. 2015). Measurement of AMR itself presents an even greater challenge: while initiatives such as the WHO’s Global Antimicrobial Resistance and Use Surveillance System (GLASS) have sought to standardize surveillance, participation remains voluntary and coverage incomplete, and no universally adopted scalar metric of resistance at the community level yet exists (Organization 2022; Leth and Schultsz 2023).

      I would be careful about highlighting these as challenges early in the intro as it sets the paper up as a 'solution' to these challenges. I would rather emphasize why simulation is useful by itself (even if you had perfect observation / mechanistic understanding). Then you can introduce the limitations mentioned here as constraints (rather than challenges) that need to be incorporated into simulations.

    10. evaluating the impact of stewardship strategie

      Feels you have mixed messages here. On the one hand you are 'evaluating the impact of stewardship strategies' (which sounds like you are focusing on evaluating current strategies0 and on the other you are developing novel RL strategies. I'm still of the mind these are two separate papers! But I'll keep reading :)

    11. benchmark prescribing policies discovered by reinforcement learning agents against a clinically-realistic fixed prescribing rule across four sets of experiments of increasing complexity, where each set of experiments varied in type and degree of observed information degradation.

      This is quit a mouthful. I'd break it down more. Why is RL used? What types of experiments are you running? What type of information is observed and degraded?

      This article basically argues that Facebook can’t really solve its misinformation and hate speech problem without changing its engagement‑first business model. Even when they created a “Responsible AI” team, leadership steered it away from tackling the core recommendation algorithms, so a lot of the work feels like PR rather than actually changing what users see.

      I read this article which talked about how Tumblr went from a very large sharing platform to its now more dead site. Tumblr grew in popularity with creative users and fandoms, but once Yahoo bought the site it began to die out. This was due to aggressive moderation and then a later ban on adult content which steered many off the site.

      The amount of power these social media sites have with our data is something to ponder about. Facebook had a recent data breach that allowed certain parties to feed content to certain users that could influence them politically. With social media being prevalent now more than ever, this is especially dangerous. I think that these companies should have harsher consequences when these data breaches happen and there should be a government-adjacent but separate entity that ensures the privacy of all social media users.

    1. Post-ban, hate speech by the same users was reduced by as much as 80-90 percent. […] “Members of banned communities left Reddit at significantly higher rates than control groups. […] Migration was common, both to similar subreddits (i.e. overtly racist ones) and tangentially related ones (r/The_Donald). […] However, within those communities, hate speech did not reliably increase, although there were slight bumps as the invaders encountered and tested new rules and moderators.

      I’ve seen people argue that moderating or banning hate just “drives it underground” and doesn’t actually solve anything, so this result surprised me. It lines up more with my experience that when a site actually enforces rules, it does somewhat work. It makes me more skeptical of platforms that claim they “can’t” moderate because it won’t work; this suggests it can work if they’re willing to take the hit.

      Since, then, a blessed life consists of these two things, and is known to all, and dear to all; what can we think to be the cause why, when they cannot have both, men choose, out of these two, to have all things that they will, rather than to will all things well, even although they do not have them? Is it the depravity itself of the human race, in such wise that, while they are not unaware that neither is he blessed who has not what he wills, nor he who has what he wills wrongly, but he who both has whatsoever good things he wills, and wills no evil ones, yet, when both are not granted of those two things in which the blessed life consists, that is rather chosen by which one is withdrawn the more from a blessed life (since he certainly is further from it who obtains things which he wickedly desired, than he who only does not obtain the things which he desired); whereas the good will ought rather to be chosen, and to be preferred, even if it do not obtain the things which it seeks? For he comes near to being a blessed man, who wills well whatsoever he wills, and wills things, which when he obtains, he will be blessed. And certainly not bad things, but good, make men blessed, when they do so make them. And of good things he already has something, and that, too, a something not to be lightly esteemed — namely, the very good will itself; who longs to rejoice in those good things of which human nature is capable, and not in the performance or the attainment of any evil; and who follows diligently, and attains as much as he can, with a prudent, temperate, courageous, and right mind, such good things as are possible in the present miserable life; so as to be good even in evils, and when all evils have been put an end to, and all good things fulfilled, then to be blessed.

      There are dangers of people using that language as a loophole to spread misinformation, hate, or any type of normally restricted content. If Facebook does not have the ability to properly regulate posts that are written in a language unknown to moderators, then the people who's first language is that are at risk for negative influences.

      Het feest duurt één dag. In veel steden zijn er festivals en concerten. Mensen luisteren naar muziek, dansen en eten samen buiten.

      Veel mensen dragen comfortabele en kleurrijke kleren. Sommige mensen dragen oranje kleding.

      Families en vrienden gaan samen naar de stad of naar een park. De sfeer is vaak gezellig en vrolijk.

      Ik vind Bevrijdingsdag een mooi feest, omdat vrijheid belangrijk is voor iedereen.

      I found this source extremely interesting because it made me realize how little I know about content moderation. I have always assumed that when posts get taken down or people get banned, it is because of some algorithm that detects this content as harmful. However, I now know that there are real people behind this moderation. When reading about this, I was really shocked. The author made it clear that these workers are meant to be "invisible" on social media, and they have done a good job at this because I had no idea.

    1. Have you ever reported a post/comment for violating social media platform rules?

      I have reported posts on TikTok for violating the platform's rules. The most recent posts that I have been reporting are these ads I started seeing that were advertising for users to click a link to visit a different website that had sexual content on it. In most of these videos, the person urging the viewers to click the link is generated by AI. I reported these because inappropriate content, like what was being advertised, is not allowed on the platform.

    2. In unmoderated online spaces who has the most power and ability to speak and be heard? Who has the least power and ability to speak and be heard?

      The people who have the least power are minorities. Minorities are often harassed on social media, but due to moderation, hate speech is usually reported and taken down. If there was no moderation, I think the amount of hate online, especially towards minority groups, will grow exponentially.

    1. The Conscious Bed was born from a simple, personal desire: to create a bedroom that truly supported rest, healing, and well-being.I was searching for a fabric headboard—something soft, grounding, and inviting. But every option felt like a compromise. Upholstered headboards attracted dust and aggravated my allergies, with no way to properly clean them. Rigid headboards were visually structured but uncomfortable to lean against. And the solution most beds relied on—layers of pillows—only added clutter, constantly ending up on the floor instead of supporting the body.Nothing felt intentional. Nothing felt conscious.I realized that the bed—the place where we spend a third of our lives—was being designed for appearance, not for how we actually rest.That realization became the beginning of The Conscious Bed.Instead of a single rigid structure, I envisioned a layered, adaptable syste —one that could support the body, calm the nervous system, and stay clean over time. A bed designed with the understanding that materials, colors, and textures directly affect how we sleep, breathe, and heal.The Conscious Bed replaces fixed headboards and excess pillows with washable, interchangeable cushions crafted from organic, breathable fabrics. Each layer serves a purpose: comfort, support, ease of care, and energetic harmony. Nothing is decorative without intention. Nothing is added without function.This system allows the bed to evolve—through changing needs, sensitivities, seasons, and moods—while remaining grounded in simplicity and cleanliness.At its core, The Conscious Bed is about reclaiming the bedroom as a space of restoration. A place where the body feels supported. Where the air feels clean. Where the environment works with you, not against you.Because true rest begins with intention—and the space we sleep in mattersmore than we’ve been taught to believe.

    1. El almirante Anaya confió la planificación de la operación y el armado del grupo comando al Contralmirante Girling y este -en un pase de manos- a Luis D¨ Imperio, quien designó al mando al capitán de corbeta e infante de marina y buzo táctico Héctor Rosales, junto a los exmontoneros Máximo Nicoletti, Antonio Nelson Latorre alias “el Pelado Diego” y un tercer integrante conocido como “El Marciano”, cuya identidad se desconoce, aunque hay versiones (incluso literarias) que indican que fue un conscripto. D’Imperio, fue el sucesor de Jorge “El Tigre” Acosta en el Grupo de Tareas 3.3.2. de la Escuela de Mecánica de la Armada (ESMA); el mismo grupo de tareas que había “chupado” a Nicoletti.

      Good detail

    2. Pero su historia no termina allí. Según parece, los jefes de la Armada estaban muy interesados en sus destrezas. Es por ello qué en el año 1978, durante el conflicto que la Argentina mantuvo con Chile por el canal de Beagle, aquella le pidió que preparase un operativo similar al que llevó a cabo en Rio Santiago, esta vez en Valparaíso y contra buques trasandinos. La mediación papal impidió que el asunto llegara a otros estadíos y el plan fue desestimado.

    1. Das Siegel „Clean at Sephora" war in den USA Gegenstand einer Sammelklage (Finster v. Sephora, 2022), die ein US-Bundesgericht im März 2024 zugunsten von Sephora abwies. Die zugrunde liegende Frage nach transparenten Kriterien für „Clean"-Siegel bleibt im EU-Kontext jedoch aktuell, insbesondere mit Blick auf die EU Green Claims Directive.

      Das Siegel „Clean at Sephora“ war in den USA Teil einer Sammelklage, die 2024 zugunsten von Sephora entschieden wurde. Die Diskussion über klare und transparente Kriterien für solche „Clean“-Siegel bleibt trotzdem aktuell.“

    2. Für den deutschen Markt lässt sich jedoch kaum nachvollziehen, was davon bereits umgesetzt ist: Sephora publiziert keinen eigenständigen Bericht für Deutschland.

      Better: Für den deutschen Markt bleibt allerdings unklar, welche Maßnahmen bereits umgesetzt wurden. Sephora veröffentlicht dafür keinen eigenen Nachhaltigkeitsbericht speziell für Deutschland.

    3. 600+ Marken, regelmäßige Aktionen und bis zu drei Gratisproben pro Bestellung sind die wichtigsten Argumente.

      Mit über 600 Marken, regelmäßigen Rabatten und bis zu drei Gratisproben pro Bestellung bietet Douglas eine besonders große Auswahl für Beauty-Fans.

    4. Douglas hat das ursprüngliche Ziel der Klimaneutralität bis 2025 inzwischen durch ein präziseres 50-Prozent-Reduktionsziel für Scope 1 und 2 (gegenüber 2018/19) ersetzt.

      Douglas verfolgt aktuell das Ziel, die Scope-1- und Scope-2-Emissionen bis 2025 um 50 Prozent gegenüber dem Geschäftsjahr 2018/19 zu senken.

    5. Besonders stark: der dedizierte Bereich für Refill-Düfte, der größte im Vergleich.

      Besonders auffällig ist der große Bereich für Refill-Düfte, der im Vergleich zu den anderen Shops am umfangreichsten ausfällt

    6. Hier liegt die größte Schwachstelle. Rezente Trustpilot-Bewertungen zeigen wiederkehrende Muster: Bestellstornierungen, Schwierigkeiten beim Kundenservice, Lieferprobleme. Das internationale Sephora-Erlebnis hat den deutschen Markt noch nicht vollständig erreicht.

      Better: Schwächer schneidet Sephora aktuell vor allem beim Kundenservice ab. In Bewertungen werden häufiger Probleme mit Lieferungen, Stornierungen oder langen Antwortzeiten erwähnt. Der deutsche Markt wirkt stellenweise noch nicht so eingespielt wie andere internationale Sephora-Standorte.

    7. Vorteile Beste Preise im Premium-Segment 600+ Marken Bis zu 3 Gratisproben pro Bestellung Transparentes Punktesystem Eigene PV-Anlage am Logistikstandort Gute Naturkosmetik-Kategorie Nachteile Kein eigenständiger Nachhaltigkeitsbericht Kaum Exklusivmarken Proben automatisch statt nach Wahl Weniger Premium-Feeling als NB oder Breuninger

      At the beginning of the bullet list, the letters should be written in lowercase.

    8. Der Grundsatz lautet „Strictly Selective, Strictly Luxury", und er ist mehr als ein Slogan.

      Better: Der Leitsatz „Strictly Selective, Strictly Luxury“ begleitet das Unternehmen bis heute.

    9. Diese Marken sind nicht als Token-Ökoprodukte ans Ende des Sortiments verbannt, sie gehören zum kuratorischen Kern.

      Nachhaltige Marken sind hier kein kleiner Zusatz im Sortiment, sondern ein wichtiger Teil der Produktauswahl.

    10. Wie viele Premium-Marken navigiert Niche Beauty hier ein Spannungsfeld zwischen Markenerlebnis und Verpackungsreduktion, das die Branche aktuell verhandelt.

      Wie viele andere Premium-Marken versucht auch Niche Beauty, einen Mittelweg zwischen hochwertiger Verpackung und weniger Verpackungsmüll zu finden.

    11. Besonders wertvoll: die zwei Gratisproben nach Wahl statt automatischer Zuteilung. Das ist bei den Wettbewerbern die Ausnahme, nicht die Regel.

      Ein Pluspunkt sind die zwei Gratisproben zur freien Auswahl. Bei vielen anderen Shops ist das nicht selbstverständlich.

    12. Das „wie neu"-Programm gibt technisch einwandfreien Retouren ein zweites Leben zu einem reduzierten Preis.

      Mit dem „wie neu“-Programm werden einwandfreie Rücksendungen günstiger weiterverkauft.

    13. Kuration und Exklusivität, nachhaltige Markenauswahl, vegane und tierversuchsfreie Produkte, Refill-Angebote, Loyalty und Service, Unternehmenstransparenz sowie Preis-Leistung.

      Kuration und Exklusivität, nachhaltige Markenauswahl, vegane und tierversuchsfreie Produkte, Refill-Angebote, Loyalty und Service, Unternehmenstransparenz sowie Preis-Leistung.

      Replace the word Kuration = Produktauswahl

    14. Nach intensiver Recherche der sieben wichtigsten Premium-Beauty-Händler im deutschsprachigen Raum zeigt sich: Die Unterschiede sind groß, und die ehrlichsten Antworten findet man oft nicht auf den Hochglanzseiten der Nachhaltigkeitsversprechen, sondern im tatsächlichen Sortiment und in der Unternehmensverantwortung.

      The sentence is very long, better:

      Nach intensiver Recherche der sieben wichtigsten Premium-Beauty-Händler im deutschsprachigen Raum werden deutliche Unterschiede sichtbar. Oft zeigt nicht die große Nachhaltigkeitsseite, wie ernst ein Unternehmen das Thema nimmt, sondern das tatsächliche Sortiment und der Umgang mit Verantwortung.

    15. Die EU-Richtlinie zu Green Claims, die ab 2026 verbindlich wird, wird voraussichtlich mehrere der hier verwendeten Labels und Versprechen unter Druck setzen, besonders selbstverwaltete Siegel ohne unabhängige Zertifizierung.

      Better: Ab 2026 gelten in der EU strengere Regeln für Umwelt- und Nachhaltigkeitsaussagen. Vor allem eigene Labels und Versprechen ohne unabhängige Prüfung könnten dadurch deutlich stärker kontrolliert werden.

    16. Was sich dennoch klar zeigt: Niche Beauty führt den Vergleich durch die Kombination aus überdurchschnittlicher nachhaltiger Markenkuration, dem besten Loyalty-Programm im Premium-Segment und einem kuratorischen Ansatz, der conscious shopping erleichtert, nicht erschwert.

      The same as above, the sentences are too long. Better: Im Vergleich fällt Niche Beauty vor allem durch die Auswahl nachhaltiger Marken und das starke Loyalty-Programm auf. Der Shop macht bewusstes Einkaufen einfacher und übersichtlicher statt komplizierter.

    17. Wie bei allen hier besprochenen Händlern gilt: In der EU sind Tierversuche für Kosmetika seit 2013 verboten, das ist kein Alleinstellungsmerkmal, sondern gesetzliche Pflicht. Vegan-Filter und Markenkennzeichnungen helfen bei der gezielten Suche.

      Wie bei allen hier besprochenen Händlern gilt: In der EU sind Tierversuche für Kosmetika seit 2013 verboten. Deshalb ist „tierversuchsfrei“ heute oft eher Standard als Besonderheit. Vegan-Filter und Markenkennzeichnungen helfen bei der gezielten Suche.

      Low Colour Contrast: The orange header and grey text on a beige background create poor contrast, making it difficult for users with low vision or colour‑contrast sensitivity to read. This violates the Perceivable principle that was discussed in Module 2 to clearly distinguish foreground from background.

    1. Virtual worlds that tell stories, generate belonging, and provide cultural resonance are the ones that last. Digital environments succeed when they become sites of identity play and storytelling, not when they replicate physical space.

      truth

    1. I think this battle tactic was very clever because it used deception to weaken enemies before attacking them. It also explains why infantry armies struggled against nomadic cavalry forces that were faster and more flexible in combat.

    2. This passage helped me understand why horses were so important to nomadic life. Mobility allowed these groups to survive harsh conditions, escape danger, and eventually become powerful military forces across Central Asia.

    3. This system of leadership seems very unstable compared to hereditary monarchies. Instead of power automatically passing to a son, leaders had to prove themselves through military ability and leadership skills, which often caused conflicts after a ruler died.

    4. I found it surprising that nomadic societies had such a structured social hierarchy. Many people assume nomads lived without organization, but this passage shows they had clear social classes and roles within their communities.

    5. This passage shows how migration can completely change the culture and ethnic makeup of a region over time. I thought it was interesting that the Turkic migrations did not just influence Central Asia politically, but also changed the languages and identity of the people living there.

    1. C. L. Lynch. “Autism is a Spectrum” Doesn’t Mean What You Think. NeuroClastic, May 2019. URL: https://neuroclastic.com/its-a-spectrum-doesnt-mean-what-you-think/ (visited on 2023-12-08).

      A part of this article that really stuck out to me was simply how it explains what the spectrum that is referred to when people say "autism is a spectrum" actually looks like. Despite having some autistic family members, I was under the impression that the meaning was simply referring to the gradient that the article mentions and that it simply wasn't based on facts. Because of this, I believe that this labeled spectrum is extremely helpful to understand what autism actually is and should be taught to the wider public.

    1. In what ways have you found social media bad for your mental health and good for your mental health?

      I have found that social media has distinctive positive and negative effects. The major positive for me is that it allows me to stay connected and in-touch with other people. I am personally more introverted, so being able to communicate on a social media platform is much easier. I have found many negatives with social media, such as feeling negative emotions from comments and getting sucked into social media algorithms.
