Physics Girl: Super-Kamiokande – Imaging the sun by detecting neutrinos [video]

Dianna got better sometime last year as well, just in time to fly home to Hawaii for her father's funeral (yeah ...), but she got a lot worse again later. I really hope things will keep going well for Dianna now.

Props for her husband who's been incredible of taking care of her.

What an amazing storyteller. I will watch many more of her videos. I hope she will make many more videos ♥

Such amazing news. She’s been bedridden due to long Covid. Got better a few times but after a while attacks came back. Both she and her husband showed great strength. So happy to see a new milestone.

It's really cool to see her back and making videos again.

After seeing her status updates 2 years ago I was honestly really concerned she would be gone for good. It sounds like she had a serious case of myalgic encephalomyelitis brought on by Covid.

Part of why we know so little about these types of conditions is they are incredibly unfair. Women are 4x as likely to have some sort of constant fatigue disorder as men, and you see this reflected in literature going back centuries when describing women who just flat out disappear from public life.

One of the things about being bedridden for a long period of time is that there is a high risk of becoming more or less permanently bedridden. Especially if you have a chronic fatigue syndrome, you become weaker and any activity can retrigger fatigue. So her pushing herself to make new content sustainably is important very encouraging.

Long COVID is a nightmare. I'm glad she's able to fight it off enough to do the things she loves again.

Wonderful to hear. Her long Covid was heartbreaking (saw the videos). I hope she gets stronger and stronger! Welcome back!

Welcome back. One of my staple YouTube Subscriptions.

I’m today years old learning that the light that we actually see on earth today came out 100s of thousands of years ago.

So happy to see her back! It was a grueling journey and we were all crossing our thumbs, waiting and hoping…

BOOM! Let's go

Happy to see her back to science!

I can't remember where I heard of it, but decades ago there was another neutrino detection center, also in Japan I think, that had those vacuum tube detectors, but care wasn't taken in systems design. One of them broke and the implosion caused the neighbors to break. Leading to a catastrophic of almost all the sensors! I feel bad for them, I'm sure someone here knows the exact name and date. But man, what a tough lesson to learn.

Edit: on another note, way to go on your recovery Diana. We've been rooting for you.

(Typo in the title.)

Is this long Covid or depression or Major Depressive Disorder (MDD)? Because in her earlier videos she talks about becoming bed-bound again due to her emotional state after finding news her friend who had a similar condition died.
