Great reporting by Leslie Liang for @theexamination.org on the risk of nicotine analogues creeping into consumer products such as e-cigarettes and oral pouches. Thanks for the interview !
‘Nicotine-free’ vapes and pouches promise a buzz without the downsides. Health concerns remain.
Outlaw Dip, Spree Bar and other nicotine alternatives aren’t regulated in many countries. Researchers warn about health risks and misleading marketing.

Very bad: OSU unilaterally cancelled the registration of grad students attending the joint conference of the National Society of Black Physicists and the National Society of Hispanic Physicists. And OSU won't fund recruiting at the Society for Advancement of Chicanos and Native Americans in Science.
Ohio State changes policy on group conferences after Trump administration threats
A federal investigation into potentially discriminatory practices at Ohio State prompted the university to change its policies regarding conferences.

Retired philosophy professor is OK with cuts to cancer research, public health until his friends are allowed to wear racist Halloween costumes on campus again.
Opinion | As a professor, I’ve seen woke and MAGA censorship. Which is worse?
Both attacks on free speech are devastating for academia, but in different ways.

Heroic infectious disease investigators protecting the United States were smeared and laid off. They now have to put their shattered lives back together.

"Vascular dysfunction was evident with or without nicotine in the e-liquid, but nicotine exposure (50 mg/ml e-liquid) resulted in short-term memory deficits, evidence of neuronal damage, and increased astrocyte interaction with endothelial cells in 6- and 12-month-old offspring. "

The biggest problem with the not judging people by the standards of today is that all of the people committing crimes against humanity have almost always had contemporaries telling them this was wrong

You don't have to judge Columbus by the standards of today. His tenure as governor of Hispaniola was so horrific that he was dragged back to Spain in chains to answer for his many crimes.

Plus he never set foot on any land that would ever be a part of the United States of America.

An EPA report found that the forever chemical PFNA interferes with human development and likely causes damage to the liver and male reproductive systems.

The agency has sat on the report for months. “Scientifically, it was done,” said one scientist.

In „Amrum“ wird auch Nordfriesisch gesprochen. Damit rückt der neue Film von Fatih Akin eine Minderheitensprache ins Zentrum, die in Deutschland gerne überhört wird. 👉 taz.de/!6118499/
„Wenn eine Sprache, in der ein Mädchen ‚foomne‘ und ein Backofen ‚oonk‘ heißt, ein Dialekt des Deutschen sein soll, dann kann Niederländisch auch gleich für Deutsch erklärt werden.“

taz-Autor Gunnar Hinck liebt Fatih Akins neuen Friesen-Film und sagt: Friesisch ist kein Dialekt des Deutschen, sondern eine eigene Sprache

Pres. Kornbluth articulates such moral clarity in this rejection of the proposed “compact”:

“the premise of the document is inconsistent with our core belief that scientific funding should be based on scientific merit alone”
