@eliowa.bsky.social, you came!☺️
Thought of your simple observation that early-career awards w/age limits leave people out, esp ♀️
It sparked great collaboration
But I never did the implementation work

Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

‘Tulip’ comes from the Turkish word ‘tülbent’ which means "turban."
The flower got its name from the resemblance of its overlapping petals to the folds of fabric in a turban.

I can no longer cite CDC or NIH in footnotes. Switching to Mayo Clinic, MGH and Johns Hopkins.
This is really awful. The CDC’s page stating vaccines do not cause autism (reality) has been zombified as a platform for conspiracy theories saying they do. Such a crime to dissuade parents from these safe vaccines and bamboozle parents of kids with autism on the causes www.wsj.com/health/healt...
CDC Changes Webpage to Say Vaccines May Cause Autism, Revising Prior Language
The text on vaccines had been a focal point for both vaccine skeptics, who criticized it, and public health advocates, who wondered how far RFK Jr. would go to change it.

If there was any doubt at all that the CDC is fully destroyed, this page on autism and vaccines on its website confirms it. It's now just another vessel of dangerous health misinformation. I have no words. This is beyond sad.

A zygote is the result of a sperm joining an egg.
‘Zygote’ comes from the Greek word for ‘yoke.’
A ‘yoke’ is a wooden beam that JOINS two animals together.
The ‘yolk’ of an egg is from the Old English word for “yellow.”
‘Yoke’ and ‘yolk’ have no relation to each other.
