Public health is not partisan. It is health for the public.

That means all of us.

That’s cool. And the program tagline is obv: Where does your wood come from? Hope they’re taking advantage of the buzz around Taylor Swift’s song Wood.

Look what arrived in the mail today! Hooray and congrats to Ken Feder! "Insightful, respectful, important, and a pleasure to read. It belongs on the bookshelf of every American," according to one archaeologist who blurbed the book. Get your copy today!

There are hundreds of years of history of women’s scientific accomplishments not being recognised or being minimised (“not notable”). It *still* happens. Many female scientists are only acknowledged on Wikipedia thanks to the efforts of, yes, other female scientists, notably physicist Dr Jess Wade.

Lol the Nobels can't even acknowledge women's contribution to discovery. But sure let's acknowledge The Machines.
Headline from an article in Nature this week that states "Prizes must recognize machine contributions to discovery. The future of science will be written by humans and machines together. Awards should reflect that reality."

Had the same reaction! And not just statistically significant clinical results but, from the patient perspective, life-changing results.

It’s non-invasive neurostimulation. Same tech is being used to manage opioid withdrawal in NICU. Looks like it means the difference between anemic and not anemic. Very exciting.

One thing I didn't consider is how his own people would manipulate the F out of him. They probably have AI-crafted crap playing on a loop and he has no idea.

Even the name of the company is as if written by a 1st year screenwriter.

Argentina gets $20 billion. Qatar gets an air base on US soil. Dipshit gets nearly $1 billion to retrofit his flying bribe. ICE gets $11.25 billion added to their annual detention budget.

But our enlisted personnel are currently hitting up food banks to fucking eat because they aren't getting paid.

~54-57% reduction in menstrual bleeding and ~20% shorter menstrual cycles. Spark Biomedical's OhmBody device is a paradigm shift in treating heavy menstrual bleeding. Non-invasive, non-pharmaceutical. This would have SAVED me.

The people who are employed by we, the citizens, want to traumatize us and cause us pain. They are attacking us. Threatening us. Trying to drive us into fear and chaos.

They must be stopped now.

Why it's so important to fund female health research:

ADHD and premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) are linked. Those with ADHD are at greater risk for PMDD.

We are NOT small men. (And we don't exist FOR men, but that's another post.) #primarycare
What is PMDD? Study finds link between serious condition and women with ADHD
A recent study found that having ADHD makes women around three times more likely to experience premenstrual dysphoric disorder

Adding: Peter Thiel’s company, Palantir, signed a partnership with Oura. The ring that records your personal health data. 😳

He also funds 28, a “menstrual-focused” app and right-wing Cosmo mag, Evie.

Wellness influencers are killing people. Paloma Shemirani was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, which 80% of people survive, at age 22. She was dead within 7 months because dietary changes and coffee enemas didn’t work. Her airway collapsed under pressure from a tumor and she died at age 23.

When the CDC dashboards are updated, pay attention to your local data. Personally, I’ll prioritize local data. And note discrepancies.
altcdc.altgov.info
🖥️Most CDC data dashboards are not being updated during the shutdown. Go to your state (or local/county) health department for up to date information on respiratory viruses, food borne outbreaks, and other health information.

after the 10th radioactive shrimp recall in 7 weeks, i decided to do some digging

little did i know it would lead me to an underreported industrial accident that may have released an airborne plume of radioactive debris over swaths of indonesia

Imagine if research wasn’t kneecapped (just in time).

Each year in the United States, pollution from the oil & gas industry causes 91K premature deaths, more than 10K pre-term births, 216K cases of childhood asthma, & more than 1600 cancer cases. People of color are significantly more affected, with the biggest burden in predominantly Black communities
The health burden and racial-ethnic disparities of air pollution from the major oil and gas lifecycle stages in the United States
Largest total population health burden is from O&G end-use, but greatest relative disparities are linked to downstream activities.

That's when his ego runs away with him and he switches friend groups, starts hanging out with the rich mice. It wasn't much before another 200 mice "moved into" town that he formed his first organized crime group: Ice Mice

First time seeing it through their POV and 😂!

He made the family proud, probably got a date out of it after telling the story of how the horses chased him and there were pitchforks and fire; it was a good, good night for the gatherer.
