On the left side of the image, the podcast's cover art is displayed. The text reads "People Behind the Science with Dr. Marie McNeely". On the right hand side, there is a headshot photo of Dr. Alexis Wood. She is a white woman with long blonde hair and blue eyes. She is wearing a blue shirt, and she is smiling at the camera. The photo was taken outside, and there is greenery in the background.

In der Mitte steht ein europäischer Geistlicher in schwarzer Robe und mit ausgestrecktem Arm. Links im Bild ist ein Textfeld, das Worte in seiner vermeintlichen Rede enthält. Rechts steht ihm ein indigener Mann gegenüber, der in traditionelle Gewänder gekleidet ist und ein Argument darlegt, das in einem zweiten Textfeld steht. Im Hintergrund befinden sich weitere Personen, die auf dieses Gespräch zu reagieren scheinen.

Seit dem Jahre 1995 ist der 16. November, initiiert durch die UNESCO, der Tag der Toleranz. Gerade in einer Zeit da Toleranz sich zum Fremdwort zu entwickeln droht scheint es umso sinnvoller daran zu erinnern. Mehr dazu weiß diese Seite zu berichten: www.kuriose-feiertage.de/internationa...

this killed me
A woodpecker with a red spot on its head is perched on the side of a palm tree, seemingly having just disturbed the sleep of a camouflaged owl, which is peeking out with wide eyes and an annoyed expression. The scene is set against a backdrop of tropical foliage, and a caption reads, 'IT IS THE DAYTIME, HECTOR. THE DAY. WHEN I SLEEP. WHAT THE FUCK.'"

American actor & writer Wil Wheaton posted a photo of himself & his wife at a hockey game, both wearing masks. As expected, quite a few replied with anti-mask messages. So he answered:
Covid is very much still A Thing, and so is the flu, the common cold, and other respiratory illnesses. I started masking during the pandemic, because I didn't want to get sick and die. I have kept masking when I'm in close proximity to other people, large crowds, or small indoor spaces because I haven't had the flu or a cold or, gods forbid, Covid, since I made that choice. It's such a tiny, simple, thing and it makes a huge difference for me. It's too bad that so many people have decided to make another personal health choice that is none of their business, that doesn't affect them at all, just another part of their culture war. And it tells you everything you need to know about a person when they are a dick about it. Photo of Wil Wheaton and his wife at a hockey game, both wearing masks.

🧪 A new study shows promise with the use of CRISPR to modify a liver gene (PCSK9) in people suffering from Familial Hypercholesterolemia, which causes high cholesterol and puts them at risk for heart disease. The editing of the gene leads to reduction of LDL, or the “bad cholesterol”. 🧬🖥️

Happy MedicineMonday 💊 🩺 🧪 🌾 🗃️

It’s cold/flu/other respiratory illness reason, so I’ll be sharing some vintage medical products over the next couple months, like Blosser’s Medical Powder with stramonium (jimsonweed, hallucinogen) and belladonna (deadly nightshade, toxic)

www.si.edu/stories/six-...
A tin of Blosser’s Medical Powder with a red label and an elderly man on the front. The active ingredients are siramonium, belladonna alkaloids, and eucalyptus. Beneath reads “for relief of paroxysms of bronchial asthma to allay discomforts of excessive secretions due to hay fever and to ease nasal and bronchial congestion due to colds.”
