i feel like it's an open question whether or not the flu vaccine will even be available next season
On Friday night, HHS ordered CDC to take down all flu vaccine campaign materials from its website. Materials are starting to come down.
For example, a campaign explaining that flu shot can reduce flu severity from "wild to mild" is now offline. Left image is from Friday, right is now

Interesting deep dive (pardon the pun?) on the pursuit of super-deep geothermal. The potential is really jaw-dropping.
Searching For Climate Salvation In Deep Hellfire | NOEMA
Geothermal energy has become the renewable that got left behind as solar and wind accelerate. Why then do its most determined advocates still insist it could be the key to the renewable energy transit...

The price of eggs in the US is spiking, mostly due to #H5N1 bird flu. Solving the problem requires urgent, important communications from the CDC & FDA* and rapid development of research by the NIH**

Egg prices are soaring again. Here’s why and what to expect
Bird flu has killed millions of hens in recent weeks, shrinking the supply of eggs and hiking up prices at grocery stores.

Trump’s decision to withdraw the U.S. from the Paris Agreement is deeply concerning. This move sidelines us from global climate efforts, aligning us with only four other countries - Iran, Libya, Yemen, and Eritrea. It risks stalling renewable energy progress and has long term consequences. #climate

If you care more about the TikTok ban than you do about these abortion bans, I suggest you consider realigning your priorities.

some ways to generate electricity
A) use sunlight to drive photosynthesis in plants, let plants die, wait ~100 million years, dig up fossilized plants, burn plants, use heat to boil water, use steam to drive a rotating turbine, use generator to make electrons
