In #EPIDEMIOLOGY, we avoid the word "significant". First off, journal policy bans use or mention of significance testing, p values, etc. Further, to avoid confusion with the statistical sense, we have authors replace its qualitative use with terms such as marked, notable, important, or substantial.

Massive defeat for Mike Johnson. Still has to clear the senate, but this is what Dems wanted all along. Johnson has essentially lost control of the gavel after Epstein and now this. Weakest speaker in history.

Senate Republicans want to pass a backdoor abortion ban through the ACA by blocking PRIVATE insurance from covering abortion care.

This is not about Hyde—it's an unprecedented NEW attack on abortion access. Not on my watch.

Also need to watch out for outsourcing our brains and skills to AI.
This is why the Heritage Foundation and Trump want the US population to be uneducated and uninformed. Text book fascist strategy.

Public health recommendations are based on the risks of the population, not the individual.
Why give a Hepatitis B vaccine at birth?

-Hep B is super contagious!
-Many people with Hep B don’t know they’re infected.
-It reduces the rate of pediatric Hep B by 99%.

It's safe, effective & it works!

Trump said today he'll be pardoning former Honduran President Juan Hernandez, who was convicted of drug trafficking and weapons charges in 2024 and sentenced to 45 years in prison.

Waging a drug war on Venezuela while pardoning a narco-terrorist takes hypocrisy to a level once thought impossible.
