Seriously though, even if you disagree with me, you really should use this extension. It will just open more doors in your research journey. Yes, I think most of you are conspiracy-poisoned, but I am passionate about science, I believe it should accessible. We need to be educational and open.

unpaywall.org It's a great browser extension for getting through some paywalls, it's not foolproof though!

pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC... this more modern one explains that the more recent benefits have been minimal (consider fluoridated toothpaste, better dental hygiene, etc.), but the cost and especially RISK of water fluoridation is also so minimal that it's overall a net positive.

Actually, when Frederick McKay and G.V. Black studied fluoridation back in the early 1900's, McKay found the residents of Colorado Springs had surprisingly healthy teeth that were just horribly brown. Basically, they consumed too much natural fluoride! Their teeth were amazing, just *looked* bad.

link.springer.com/article/10.1... Interesting, Kuwait doctors seem to agree dental caries are important to treat but are mostly concerned about fluorosis, kind of silly. Fluorosis is just a cosmetic issue that will make your teeth a little brown if you use too much fluoride, but they're good teeth.

We will discuss this. But it’s Friday night so we are going to just say…vaccines are awesome. Sick kids are not.

Almost like we've been telling people fluoride in drinking water is a good thing for a while!! Just more evidence confirming it.
Massive Study Finds No Link Between Fluoride in Tap Water and Lower Child IQ
Researchers tracked thousands of Americans for decades, finding no links between ingesting recommended levels of fluoride and lower cognitive skills

Do you hate the new Vaccines and Autism webpage revisions as much as we do? Yes? Great. Some action items:

1. Submit your concerns through CDC INFO: www.cdc.gov/cdc-info/for...
2. (if not a fed employee) Consider adding "vaccines do NOT cause autism" to your signature line 😈
Email CDC-INFO
Users can use this form to direct questions to the CDC.

This is an appreciation post for the INCREDIBLE @standupforscience.bsky.social staff, who work day in and day out to take on this stupid administration’s war on science and democracy. What started as a post here is now a non-profit with 18 kickass staff. I’m so proud of this team. ❤️✊🏼🫶🏼

It's a censorship engine designed to promote ideas that Elon Musk likes and suppress ideas that Elon Musk does not like. I really don't get why this evident fact - that Musk openly admits! - is so hard for so many people to understand
An X user asks Elon Musk why they’re seeing tweets from left-wing lawmakers.

Musk: “Because we are failing very badly with the recommendations algorithm. Doing my best to address this.”

If you scroll on X, you are only being shown what Elon wants you to see. If you create content on X, no one will see it unless Elon wants them to.

You learn a lot by talking with service workers, especially the ones most people won't bother with. The mom who runs the Chinese place near me is always so sweet, always willing to chat and talk about her life and her kids and how she wants to be a hairdresser one day even though she's older! (1/2)

I appreciate my first aid training and all, I just find it funny that everything I learned from it has been used exclusively in my lab rats rather than people! Chest compressions? Wound treatment? Done both for plenty of rats, we want to make sure they're as healthy as can be. Humans? Not once!

The President of the United States is so upset about his failed campaign for a Nobel Prize that he's now trying to claim someone else's prize as his own.

In 2008, Google created an ad-powered wiki encyclopedia called Knol, seen as a "Wikipedia killer" amid its highly-publicized launch. And the Wikimedia Foundation gave an unbothered response that I quite like: "the more good free content, the better for the world." Anyway Knol instantly flopped

Wikipedia is absolutely not perfect, but I'm not regretting my monthly donation in the slightest. The alternatives they're trying to sell us as "unbiased" or "better" would be atrocious replacements. Most legacy media has fallen to corporate interests, let's defend what we have left.
grokipedia inspired me to read about commercial Wikipedia clones/derivatives and omg "wikiwand" is such a racket! brands itself as "beautiful wikipedia UX" but basically just slaps ads on articles and charges $5/mo to remove them. and misleads you into thinking the $ supports wikipedia!!!

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.
