Worse than Tuskegee because at least at the start of that trial there wasn't already an effective therapy. Hit's all the other marks though - single blind, on a vulnerable population, white investigators, black patients etc. Just a big ol racist boondoggle.

As I reported 3 days ago, Russia is demanding NATO roll back to its 1997 borders.

Such disappointment, especially Czechia and Bulgaria, you should know better
At least 7 EU countries now oppose using frozen Russian assets to fund a reparations loan for Ukraine, reports Euractiv.

Our experiment manipulates whether habitat fragments are connected by corridors, as well as how much edge fragments have
After starting populations of these species in each fragment (by transplanting), we've tracked growth of their populations for the past 18 years
