'The best piece of advice I've had was from John Wallingford, and it was simple: “Read and learn how to write.” Learning how to write will save you a lot of time in a scientific or research career. Writing fast, writing well, writing clearly and concisely in a way makes people excited about your research – this is a skill that will definitely make your life easier.'

Then, there is a fourth stage: they die."

ACIP, a panel of experts that advise CDC on #vaccine policy, currently has more vacancies than it does members, with more vacancies looming a few months from now.

Why has HHS let this problem develop? https://www.statnews.com/2024/02/08/acip-vacancies-hhs-vaccines/

American writer Kate Chopin, best known for her stories about the inner lives of sensitive, daring women was born #OTD in 1850. Her short stories were well received in the 1890s and were published by some of America’s most prestigious magazines—Vogue, the Atlantic Monthly, Harper’s Young People, the Youth’s Companion, and the Century.

New Report Raises Concerns About Long Covid in Children.

A large analysis published Wednesday in the journal Pediatrics underscores the toll long COVID can take on children, in some cases leading to neurological, gastrointestinal, cardiovascular and behavioral symptoms in the months after an acute infection.

This is insane: we made CPAP breathing devices in the 1000s in 2020/21 for the NHS - there are several thousand left over.

Ukraine is desperate for them; a charity has offered to ship them, but the government plan to destroy them instead!! madness.
