With 2024 just around the corner, it's hard to fathom why Democrats aren't pushing this nomination through Congress. @STAT's Sarah Owermohle on the slow roll of the confirmation of NIH director nominee Monica Bertagnolli. https://www.statnews.com/2023/07/10/biden-nih-bertagnolli-bernie-sanders/

In rural India, attending treatment for cancer can mean day labourers giving up their pay.
One cancer centre in India is offering free food and accommodation—and even ad hoc employment—in a bid to get to the root of the problem.

Mohamad Hafez born Syria, 1984, lives America
Damascene Athan, 7, 2017
Mixed media, plaster, pigment, found objects, audio recording
Gift of the Barjeel Art Foundation, 2018.40a-b
Although Syria was a safe haven for Circassian refugees from Russia in the late nineteenth century, with the start of the civil war in 2011, Syrians fled the country to seek refuge elsewhere. In this work, Mohamad Hafez draws attention to Damascus, the capital of Syria and his hometown until the civil war began. An audio recording made by the artist during his last visit before the crisis captures the peaceful sounds of the city, including a call to prayer (athan) from the city's Great Mosque, children playing, and people conversing in a café. Hafez repurposed small objects in an ornate frame that is similar to those he was familiar with from his life in Syria. A surveillance camera and a secret service vehicle parked in front of houses draw attention to the danger looming over the city and the tensions between civilians and the Syrian regime.
• Provenance: Gift of the Barjeel Art Foundation, 2018."

In Japanese mythology Fujin is a Shinto wind kami (god), usually portrayed as a fearsome-looking deity sitting on or walking over the clouds and carrying a sack containing the winds. His rival is Raijin, the god of thunder. When the two gods come together in the sky, that is when the worst storms happen. Even though they are portrayed as fierce, they are also respected as protector deities.

Interview: metascientist @smirandafield talked with me about why publishing in top journals is only for the rich, why it costs the same to publish in #Nature whether you're in the US or Bolivia, and how some publishers make you pay extra for print copies that are never produced.

Century-Old Mystery Of ‘Blood Waterfall’ In Antarctica May Finally Be Solved 🧊🩸
'The new podcast The Retrievals hears from a dozen women who had the same procedure at the Yale Fertility Center and who all reported extreme pain throughout. At the time they were told by staff they had been given the maximum amount of pain relief, meaning they couldn’t have more. However, it later transpired that a nurse at the clinic had been stealing fentanyl and replacing it with saline solution. It is thought that 200 patients had been denied pain relief during egg retrievals over a period of five months.'

'Djuna has been publishing science fiction (and film criticism) in South Korea for over 25 years, without making any biographical revelations. “Counterweight,” their first full-length work to appear in English, in a crisp translation by Anton Hur, is an efficient, fast-paced cyberpunk story that is at its best when unpacking the ramifications of the ubiquitous “Worms,” neural implants that network users together and offer various kinds of augmentation, from internet-like access to information to much stranger mutations in perception and personality.'

Would love it if the #fediverse could recommend some good resources for tweens/teen on basic principles of #onlineSafety + personal #cybersecurity . Ideally something fun and not necessarily involving parents (who god knows that age group often don't listen to, or who may in worst case be actively abusive).
I'm thinking from basics like using password managers to how to organise cloud backups to what data #privacy and tracking actually means...
Ideally English

'Many tech platforms have instituted policies against misinformation or hateful speech that have resulted in content such as election denial, anti-vaccine falsehoods and far-right conspiracy theories being removed – all which tend to skew Republican. But research has found that allegations of anti-conservative bias at social media companies have little empirical evidence, with a 2021 New York University study showing that these platforms’ algorithms instead often work to amplify rightwing content.'
