Children need to be believed, heard, and given treatment options. Paediatric biomedical research is underfunded.

Breakthroughs in nuclear fusion only happen if you have a government that promotes science—not talking snakes, miracles, and Ivermectin.

I'm convinced that the insistence not to be #CovidCareful of many people who really should know better is subconscious resentment of people who haven't already had #COVID as many times as they have. When they say, "Everybody's going to get it eventually so we should live our lives and stop trying to avoid it," what they really mean is, "I've already had it, so YOU should stop trying to avoid it. Why should you get to not have it when I didn't?"

'Harvard still boasts a fellowship and a professorship named for Alfried Krupp, a Nazi war criminal whose industrial empire used around 100,000 forced laborers.

Harvard is not alone: From NASA to Stanford to the United States Army, American institutions continue to acknowledge — and sometimes even celebrate — high-profile former Nazis.'

Humans have learned absolutely nothing in a century.

This is a real newspaper article regarding people's behavior during the 1918 influenza outbreak.

One potential explanation for why Mastodon is less argumentative than Twitter is that its character limits allow users to more effectively communicate their ideas, reducing the likelihood of misinterpretation.#xp

You stop trying to win the game when you realize you’re playing with clowns.

Stages of getting into a new research thing

1. No one has thought of this
2. Oh, some people have, but it’s not exactly the same
3. Oh, it’s exactly the same
4. OMG, everyone already knows about this, but they all call it something different

'Recently, more than 100 novel #antiviral prokaryotic systems were uncovered (2–7). Among them, multiple bacterial antiviral systems were identified as the evolutionary origin of eukaryotic antiviral proteins, including CBASS (homolog of the eukaryotic cGAS/STING pathway), gasdermins, viperins or Avs (related to the NLR family) (8–12). In this work, we explore whether novel eukaryotic immune components can be identified by homology with prokaryotic defense systems.'

What we learned thru #covid is just as important thru #flu. Currently in the #us and #canada there are abnormally high rates of flu and deaths from flu.

Usually governments provide reliable information about for example diseases or catastrophes. If news organizations aren't proving reliable information about (some) current topics, one might argue that it doesn't provide reliable information about governmental issues like corruption in the government or how a government's actions is affecting its average citizens. In fact it's demonstrably true that most corporate news organizations dont provide reliable information about such governmental topics. It's sexier (more $$$) to talk about whatever some fringe Republican has said or what Drumpf is doing because there's drama there. There's not much drama in reporting about e.g. efficacy of certain homelessness prevention measures compared to other measures.

[Text of letter to your elected officials:
I'm writing to ask you to fully support the Biden Administration's request for emergency funding for COVID-19 response. The American people need you to wholeheartedly support money to weather the winter surge; to keep tests, vaccines, and treatments available to the American people; to research long COVID; and to develop next-generation vaccines to truly put this pandemic nightmare behind us. We must also ensure that the vaccine is available globally. Again, as a constituent, I'm asking you to fight for this funding.]
