Research in Nature Communications suggests that Atlantic grey seal milk rivals human breast milk in sugar complexity. These findings challenge the previously held assumption that human milk is uniquely complex amongst mammals. go.nature.com/4p2hYRW 🧪

NHS England: “It will not be possible to halt the spread of a new pandemic virus, and it would be a waste of public health resources and capacity to attempt to do so.”
This has got to be one of the most 🤯 things I’ve ever seen written down in an official document.

A Chinese immigrant named Chaofeng Ge was found hanging with his arms & legs tied behind his back.
Randall Esquivel was deported in a vegetative state & died soon after.
People are being tortured, neglected & disabled.
Abolish ICE & close the camps.

I guess that in the US many still think that this is a nasty episode and that the dems will sort it out. That they haven't realized yet how impaired the system is, how inequality is reaching paroxysm, how it's all connected with deregulation and political corruption.

It could take decades to recover from where we are.
My teen, who had dreamt of being an astrophysicist, just told me he wants to go to law school because, “Science isn’t going to be a priority in the US in the future…I don’t want a job where I’ll be constantly worried my funding will be taken away.”
Gutting. How many future scientists have we lost?

Note: Getting paid to be a research subject is fine. It's the fact the website self selects for who uses it by being obnoxiously pro-AI. This means it's extremely unlikely anyone against genAi would be using it, making some of the AI based sociological experiments invalid.

Literally the other day I fell down a rabbit hole of clicking on some article someone shared about GenAI, reading the actual study, then noting the exact same names and universities kept coming up in the citations, at least one of which WASN'T EVEN RELEVANT.

Before universal newborn vaccination for Hep B, only about 1/2 of newborns who contracted Hep B got it from the birthing parent. The new ACIP recommendations will needlessly expose those infants for 2 months, and 90% of those who get Hep B will be at risk for liver cancer and cirrhosis. MAHA ftw
