🔍 This recent study explores how exercise impacts #equinewelfare in the UK.

Surveying 804 horse owners, the research found that while exercise is linked to reduced risk of laminitis & Equine Metabolic Syndrome, many owners face barriers to providing exercise.

With science falling under increasing attack, this medical historian is here to remind people of the power of #vaccines. THREAD🧵

Hard-hitting polio advert from 1958. In the first half of the 20th century, polio was the leading cause of death in children and young adults. 1/7

An advertisement for the polio vaccine which reads: "they all got vaccine except dad...don't take a chance...take your polio shots!" It depicts a photo of a family gathered around a father who is in an iron lung.

As expected, the Trump team is already deleting climate info from government websites. In anticipation, our team at Urban Ocean Lab created a permanent archive of 100+ key resources and published a permanent archive: www.urbanoceanlab.org/resource-hub 👩🏽‍💻

To accompany all those Bluesky science/academia
#starterpacks, let's share introductions to the literature of our different fields.

Below, I humbly submit 12 main types of scientific papers on food, agriculture, land, & natural climate solutions (inspired by the amazing @xkcd.com). #FoodStudies 🧪

Grid of 12 fake journal articles with the title "Types of scientific paper on food, land, and natural climate solutions"

The papers have the following titles:

1. We're more doomed than you thought
2. We're more doomed than you thought, but theoretically we could still be OK if everything works out perfectly
3. Here is a solution that fixes everything if implemented everywhere by everyone forever
4. My sector isn't part of the problem (funded by sector)
5. Here are some highly technical results, good luck understanding them
6. Counting up carbon in trees, plants, and soils
7. Technology is good
8. Technology is bad
9. Great result in a specific place and context! But headlines will make it seem applicable everywhere
10. People are counting stuff wrong, here is a more right but more complicated solution
11. Let's put more nature on farms
12. Let's put less farms in nature
