Why We Know So Little About What Medications Are Safe for Pregnancy

“There’s a growing consensus that we should be thinking less about protecting pregnant women from research and instead think about the benefits of protecting people through research.”

There's a Dangerous Gap in Drug Research in Pregnancy

Less than 1 percent of clinical trials include pregnant or breastfeeding people. Experts say that needs to change

my wife got frustrated with the kids wanting the crust cut off their sandwiches, so (in revenge), she’s going to bake the crusts into something

the idea is still percolating, we’ll see what it ends up being. but they will like it!!

A square glass baking dish sits on a wooden table. Inside the dish are several short strips of toasted or baked bread, arranged loosely side by side. The glass has some white residue, possibly from butter, sauce, or batter, suggesting something was baked or served earlier. The table’s surface is light brown with visible grain and knots.

IgNobel --> Nobel pipeline continues

Oregon 🕎🎲 @oregonthedm.bsky.social · 9d

Scientists that won the 2024 IgNobel Prize for "discovering that many mammals are capable of breathing through their anus" have completed a successful first-in-human trial testing the safety and tolerability of enteral ventilation, a technique that gets oxygen-rich fluid pumped into the anus.

Is it worse to have the gene variant that hates cilantro or the variant that loves milk chocolate? I have both of these gene variants and my partner has neither.

He's exactly as good of a spy as he needs to be to advance the plot -- steals files in TTSS, lets Westerby escape in THB. He's exactly as clueless as he needs to be to ask questions as the audience surrogate.

Was going to write a long thread about why Peter Guillam (a.k.a. Blonde Sherlock) is not a good spy in John le Carre's Quest for Karla trilogy, but realized it's pointless.
