Vaccines are safe and effective.

Autism isn't caused by vaccines, and autistic people and their families deserve our support.

When you want information, ask your doctor.

It's more important than ever for all of us to speak plainly, truthfully, and directly about public health.

My quote of the day

Science is the search for truth, that is the effort to understand the world: it involves the rejection of bias, of dogma, of revelation, but not the rejection of morality.

PhD student Natalie Coy spoke on Radio National this morning about the Seeds of the Sea citizen science project. This project asks citizen scientists to report sightings of Posidonia seagrass flowers in NSW, to inform future restoration of this endangered species. 🌊🌐🧪

Australia’s only shrew has been declared extinct. Australia leads the world in mammal extinctions and ranks second for loss of biodiversity. We need better funding for conservation action and stronger environmental laws to uphold our international commitments to prevent further extinctions 🧪

The age that autism is diagnosed may partly reflect underlying biological and developmental differences among individuals with autism, according to a study in Nature. go.nature.com/4gQ5gSV 🧬 🧪

"Never before have we issued a joint public warning like this."

The latest from former U.S. surgeons general Jerome Adams, Richard Carmona, Joycelyn Elders, Vivek Murthy, Antonia Novello and David Satcher:
Opinion | Six surgeons general: It’s our duty to warn the nation about RFK Jr.
We took an oath to declare dangers when we found them. We’re doing that again today.

The HPV vaccine is doing what had been promised.
17 years after it became available, HPV infections decreased significantly in vaccinated people and unvaccinated people because of herd immunity. buff.ly/WvjQ1BS

🤔 Aaron Siri, a lawyer friend/ally of RFK Jr is making 💰 off / leading lawsuits that dovetail with RFK Jr’s anti vax + Tylenol autism noise? Of course, these folks who roll with Dell Bigtree are shaping US public health policy from the very top 🙃 📰 🎁 🔗 www.nytimes.com/2025/10/03/h...
Screenshot of text snippet from article, reads:  Mr. Bigtree said that getting polio was "like having a cold," a notion that public health experts say is false and dangerous. He said that infection with the disease could offer strong immunity. "Polio is not the epidemic that we believe that it is," Mr. Bigtree said

Yet again, we see that vaccinated mothers tend to have healthier pregnancies and infants.

Women who were vaccinated against COVID during pregnancy had a 34% lower risk of severe preterm birth before 28 weeks & lower risk of congenital anomalies.

It took off because they foist it on you.. like Explorer pre-installed on Windows. I remember being super annoyed when Apple changed their Music App to be “subscription”-forward. Eventually I gave in for “convenience,” sake. And yeah, it can be expensive to buy every MP3.. but wow we got hoodwinked

So yeah, subscription services have pretty thoroughly enshittified the experience of listening to music. Amazing feat.

Just (re)-discovering the huge MP3 library I presciently backed up to Dropbox ~12 years ago. (Kiddos: Back in ancient times we would buy CDs and “rip” them to MP3 or buy MP3 albums) Streaming music I own using CloudBeats. What a revelation! Sound quality much better than Spotify or Apple Music too
