Awesome re-analysis of the Franklin / Crick / Watson story. Explains how Franklin produced (with considerable skill) the *pictures* that made the penny drop for slow-on-the-uptake Watson. Sadly, paywalled.

Daily #cigarette #smokers reported greater cravings and smoked more cigarettes on days when their smartphone-logged tobacco retail exposure was higher than usual. ja.ma/3IQm8fG
Three graphs show the relationship between tobacco retail exposure and craving, and cigarettes smoked. Graph A: 'Craving' shows craving score vs exposure; B: 'Last-hour cigarettes' and C: 'Last-hour cigarettes with 2-h lag'.

Tuesday marks 75 years since the historic September 30, 1950 Doll & Hill BMJ paper confirming smoking as a cause of lung cancer. For 75 years tobacco companies have been selling and promoting products they know are lethal when used as intended.

It's odd that Republicans can do the mental gymnastics to link Tylenol to autism, but not link gun deaths to guns.

Peace is the best medicine - that’s not just a slogan, it's based on evidence. In countries affected by conflict and insecurity:

-70% of disease outbreaks erupt
-Half of all child deaths globally occur
-1 in 5 people suffer from mental health disorders.

The most courageous choose peace.

Cutting down on alcohol isn’t just good for the body – it can help the mind too.
Stories like Evie’s are important to break some of the stigma around alcohol and inspire others to think about their own drinking.

Many countries have reduced deaths from heart disease, cancer, lung disease & diabetes over the past decade. However, in 60% of countries, progress is slowing & in some, the number of deaths is actually rising.

The global 2030 target is at risk unless govts ACT NOW! 👉 bit.ly/4pBAcKL #BeatNCDs #UNGA
Large bold text reads: ‘Progress in preventing deaths due to noncommunicable diseases is slowing.’ Smaller text at the bottom says: ‘The global 2030 target is at risk unless governments ACT NOW!’
