A tiny trial in New York has shown that personalized mRNA vaccines can provoke massive, lasting immune responses against pancreatic cancer, even as sweeping federal cuts now threaten the fragile labs required to produce them.

Our troops should be able to fix their own equipment.

It's outrageous that swampy corporate lobbyists and the politicians carrying their water stripped our military's "Right to Repair" out of the defense bill.
Right now, greedy defense contractors are blocking our troops from fixing their own equipment.

Congress had a bipartisan plan to fix that, but lobbyists stopped it.

@deluzio.house.gov and I aren't giving up on this. Our troops should have the right to repair their own stuff.

The South Carolina measles outbreak is “accelerating.” 111 people have contracted the contagious viral infection in since October, and more than 250 people are quarantined. Officials blamed the outbreak on “lower-than-hoped-for” vaccination rates: Of the 111 cases, 105 were unvaccinated.

US unemployment claims jumped by the most since the 2020 pandemic last week, according to Labor Department data.

Another failure by the inept and corrupt Trump Administration.

Wide childhood measles vaccination ⬆️ Americans personal earnings by about $450 per person per year.

Estimate contrasts long-run adult earnings of people who grew up just before vs after measles vax rolled out decades ago.

Burning our present & future, for what?

Disabled veterans are getting scammed.

And thanks to Donald Trump’s attacks on government watchdogs like the CFPB, the scammers are getting away with it.

WOW. @haleaziz.bsky.social with a new scoop: ICE now gets a running list of every person who is going to be taking a domestic flight inside the United States from the TSA and runs it through their database looking for targets. This explains the Babson College student's arrest.

Holiday reminder. Do not donate to The Salvation Army. There are many worthwhile charities to choose from if you get the urge to donate. This homophobic and transphobic should not get your dollars to support their hatred.

Monsanto scientists ghostwrote this paper claiming the company’s proprietary glyphosate & roundup herbicides had no risk to human health.

25 years & 1300 citations later, it has finally been retracted — 8 years after the collusion was exposed.

You can do this right now:

Think of a person who wrote a paper you love, whose work influenced or helped you, or has made your professional life better.

Search up their email address. Shoot them a quick email of thanks. It means so, so much. This is a rough time of year, share some joy.

I need you to listen to and share this story - of how Trump is preparing to abandon Ukraine in exchange for Russian money for his billionaire friends.

It could be the greatest corruption of American foreign policy in our history. Russia gets Ukraine. Trump's friends get rich.

A must watch.
A powerful video from Norway displays gender based inequality. The look of dismay & confusion on the girls' faces upon receiving less for the same task was a little painful.

They agreed it was unfair.

Here’s the thing, emerging scientists aren’t going to flee to do science elsewhere…they just won’t do the science.

We will lose at least one, if not two generations of knowledge if we don’t get this shit sorted out immediately.
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?
