It’s going to get ugly for good science. Let’s hope there’s a recovery position.
This seems fine………
Head of NASA Sean Duffy intends to destroy a satellite that collects key data on carbon dioxide and plant health, by causing it to burn up in the atmosphere. The U.S. Dept of Agriculture and private agriculture firms use the data to forecast crop yield, drought conditions and more.

I would like people to stop wishing #pancreaticcancer on people they don’t like - even the Trump. It’s a terrible affliction, it makes life unbearable. An insidious disease comes out of nowhere to strike you down. The Whipple can remove the cancer but still the after effects are a nightmare.

Discord is the likely platform/model.
I think AI is going to eventually tank in the longterm, but...

the only real way to combat this is single-interest communities. Forums, user comms, etc, with a barrier to entry. They become trustable knowledgebases. It's really the only way forward is to return to what worked best the first time

Higher alcohol intake is linked to elevated pancreatic cancer risk 🍷🧬. Findings may inform discussions in #gastroenterology and broader #cancerprevention strategies.

I’m entirely convinced of this although my alcohol consumption was moderate against what I saw in others there’s likely a genetic component as well.

Here’s a small request. I’d like people to stop wishing pancreatic cancer on people - even on Trump. It’s a devastating form of cancer and affects everyone around the sufferer. It’s truly insidious and will effect every part of life for ever more, even if you make it to ‘no evidence of disease’.

Looks good but I gotta get out of bed. It’s almost 10am.

Can we just stop wishing #pancreaticcancer on people. Most of us that live with it and endure the daily issues that the surgery brings with it, we have very challenging lives.

Pancreatic cancer is deadly, often diagnosed too late. Called the silent killer for a reason. Learn the facts, spread awareness, and support research. 🧬
