Researchers found a 62% drop in cervical cancer deaths in young women over the last decade due to HPV vaccination! That’s huge!

There is a human tissue that builds itself up and breaks itself down every 28 days (on average) using non-scarring wound healing and instead of studying that and learning everything we can about it we think it's gross and look for other less relevant models to understand wound healing.

70% of scientists say they experience the imposter syndrome. I still experience it too sometimes, and what helps is talking with a science buddy with whom it’s ok to say stupid things, which may actually turn out to be good ideas.

If you are wanting to reach across the aisle and help restore trust in science, the very first step is knowing your audience.

Here's what they found.
