A four panel strip called Campus Interruptus, by John Mortenson. It ran in the University of Maryland, College Park’s newspaper, The Diamondback, in the mid-1990s. A student is filling out a form. First panel: the form asks “Ethnicity? (Check one)” The student thinks, “sigh, here we go again” Second panel: the student selects other and writes in “half-Korean” Third panel: the form asks “if other, please specify country of origin” Fourth panel: the student writes in “Half Korea”

I am convinced that this crocheted sweater is couch camouflage. I could just sit on anyone’s couch and disappear
I am sitting on a couch. I am wearing a sweater with a granny square pattern that is reminiscent of many crocheted throws that people have on the back of their couch.

We have bobbleheads without boxes, and a box without a bobblehead. I have regrets about taking any of them out of their boxes 😭

Cue Tim Gunn asking, “Andre? Where’s Andre?”

A history of better sleep. The pharma company Takeda recently succeeded in phase three trials of their new drug oveporexton, making the drug quite likely to be approved. We’d love to read a history of sleep medications, as well as a shorter piece on why this latest drug could be a breakthrough. Emerging RNA therapies. siRNA is a new type of gene therapy where an RNA molecule ‘silences’ a gene in your body. Drugs that use it seem surprisingly effective at lowering cholesterol and treating other diseases. How does siRNA therapy work, what could it be used for, and how might this new class of medicines change the way we treat and prevent diseases? The amazing decline of genome sequencing costs. Genome sequencing now costs around $500, but twenty years ago it was one of the most expensive scientific projects in history. What technological and economic pushes made this possible, and who made them happen? Drugs that last for months. A new generation of long-acting drugs like lenacapavir points to a different approach to prevention: take one dose, stay protected for half a year (and possibly more). What are the different ways scientists are designing medicines that last so long in the body, and what trade-offs come with durability? Crafting a universal flu vaccine. Each year, scientists study the strains circulating in the population, predict which will dominate, and reformulate the vaccine to match. When those predictions miss, protection drops, and updating the formulation takes time. Could we create a single vaccine that protects against all forms of influenza?

More MAHA infighting.

I’m glad STAT called her a writer and nothing more… but Calley Means calling Emily Oster “the country’s preeminent voice on children’s health”? 🙄 www.statnews.com/2025/11/06/r...
Screenshot from STAT article: “There’s a complicated conversation about obesity and GLP-1’s,” Means posted on X a little over two weeks ago in response to the writer Emily Oster. “But it’s reprehensible for the country’s pre-eminent voice on children’s health to write a breathless essay about a government pathway to mass inject kids with Ozempic.”

A picture is worth a thousand words
To the right, a handful of people are helping a pharma exec who collapsed. To the left, Trump is standing with an annoyed expression on his face. He appears completely unmoved and unempathetic. It’s also possible that he has no idea what’s going on.
