A *huge* vaccine victory. I've been writing on this for years; Australia has seen remarkable progress in cervical cancer prevention with the HPV vaccine. I love seeing science triumph like this.
Australia recorded ZERO cases of cervical cancer in women under 25 for the first time since they started tracking the cancer in the 80s.
This is the power of vaccines.
The HPV vaccine is extremely effective at preventing cancer.
Viruses can be oncogenic. Get your vaccines and protect yourself!

Vaccination programs have played a key role, and GPs remain ‘instrumental’ in boosting screening rates to reach the 2035 target.

I don't do anything to the yard - it's floodplain covered in brush and trees and ivy. Tree falls, leave it to rot in place. It's amazing how much responsible conservation can simply be "don't poke at it".

Folks, if your library doesn’t have a book you want to read, ask them to buy a copy. Most have a convenient form and will let you know when it comes in. If your library offers ILL, they can even borrow books from other libraries.

I am on vacation. I was out of hummus.
I don't like beets but we have some in the recent CSA box and I hate to throw away food and I thought with enough garlic and other spices it might be okay and I overspice the hummus anyway so it'll be fine. Right?
