Not me reading this while sitting in a day-long workshop / pitch sesh by one such RWE company.
But also, you are giving epis too much credit for the political capital needed to drive this market. Every champion (in the US at least) has an MD. I dunno if MBBSs have the same cachet...
Wilhelmina Crosson (1900 β 1991) was one of the first African-American female teachers in Boston and developed city's first remedial reading program in 1935. She was also an early advocate of Black History education.

Such beautiful penmanship, too.
The evidence for age at menarche/first gravid must be endogenous to the socioenvironmental causes that cause/confound them. The intervention is not age itself. Other behavioral causes that change hormonal profile, sure, but I think they are more relevant to trends in HICs than the global population.

What reproductive cause are you referring to? Reduced fertility rates?
The survey being distributed via email by USF researchers for R1 faculty on AI use is good β I would encourage you to participate
(unlike the internal university survey on AI I recently received that had me yelling at the questions)
Today should be your 38th birthday.. When you lose your son you lose more than a child you lose a piece of your heart and your joy. Life is forever altered, and nothing can ever fill that space. Yet in my soul, he remains, my precious boy, forever loved. His laughter, his smile, and his love are woven into who I am. My love for him will never fade. Yor are my pride and my joy - you've made a change that cannot be broken..
Alex's mom on his 38th birthday.

Is this going to be a Boy Mom vs. Girl Dad 2026?
It's shaping up that way...

Can confirm the southern suburbs are still SWARMING with ICE and they are still doing door knocking and abducting people from cars this morning. At least one abandoned car on the 101 bridge and a raid on an apartment complex in downtown Shakopee. Itβs not even noon. Drawdown my fat ass.

βCut ICEβs budget to restore federal health care fundingβ is an extremely popular message www.politico.com/f/?id=000001...
As a former medic, this Month I tip my cap to the OG paramedics from Freedom House in Pittsburgh. Young Black men & women who were the first to practice advanced EMS in the streets, being the solution for their neighborhood when (as so often) no one else would.

Reading @rfkuang.bsky.social's Babel and in wonder at how timely it is, personally & more broadly.
She captures so well the conflicted migrant who imagined technical mastery a route to acceptance. Inadequacy then becomes motivation to be a tool of colonialism, leveraged against one's own community.
Well in America, probusiness is providing huge incentives and tax advantages and demanding nothing. Everything else is antibusiness. So.. π€·π½ββοΈ
Video shows ICE leaving behind an infant and broken glass after arresting a man with no criminal history.

This is bullshit. We're stuck paying dues to them even for kid's leagues.

Are you family with RCMI (research centers for minority serving institutions) network led by Morehouse? It includes a number of HBCUs and would be an ideal place for your area of clinical research. DM me and I can help connect. I also have colleagues at a HBCUs outside RCMI as well.

Not be lost amongst more pressing issues, but PRAMS is up for renewal and the Federal comment period ends Jan 20.

Funny, I made this case Day 1 of my Epi methods class this term and it seems (unfortunately) students' minds were blown.
We care about doing it right; the number or plot at the end can't actually tell you whether you've done it right. (Though it might be able to tell you if you did it wrong.)
Thereβs a big story everyone is missingβbut this article hits on it.
We arenβt just seeing public health dismantled bc weβve been taken over by conspiracy theorists and lunatics.
What weβre really seeing is the giant, predatory, underegulated wellness industry come to Washington.
Among perpetrators of violence, there is a very small share who are independently motivated to violence. But the vast majority of perpetrators commit violence to seek approval and status from others.
This is particularly true among men who use violence to affirm their masculinity.
