Nobody Has My Condition But Me Medical researchers find my genetic mutation endlessly fascinating. But being unique isn’t a plus when you’re a patient.

After doctors discovered Beverly Gage’s novel genetic mutation, she became a medical curiosity. “Doctors often blurt out that my situation is ‘fascinating’ before catching themselves,” she writes. “Nobody really wants to be fascinating in quite this way.”

France urges EU to reassess Israel trade partnership over Gaza rights abuses France has called for a review of the EU-Israel Association Agreement amid growing concern over Israel’s blockade of humanitarian aid to Gaza.

Situationen i Gaza får nu Frankrig til at støtte kravet om en kritisk revision af EU's frihandelsaftale med Israel. Kravet er tidligere blevet fremsat af Irland, Spanien og Slovenien og for nyligt også af Nederlandene. Danmark er fortsat ikke blandt de lande, der presser på. rfi.fr/en/internati...

Haunted by hopelessness: 12 Zambians share their stories as HIV drugs run out Mothers and children, husbands and wives, doctors, truck drivers and religious leaders are all grappling with the fallout from the sudden U.S. cuts in aid.

I look at close to 100 stories a week and even more outside of work. I’ve done this ten years.

This is among the most horrific things I’ve ever read — testimony from dying children whose access to medicine has been cut off by the Trump administration.

A US tariff pathology is unleashed upon the world [FREE TO READ] The Republicans have allowed a destructive economic nationalist to lead America into chaos

My Trade Secrets response to the tariffs.

Bad news: these tariffs cd be worse than the 1930s & the Republicans are inflicting their deep pathology on the world.

Good news: this is as yet a US trade war, not a world trade war. Others can resist following Trump's crazy road.

Congratulations to Greenland’s new government and Premier-elect Jens-Frederik Nielsen.

You deserve partners who respect you and treat you as equals.

And the European Union is proud to be such a partner for you.

Genetic architecture in Greenland is shaped by demography, structure and selection - Nature We illustrate that including data from Greenlandic Inuit can greatly reduce inequity in genomic-based healthcare in Greenland and other indigenous Arctic populations.

Really fascinating bit of work on #genetics of #Greenland - it really demonstrates why it's important to include people from diverse origins in genetic databases, but more importantly, it's also about HOW to include indigenous people in research + data sovreignty.

Opinion | Musk Said No One Has Died Since Aid Was Cut. That Isn’t True. (Gift Article) A journey through the front lines of global poverty shows that when the world’s richest men slash aid for the world’s poorest children, the result is sickness, starvation and death.

Estimated number of people who could die within a year without American foreign aid for:

H.I.V. prevention and treatment: 1,650,000

Vaccines: 500,000

Food aid: 550,000

Malaria prevention: 290,000

Tuberculosis prevention: 310,000

The drug’s eliminated on the porcelain throne

Occasional reminder that there’s no, “it’s too late, its over” for anthropogenic climate change. Every molecule of CO2 that doesn’t go into the atmosphere makes a difference. Preventing 0.1 degree of warming makes a difference. Every bit of climate resilience we build together makes a difference.

The three richest men in the world are all genuflecting before Trump.

All to curry favor so they can maintain their control over our political and economic systems — and to avoid accountability for their abuses of power.

This is what oligarchy looks like.
