I found out some horrible info about my college boyfriend today. This (joke) project sounds quite timely

Evolution Keeps Reinventing The Appendix. Here's Why It May Be Important. Most people know only two things about the appendix: You don't need it – and if it bursts, you need surgery fast.

Really interesting new findings about the human appendix, an organ which most people know very little.

It’s true that vaccine access could be improved but these challenges haven’t significantly worsened over the last 10 years. Vaccine hesitancy has.

The problem is misinformation and public health researchers pretending otherwise is not helping.

First-of-its-kind vaccine protects children from deadly intestinal infections ETVAX is the first vaccine that offers significant protection against pathogenic E. coli in children

Damn. This is just punishment for the “elite eggheads” (in republican eyes)…cutting of their noses to spite their faces

Down the hatch of the manosphere! Why so afraid to let your incel racist flag fly here, dude? Oh, cuz you’re under oath?

Be wary of anyone calling women and girls “females”

Gosh I wonder if his doctors are wearing masks…😡🤪

WTF is this bullshit

😷 Annie Dodge Wauneka was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom for her work fighting tuberculosis in Navajo Nation.

Schumer reiterates — again — that Senate Democrats will block the SAVE act

the reverse version of those “evolution of man” drawings

SO when we say transphobia is inherently an attack on everyone's freedom, it's no longer metaphorical.

I need to get tested 😬

I'm unsure how people really think people were downplaying a virus that can kill you, make you go blind, wipe out your immune system for years, and oh yeah come back and kill you a decade after you thought you'd shaken it.

What do you think are essential resources for an Anthropology of Nutrition class? I am BIG on the biology side of our nutrition (evolution, etc.) but also interested in the cultural side!

Should be more bio-focused than our Anth of Food class - for upper ugrads and some grad students

A step toward a universal vaccine!

LET'S GO! But I am afraid of Dunkelosteus...

During the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, a student made a false claim about the vaccine to my class. In extreme frustration, I snapped that "we will have NONE of THAT misinformation here." I regretted my anger, but not the sentiment - now I practice my framing (honey vs. vinegar)

Labels. For instance, the SCOTUS judges who are devout Catholics *have values similar to* evangelicals, so...?

NEW in PLOS Global Public Health:

New research highlights how Native American families navigated worsened food & water access during COVID‑19—drawing on resilience, family support, and traditional foodways to protect young children’s nutrition. #IndigenousHealth #FoodJustice

Would like more of this directed at Stephen Miller as he is the real power behind the throne

The new Frankenstein if you haven’t seen it already!

Big W from Tish James here.

This is eugenics. Genocide. An attack on science, medical ethics, bodily autonomy, and human rights.

Where is the outcry from the biomedical community? Trans people aren't just abstract patients and research participants: We're your friends, family, and co-workers.

Speak up before it's too late

Fully onboard with roasting Noem, who is committing human rights violations with ICE and DHS left and right...

However, I do wonder if this level of *vitriol* aimed at Bondi and Noem has flavors of misogyny baked in?

OY, another person tied to Peter Thiel

NSF is the premier govt agency funding basic research and we need to protect it!!
