Dr. Jackson, my daughter attends Wellesley College and is looking for a summer internship in forensic pathology. She is a hardworking, meticulous biochem major and does have some experience interning with medical examiners and pathologist. Could she send you her resume? She's an aspiring M.E.

Landry calls for LSU to punish professor for alleged speech Republican governor Jeff Landry, claiming to defend free speech, is publicly targeting a specific professor for brief alleged classroom comments on Trump voters.

Another disturbing story about the Governor of Louisiana. He is using his own policy of free speech to ask LSU to reprimand a LSU Law School professor who spoke out about he who shall not be named. www.insidehighered.com/news/faculty...

My daughter just started college, also AuDHD. Everything seems important to her. She also struggles with lengthy writing. I usually ask her to explain things to me in simple terms, and then I have her simplify it further. She's way smarter than me. Can you bounce your ideas off of someone? It helps

Really concerning for Texas Public schools and public schools in general. With so many other things going on, this seems to have flown under the radar, which is scary.

Garry Kasparov tweet:
β€œThe ability of demagogues & autocrats to surprise, to create a new scandal every day, is their superpower. It diminishes attention to the previous day's transgressions & normalizes them.
It slowly numbs the senses, including outrage. Values are the only defense. Hold them dear.”

Our first born was 2lbs 14oz and born at 32 weeks. We are so grateful to our NICU nurses. NICU parents were required to take a parenting class on caring for your NICU baby before they left & we learned so much. We were absolutely terrified as new parents taking home such a tiny baby.

The race to understand 'immune amnesia' Scientists have known for years that measles can alter the immune system – but the latest evidence suggests it's less of a mild tweaking, and more of a total reset.

β€œWhen you're infected with #measles, your #immune system abruptly forgets every pathogen it's ever encountered before – every cold, every bout of flu, every exposure to bacteria or viruses, every #vaccination. The loss is near-total and permanent.” If you are #antivax, you are courting death.
