Thanks to the Nature team for digging into this. Apportionment is one of those inside-baseball issues that I hoped never to need to learn about... But here was are.
Since there's been so much interest, here is a KGW segment from a few years ago about Steve Terrill, his son, and their experience at Mount St. Helens during that eruption weekend.

Study in Nature that just came out shows a 51 PERCENT drop in Dementia post Shingrix vaccine. That is earth shattering. 19% drop was reported from the older+ less effective vaccine given up to 2019. Whew. So glad I got mine already!
A challenge to remote sensing of #lakes #wetlands #rivers is that many of extant satellite products are corrected for land, making water signatures muted because water is dark. We constantly hear about how we need an aquatic reflectance product. So, we made one. doi.org/10.1002/lol2...

A newborn in Minneapolis hadn’t eaten for a day and a half
Her mother risked going into work when ICE took her away. At home waiting for her were her 16yo daughter and the 3mo baby
The teen tried to feed the baby, who was exclusively breastfed, formula to no avail 19thnews.org/2026/02/minn...

I am an associate professor & public health is considered a social science at my college, so as far as I can tell, I am qualified to submit a nomination for the Nobel Peace Prize. I will nominate the people of Minnesota for their courageous & peaceful exercise of their rights against gov’t violence
cosigned. this is def worth watching. very good, methodical breakdown of what happened from a person with a military/DHS background.
“I live on a rural island in Alaska, reachable only by plane or boat. In our little town, 50 to 100 people stand outside each week at our town's roundabout to protest and hold vigil and stand in solidarity with you. We hold signs supporting Minnesota and demanding ICE Out.”

I feel this so strongly. I don't know how to keep it together in this split screen, crazy world!
Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.
White. Hot. Rage.
These guys do great analytical work...
They are never, ever going to win in Minnesota.
