We created this guide for anyone who could experience a miscarriage in a state with abortion restrictions.

We wrote it in consultation with dozens of doctors, including those who regularly treat patients who are miscarrying 👇
If You’re Pregnant, Here’s What You Should Know About the Medical Procedures That Could Save Your Life

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

Was the UK’s strategy the optimal one?
During the COVID-19 pandemic, public health authorities had to make swift decisions and chose whether to delay booster doses. Read more about the optimal timing of doses when resources are scarce here:

When to boost: How dose timing determines the epidemic threshold
Most vaccines require multiple doses, the first to induce recognition and antibody production and subsequent doses to boost the primary response and achieve optimal protection. We show that properly p...

Quante storie da scrivere prima di diventare Scienza | il manifesto
(Editoriale) C’è la Scienza. E poi c’è la scienza, con la minuscola. La prima ci affascina perché rappresenta il limite ultimo della nostra conoscenza e, a volte, come ogni frontiera, mette paura. La ...

I have just learned with immense sadness of the passing of my thesis supervisor, Francesco Guerra.He was a brilliant physicist and an extraordinary mentor. I had the privilege of working with him during my thesis on spin glasses during a period that marked me deeply, both scientifically and humanly.
