I still think my attempt at #climate #scicomm holds up, many years after I created it, but my "call for action" is weak tea given the inaction of the past 15 years. youtu.be/85TQHzS88L4?...

If you’re not following @cdelawalla.bsky.social ask yourself why?
Super quick question:
Was the segment controversial *or* is it controversial that the US is running a full blown concentration camp scheme, equipped with human trafficking and other human rights violations???????

A controversial news segment that was abruptly pulled from the television show “60 Minutes” appears to have been leaked online this week after the last-minute decision to pull the story exploded into public debate about journalistic independence.

I still wear a good N95 on flights. I’m so much healthier as a result.
Many get sick while traveling.
One major reason is they don’t realize mass transit is high risk because airline CEOs lied about viral spread early in the pandemic and lobbied the CDC to lower precautions.
To make the most of your holiday, take precautions like wearing a mask when you travel!

I'm sure Dr. Biesiekierski could be entirely right that my gluten sensitivity is due to something else. But it's easy to eat a well-balanced gluten-free diet. And it's more difficult to eat a low FODMAP diet. So I'll continue to avoid wheat theconversation.com/your-gluten-...
Your gluten sensitivity might be something else entirely, new study shows
A new study shows gluten itself is rarely the cause of gut problems, whatever people think. But symptoms are real. So what’s really going on?

I do science because I have to do science. It helps that I also care about people, so the science I do can sometimes help people, if I'm lucky, and it's not 2025.
I think for me the most compelling answer for "why fund basic research?" (and the one most relevant to the people doing the work) is that humans are curious and finding stuff out makes us happy and fulfilled. Science is a thing humans like. Life would be more dull and sad if we didn't do it.
