Help out an undergraduate student researcher with their survey project on patients' and providers' perspectives on treatments for PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome). Further description and contact info in opening page at the survey URL or QR code. Thank you!
Looking for another 25-35 responses from PCOS patients to give this student at least 50 to analyze in their honors research. We've had no luck with physician/provider responses, it may be too tough out there in 2025, but the patient responses are interesting. #MedSky

who knew the first library they would “burn” would be NASA’s
They’re hoping the general public won’t care about rare scientific materials that aren’t about the life sciences
But this is our common human heritage they are destroying

We need to get it lodged more firmly in the discourse that Trump and Stephen Miller are prioritizing removing nonviolent immigrants over public safety. They are sinking so many resources into their ethnic purification project that they're putting us in more danger.

"People are being trained to use vehicles as weapons" is some insane gaslighting in response to one peaceful young woman accidentally pulling her vehicle out in the general direction of an officer walking in the middle of the roadway, slowly and in a manner that the officer was easily able to avoid.

Historically, we've focused a lot on the brutal actions of authoritarian regimes, and today is no different.
Using imagery online of the shooting by an ICE agent in Minneapolis, we’ve created an animated sequence which highlights the approximate positioning of officers and vehicles at the scene. The red dot represents the agent who fired the shots. Yellow dots are other agents who arrived at the scene.

Years ago, an organizing crew I was part of worked to help an unhoused woman in our neighborhood get services. She was dying and qualified for a number of programs. It took a team of seven working for almost two months to secure her a warm bed to die in. Her name was Jennifer.

Right. The point is not “it matters extra because it’s a citizen,” the point is “we either hang together or we will all hang separately.”
i think it is ok to reiterate that the victim as a us citizen. yes, noncitizens are equally entitled to human rights. but also, it's important to illustrate how ice isn't about immigration at all
