In the 1600s, scientists created displays of real human nerves and veins on large, wooden tables. Museum curator Bruce Simpson applauds Guillermo del Toro’s "Frankenstein" for taking note: buff.ly/TgtxOt1

What fictional creature/ character traumatized you as a child?

For me, it was E.T. The noises and mannerisms were so uncanny, it made me very uncomfortable…

This Veterans Day, we honor those who put on the uniform to keep our country safe.

But our heroes deserve more than applause once a year—they deserve to be honored every day, not with layoffs or cuts jeopardizing their care.

We owe it to them to do right by those who served.

Get your flu shot! 💉

💪It may not prevent you from getting the flu but it will lessen the severity of the disease.

Several pharmacies and grocery stores will give you coupons and discounts for shopping - how this poster bought some of my Halloween candy stash last month! 🍭
Flu is coming soon. That epi curve looks a bit ominous. #IDSky

Good explainer article & public health message 👇
