Germany is stepping up to create an alternative to PubMed that could be used globally. PubMed is a database that includes all of the critical scientific journal articles that researchers use.
They are doing this because of serious concerns that PubMed will be pulled offline by The Regime.

Melbourne nurse Sarah is trying to save for a home near work – neither party’s housing plan will get her any closer
Melbourne nurse Sarah is trying to save for a home near work – neither party’s housing plan will get her any closer
The major parties are competing for first home buyers’ votes with a range of promises. But who will they actually help?

* Listen to the latest episode of our new narrative podcast series: Gina
* Get our afternoon election email, free app or daily news podcast
When Sarah* opens her banking app, she sees an account labelled Home Saver. After years of trying to save, there’s still $0 in it. The 30-year-old works as a nurse at a major hospital in Melbourne. She normally makes between $2,100 and $2,300 a fortnight. Her last pay, because she got sick, was $1,900.
