Coastal and ocean cleanups are more critical than ever - but are also the last resort. Reducing fossil fuels, plastics, sewage, fertilizer, and pesticides, all while advocating for policies that protect marine habitats contribute to the health of our oceans. #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean #CoastalCleanup

Plastic pollution poses a significant threat to sea turtles, as they can become entangled in plastic debris and ingest both plastics and microplastics. Juvenile sea turtles are especially susceptible to the ingestion of microplastics. #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean #TurtleTuesday #OceanPlastic

The potential to deliver ‘one shot cures’ is possible in the future with gene therapy, but it’s not as profitable for big pharma as chronic therapies. “While this carries tremendous value for patients and society it could represent a challenge for sustained cash flow.”

Your 'bonus moment of doom' for today:

"...the Australian Institute of Marine Science said one area around Cooktown and Lizard Island had lost more than a third of its live hard coral – the biggest annual drop in 39 years of monitoring."

Good morning, Bluesky. Today’s #GoodMorningNews: a trial at Washington University’s school of medicine has shown great results for a vaccine that would prevent recurrence for a particularly aggressive form of breast cancer. It’s a small trial, but 3 years later 16/18 participants remain cancer free
