"Cambodia was hit by a tariff of 49%. Madagascar - 47%.
Lesotho - in southern Africa - has a 50% tariff - the highest of any country. This could devastate the economy of a small, impoverished nation that relies on exports of clothes."

We've been talking an awful lot about how the Trump tariffs will hit the big players: the UK, China, Canada, France, Germany etc
But it's time to talk about the ones who DON'T have loud voices. Because some of the poorest countries in the world are going to be crippled by what happened last night

Today is Retraction Day, when we observe the anniversary of the retraction (Feb. 2, 2010) of the fraudulent paper that purported to show a link between vaccines and autism. 🧪#medsky
![This is the front page of a fraudulent research article that purported to show a link between vaccines and autism. The word "RETRACTED" is written across it in large red letters.
Wikipedia: On 28th February 1998, a fraudulent research paper by physician Andrew Wakefield and twelve coauthors, titled "Ileal-Lymphoid-Nodular Hyperplasia, Non-Specific Colitis, and Pervasive Developmental Disorder in Children", was published in the British medical journal The Lancet.[1] The paper falsely claimed causative links between the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine and colitis and between colitis and autism. The fraud involved data selection, data manipulation, and two undisclosed conflicts of interest.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:sox6xar4qdc3ujhi5h4whtlh/bafkreiazjyxk6foryp6lzxcqbls62uaokwhjrjmnzg5uqpdimg77xrt26a@jpeg)

Ditto!
As a fellow member, our group fills me with joy 🥹
Such a great experience leading a group of amazing scientists with the intention of true collaboration. No BS, no power struggles, just people who want to share their love for learning and exploration. I have caught myself smiling to myself, thinking about all of the impactful work we're doing.
