That they have lived with this trauma & pain for so long is truly heartbreaking. How anyone can support protecting the perpetrators any longer is hard to believe & a complete disgrace!

A recent study found that for every $1 invested in the National Weather Service, it produces $73 in value to Americans.
Not only is the NWS a life-saving government resource, it's actually quite efficient.

🧵1/ BIG NEWS!! CDC just dropped a landmark report — the first US data on RSV hospitalizations after rollout of the maternal vaccine and infant antibody. What happened? Hospitalizations in babies under 3 months fell nearly 50% vs pre-pandemic years. Quietly, radically effective.

Very early #OnThisDay, 6 May 1944, Marguerite 'Peggy' Knight parachutes into occupied France to be a courier for the Special Operations Executive.
Knight fought her way out of an attempted capture, and returned to the UK in Sept 1944.

Tinkering around for fun, a computer science undergrad realized that he had invented a new kind of hash table, one that worked faster than expected—taking less time and fewer steps to find specific elements.
Undergraduate Disproves 40-Year-Old Conjecture, Invents New Kind of Hash Table
A young computer scientist and two colleagues show that searches within data structures called hash tables can be much faster than previously deemed possible.

We are entering a dangerous phase of the H5N1 outbreak.
With spring migration underway, the virus will spread faster, threatening wildlife, livestock, and humans.
Migratory birds will carry the D1.1 (D701N) variant worldwide, raising the risk of mammal outbreaks.
