Keeping a roof over our heads is getting expensive.
This affects everything: the cost of living expensive, savings & creates stress about making ends meet.
The next generation depends on us to fight the housing crisis.
🇪🇺 The EU must step up and tackle this.

Canada was officially declared “measles-free” 27 years ago, but no more. The rising number of measles outbreaks is a symptom of a deeper issue: declining trust in public messaging about science and health, which has led to decreased vaccination rates. buff.ly/V7RPaXR
Canada loses its official ‘measles-free’ status – and the US will follow soon, as vaccination rates fall
Decreased vaccination rates have led to measles outbreaks in Canada and other countries.

University of Pittsburgh researchers developed a skin patch that detects antibodies for COVID and flu. It’s far more sensitive than current tests, requires only 0.5 volts of power, and delivers results in 10 minutes fast
