Why is there no health warning on a wood stove?
Wood smoke contains most of the same carcinogens as tobacco smoke, including benzene and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.
Tobacco products have had health warning messages for years - it's time for stoves to have the same. #AirPollution #Health

I’ve said it before - and to key people...
Europe should prep and actively encourage a “brain gain” - because there might well be a brain drain from the US… and also a brain flow diversion from the US’s perennial, habitual brain gain.
In other words: where does global science talent flow to now?

NIH funding supports the vast majority of all biomedical research in the United States. Virtually every advance in American medicine and biological science comes from NIH. This is a blow against American science.
Call Congress, 202-224-3121.

All NIH study sections canceled indefinitely. This will halt science and devastate research budgets in universities.

We should be throwing up lab space in places like Cambridge and Tatton Park at a vast rate.
Biggest opportunity to recruit scientific talent since the 1930s.

NIH appears to have canceled/postponed all of its study sections—the independent review panels that approve federal grants for health research.
Such grants fund the work/salaries of 300k people at more than 2,500 institutions

Just your regular respiratory virus season reminder that homeopathy is complete bunk & you should save your money because it’s useless.
It’s basically “thoughts and prayers” in a box.
Let me explain…
