We are experiencing an assault on science unparalleled by anything I’ve seen in my life. It’s not one issue or another anymore, the entire institution is under attack by the most powerful individuals in the country.

The biggest reason why I dislike the idea of respectability in dress is because it conflates the *appearance* of virtue with *actual* virtue. Wearing a suit doesn't make you respectful, intelligent, or capable, just as wearing a leather jacket doesn't make you rugged.

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

Just when you think Donald Trump cannot sink lower or be more shameful, today he's blaming Ukraine for the war and calling Zelinsky a dictator, when he knows perfectly well that Putin's constant re-elections are put-up jobs.

Microplastics (mp) have been linked to stroke but mechanisms unknown. In mice, mp were phagocytosed & detected in altered phagocytes in the blood that could cause blockages in small blood vessels and thrombi linked with transient alterations in brain.🧪
Microplastics in the bloodstream can induce cerebral thrombosis by causing cell obstruction and lead to neurobehavioral abnormalities
Microplastics get in the blood and are eaten by immune cells, leading to cell obstruction and cerebral thrombosis.

Pollution under the radar.

Tyres produce a whooping 28% of microplastic pollution globally. Both combustion engine and electric vehicles are to blame.

More walking, biking, and better public transport: these are the safest long-term choices for public health.
