Thank goodness our current HHS Secretary is focused on seed oils, wearable fitness trackers, and undermining vaccines.
What a depressing paper. Virtually every indicator of health in US kids is poor, and getting worse.

1. 📚 Acquiring the ability to read alters how children engage with the world - and the people that they grow up to be. This story, from a partner school in Kent, illustrates the incredible change that takes place – and how such children can easily be missed. Case study 🧵

The marketing for Severance was so surprising because they usually don't bother.

Oh I should add! If you’re a public, school or prison librarian, you get a thank you in the acknowledgements, but you also get a free copy if you’d like one. The very least I can do for the profession that made me a writer. DM for a chat.
