Trump has wiped out injury and violence prevention at the CDC.

Surveillance systems and programs to protect kids from things like firearm injuries and drowning...just gone.

Tariffs and the price of eggs don't mean a damn thing if we can't even keep our kids safe.

With CDC injury prevention team gutted, 'we will not know what is killing us'
Workers who track data on car crashes, drownings, traumatic brain injury, falls in the elderly, and other perils lost their jobs. Advocates worry life-saving work will stop.

1) Incarcerating youth in adult facilities appears to increase violent victimization during adulthood (doi.org/10.1002/jad....).
Juvenile Incarceration in an Adult Facility and Violent Victimization During Adulthood
Introduction A growing body of research indicates that being incarcerated in an adult jail or prison as a juvenile can elevate one's exposure to adverse childhood experiences, including violent and ...

People always inform me about how much they love the Rejection Tracker on my website (www.ianasilver.com). My updated rejection rate is 1.58 rejections per-published article!

This stat is misleading though, because I do have approximately 8 "dead" papers that have 1 to almost 7 rejections.
