Free speech and free expression are not a left or right thing ... they're an American thing the world has long envied. We cannot jeopardize what was long fought for and still must be.

One more reason we need to keep funding medical research, even if we can't be sure where each and every bit if research will eventually wind up. Science is not the enemy. It holds the key to finding cures for people we love!
Five years ago, a very close relative died of a glioblastoma brain tumor at the age of 13. Today would have been his 19th birthday. And now comes news that an mRNA vaccine is being trialed to treat this very (incurable) malady. Fingers crossed.

AI gives us easy answers, though not always totally right ones. But no easy answers for the soaring energy needs they require.
Data centers that run the Internet & AI computations, will face increasing political pressure as prices & emissions rise. The way forward for them is to invest in communities with enough clean power to share, keep costs down, & get to zero water consumption. My Policy Brief: fas.org/publication/...

Interesting segment from Science Friday on childhood trauma. Unfortunately, existing research has a number of flaws but there is some potential good news about mitigating factors.
We know that experiences from our childhood, both good and bad, shape who we become as adults. But, understanding what kinds of early experiences have staying power into adulthood and the wide range of impacts they can have is an emerging science.
The Evolving Science Of How Childhood Trauma Shapes Adults
The framework of Adverse Childhood Experiences started with an unexpected finding over 30 years ago. How is our approach changing?

Thanks for finding this, Dorlee! Setting boundaries ... so difficult for some and yet so essential.
So important! > “Setting limits for yourself is one way to re-parent yourself. Boundaries give you the limits, security, and structure that you didn’t get as a child.” #selfcare #boundaries #wellbeing
An integral part of being a healthy adult is establishing limits for ourselves – making choices that are in our own best interest even when they aren’t enjoyable in the moment.
