Incredible. Scientists have created artificial blood that works for any blood type – and lasts years. A future with fewer shortages, faster responses, and more lives saved may be within reach. Medical science at its most awe-inspiring.

Real science folks. A must read.
Hugely proud of @scientistsx.bsky.social on the launch of their new book #ScientistsOnSurvival Personal Stories of Climate Action.
This is a deeply moving and inspiring book that everyone needs to read -every chapter left me in tears or with goosebumps. Read more: www.scientistsforxr.earth/our-book

Unbelievable, terrifying.....
Let this sink in—the head of the EPA has now labeled climate science as “religion”, and reframed the purpose of the EPA to “lower the cost of buying a car… and running a business”—the ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY!
That’s where we are now.

Trump cut travel funding for our scientists to work on the next global climate change report (IPCC).
I don't think it's legal for him to tell scientists they can't work with the IPCC.
Either way, do not comply.

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.
