My teen, who had dreamt of being an astrophysicist, just told me he wants to go to law school because, “Science isn’t going to be a priority in the US in the future…I don’t want a job where I’ll be constantly worried my funding will be taken away.”
Gutting. How many future scientists have we lost?

A Michigan man has died of rabies after contracting it through a transplanted kidney.
The Donor Risk Assessment Interview questionnaire reported that the donor has been scratched by a skunk.
He then developed symptoms of rabies & died in hospital.
It seems odd he was permitted to donate organs:

We must stand up against corruption even when it's hard – or not politically advantageous.
From NJ to DC and everywhere in between, Americans deserve a government that works for them, not against them.

I was diagnosed with #HIV in 1998, when I was 30.
Many of my friends had died of AIDS. I did not expect to live to 50.
I’m 58 now.
HIV treatment works.
Treatment also makes it impossible for me to pass HIV on during sex.
Ensure HIV treatment for all.

Patient came in with sore throat. While waiting for rapid Strep test result we glanced back at the Covid-19 RAT result: positive. Reminder that masking in health care makes sense, if you don’t want everyone in your waiting room to go home sick, your staff to get sick, and physicians to get sick.

They need to start laying charges against these agents.
Start with the man who shot Marimar Martinez five times and then bragged about how he put “seven holes” in her.
They need to learn they’re not above the law.
That “just following orders” is not a defence.
