The ants can quarantine, the ants can do social distancing.
A super interesting study on how ants alter their nest networks to prevent epidemics! Network topology metrics were used to measure the effect on disease transmission.

New research finds that anti-vaccine networks on Facebook were smaller but more tightly coordinated, spreading emotionally charged misinformation faster, while pro-vaccine networks were larger and more institutional, sharing accurate info but with less engagement.

I didn't think that was how whistleblower complaints were supposed to work.

This 👇🏻 is a real pity. Getting hospitalized with pneumonia sucks and can contribute to so many kinds of health problems downstream. Preventing pneumococcal disease saves lives!
6 in 10 US adults eligible for #pneumococcal vaccine don't receive it, survey suggests
Participants with health insurance and more years of education were more likely to be vaccinated after receiving a clinician recommendation.

I've been going the other way on this: call pasteurized milk "French processed milk" to sound fancy and artisanal.
this reminds me that i think people would be less interested in “raw milk” if we called it “poop milk” or “shit milk”
My big problem with the phrase “granola fascism” is that granola is delicious as hell, granola does not deserve to be catching strays like this. “Raw milk fascism” is more appropriate. Thank you.
