Asteroid 2024 YR4 was discovered on Christmas day, and placed at Level 3 on the Torino impact scale.
Currently, it is the only object with a Torino level greater than zero (0), with a 1-in-83 chance of hitting Earth in 2032.

Does anyone out there have access to the journal: Alcohol and Alcoholism? Specifically, vol.30 issue 4 (1995), there’s an article I’m after and don’t have institutional access. Thanks in advance ❤️

How did I get my ERC Consolidator Grant? Hard work, luck, and *A LOT* of prep.
Encouraged by my colleagues, who I drafted to help me prep and who watched me work on the application and interview all those months, I've written a paper about my preparations: pure.au.dk/ws/portalfil...

Looking for recommendations for memoirs that deal with health and gender (and/or sexuality, disability) that have come out in last couple of years. Updating my masters class syllabus (session/assessment on health narratives) so please let me know if you’ve read a good one recently! #histmed #medhums

The most recent Trump appointment makes this a good time to pick up a book on the history of vaccination, which is available online for free, as its author @millieqed.bsky.social used to point out frequently on the other site.

Giving bluesky a go at the rec of @drstevemallory.bsky.social. I am an MPhil history and anthropology student at Cambridge, focusing on disabled experiences.
I also don't take myself very seriously, so if you want ridiculous posts about the silly little life that is a Cambridge Masters, follow me!
