Did you know? The term "scientist" was coined in the 1830s to describe Mary Sommerville—a woman. The usual term "man of science" didn't apply, and she wasn't just a physicist, geologist, or chemist—she was all three.

Good job @cvspharmacy and @Walgreens. Our @ANSIRH research found, not surprisingly, that pharmacists at brick-and-mortar pharmacies could dispense mifepristone for medication abortion safely and effectively: journals.lww.com/greenjournal/f…

On a scale of 1 to 10, how stressed do you feel right now? #JameelClinic PI @RosalindPicard spoke w/ @FuchsWriter @upworthyscience about what makes stress so hard to measure and how to advance the science of understanding stress. Full episode: upworthyscience.com/natural-killer…
Here's an important thread that addresses what DEI is (and isn't)! Definitely give this a read instead of the racist ramblings of @elonmusk and @benshapiro 🤡
Amazing news! Novavax seems to offer longer protection against COVID-19 than the mRNA vaccines.
Hmmm. Why is cholera trending? Not sure if I want to find out.

Breathtaking picture of a Danaus plexippus caterpillar, or as the Alabama Supreme Court would call it, a monarch butterfly.

I tried to read this article but I can no longer see due to my BLINDING RAGE. AIDS is real. It’s caused by the virus HIV. AZT and other retrovirals save lives. Misinformation can kill. Pass it on. vice.com/en/article/jg5…
Measles isn’t harmless. Here’s one real-life account of how it changed author Roald Dahl’s life forever (and what he did to try and protect others). Pass it on. upworthyscience.com/roald-dahl-los…
Just called CDC & urged them to keep the 5 day isolation guidance and 10 day masking for people with COVID! CDC Contact Info: English & Spanish (language assistance services may be available) 800-CDC-INFO (800-232-4636) TTY 888-232-6348 Send a message: wwwn.cdc.gov/dcs/ContactUs/…
Super interesting take on disease and community care. Must read!!!
Super interesting take on disease and community care. Must read!!!
The CDC is dropping its five-day isolation guidelines for people who have been infected with COVID. COVID is killing 2k people each week. Millions have Long COVID. And almost half of US adults struggle to afford health care. Utterly irresponsible. reuters.com/world/us/us-cd…

He gave me advice on our hookworm anemia vaccine + shared his ideas for HIV/AIDS vaccine development. We then discussed his wife’s paintings in his office. Amazing
69 years ago #Today, Jonas Salk's polio vaccine was declared safe and successful, Salk was hailed as a "miracle worker" and the day almost became a U.S. national holiday.
Today is World Autism Awareness Day. I wrote Vaccines Did Not Cause Rachel’s Autism about my youngest daughter to counter modern antivaccine activism that accelerated in the 2000s on this false assertion. Tragically the antivaccine lobby still monetizes the internet on this basis
Tylenol overdoses account for more than 50,000 ER visits and 400+ deaths a year. Over 19 years or so and 4.9 million doses there are 13 deaths possibly related to mifepristone (direct correlation not possible). The death rate from spontaneous abortion is 0.7/100,000.
Mifepristone is safer than acetaminophen. What are you going on about?
6.) Women continued to be harmed, but they remained silent and alone, feeling abandoned for justice for their medical complications and trauma. Doctors started seeing more patients with complications. Yet, the FDA did not ask for or track data.
When the topic you have been studying for over a decade is at the Supreme Court, listening to misinformed Q & A from a bunch of lawyers and judges is absolutely excruciating!
Yes, I’ve had Covid once despite masking outside of my household since the beginning of this (June 2022, partner got it first and gave it to me). This isn’t proof that masks “don’t work”. This is proof that the risk is so high that even with strict precautions, it’s not 100%

Imagine if instead of making COVID isolation guidelines as weak as the flu... We approved combo rapid tests and made them free and available for everyone... So that people could tell how long they need to isolate based on science and not feelings, whatever the pathogen.
I just learned a new word 🤗 Just as Taylor Swift fans are swifties, the anti-vaccine community calls people like me—those who are up to date on their COVID vaccines—“boosties”! 💉I’m a proud boostie 💉✡️ Maybe, as a Jew, I’m a proud Jewstie boostie?!
I donated blood this morning @RedCross before work I’m fully vaxxed against Covid, including with the XBB.1.5. booster The anti-vaxx conspiracy community is peddling a lie—they’re falsely saying that vaxxed people cannot give blood. Utter BS. 💪💪Please donate to save lives!

This is what we call survivorship bias. Just because everyone you knew recovered from measles without incident. Also, contrary to what antivaxxers "remember," measles can kill. It can cause neurological damage.
@IanCopeland5 Growing up we all had measles, mumps and chickenpox. None of my friends were in the hospitals or dead. I was flower girl at my aunt's wedding when I had the mumps. Be careful in letting your emotions be controlled by Mockingbird media companies. Those no big deal illness for a…
Around 90% of unvaxxed kids who have close contact with an infected person will get measles; around 1 in 5 unvaxxed kids who get measles will be hospitalized Measles killed 136,000 kids in 2022, the latest year for which we have data ALL kids deserve the benefits of vaccination
There is no such thing as "unvaccinated" blood. It does NOT exist, it is total nonsense. But if you refuse a doctor´s advice of a transfusion for yourself or a loved one, you bring your or their life in danger! Listen to professionals, not this nonsense.
