When I retired only around 25% of Full Professors in STEM were women. I was proud be one of them, and to support the success of fellow women in STEM through mentoring. This was not an organic process. It took hard work and persistence. And now The Regime is setting us back decades.

The Boston Sunday Globe did a good article covering Long Covid but for some reason, it's the only article in the entire paper I can't share. So for the first time, I took screenshots and am sharing them here. #bostonglobe #LongCovid #COVID19 #publichealth #WearAMask #getvaccinated

Remember when RFK Jr. unilaterally decided that COVID19 vaccines should no longer be recommended during pregnancy? Well, COVID19 increases the risk of preeclampsia. And it turns out that getting boosted, either before or during pregnancy, significantly reduces the risk of preeclampsia.

After the horrible news cycles today, I needed this laugh 😂

A family from South Carolina brought their measles infections to airports, ferries and various locations in Washington state. The health department says that they didn’t know they had measles. But this is why unvaccinated people are a danger to communities, not just themselves.

Given the current situation, it’s really important to know that a person can get the MMR vaccine for up to three days *after* exposure. This may help reduce the severity of the infection if not ward it off completely, but only for those in whom it’s not contraindicated. (1/2).
