Quite shocking, but also not unexpected: www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

We (with many authors), published an eletter to the journal #Science outlining how the linear-no threshold #LNT model for #radiation protection is based on #epidemiology, radiobiological evidence, and societal considerations; not on hereditary #genetic analyses. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Malhotra is a dangerous fool (and a Dr. That is possible).

Today, 71 years ago, with a similar disregard for (its own citizens') human life as its current regime, the Soviet Union conducted the deadliest military exercise in history ( #Totskoye): theaviationgeekclub.com/the-story-of...

People like Malhotra are dangerous www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

...and here we go again: www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

Not much, kind of as expected based on lots of literature around #cellphones (including #RF exposure itself). With the exception of better attention and less annoying and distracted kids during school hours......which seems a good enough reason to consider a ban here 🤷‍♂️

Useful review from #WHO #IARC: pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC... Amongst other things, #pesticides something to think about, #EMF doesn't seem much of an issue.

Useful overview, discussion, and reflectikns on the #WHO reviews on #RF #EMF and relevant outcomes. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... Several EMF activist organisations also producing reviews should have a look at this in terms of thoroughness and robustness, and consider their approaches.

Old man grumping how everything used to be better in the old days. On Universities this time.... www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

One of the good things, when it comes to #EMF research, of the #Frontiers publication method, is that it is clear to see that this kind of stuff, riddled with erros and bias, can be published by selecting the right reviewers. This is an editorial error.

Let's see what this is all about....

Not all heroes wear capes 🤟🏻

Interesting piece Commentary on when health professionals should engage in public advocacy: www.thelancet.com/journals/lan... This discussed practitioners specifically, bit for academic researchers this is even more difficult, as engaging in advocacy leads to the loss of objectivity. Or does it?

The most vulnerable people in society were less able to access GP care during the COVID-19 pandemic compared to the general population, according to new research in @bjgpopen.bsky.social. The study also found those effects continued long after lockdowns ended arc-w.nihr.ac.uk/how-covid-19...

🧪 New UK study: No increased risk of childhood cancer near nuclear sites 📍 Analysed data from 28 sites incl Sellafield & Dounreay (1995–2016) 👶 Nearly 50,000 cases reviewed 📉 No rise in cancer incidence found 🔗 arc-w.nihr.ac.uk/no-increased... #PublicHealth #Nuclear

Quite a lot of good stuff around conflicts of interest in #research and #publichealth. However, limiting #CoI to industry/commercial collaborations and involvement only is at best naive (but likely not), at worst a deliberate oversight. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

A paper that adds nothing to the literature, but uses advanced machine learning to do nothing. Impressive. jbpe.sums.ac.ir/article_4980...

Strong start.....

#Naturalexperiments are showing why the US policy of defunding national and local government can be a bad idea if done carelessly, and can have serious consequences. Here, on defunding the effect on the weather service in Texas in relation to recent events (in Dutch): www.ad.nl/buitenland/w...

Quite shocking that the below linked article on #EMF/#RF ( #mobilephones) got through peer-review when it's first 2 sentences (screengrab below), which are both opinions from a specific group of activists, are presented as facts. Fearmongering is clearly a beneficial passtime...

The #BBC with an awful, completely uncritical, attempt at "presenting both sides": www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Pretty sure that if a UK university had researchers that were also "influencers", they'd have to annually report when they influenced, whom, how, and by how much. Probably in ResearchFish.

This 👇🏼 is ridiculous. A great campaign by @biteback2030.bsky.social gets rejected.

New, entirely predictable results on brain #cancer risks from mobile phones in humans (US data). In agreement will conclusions from most scientists and all national and international expert committees. ....but obviously not with activists. www.mdpi.com/1660-4601/22...

Hands down, RFK, Jr. is the most dangerous person in this regime. Do not avert your eyes. People will die. We are in for a world of misery. www.editorialboard.com/the-next-ele... @editorialboard.bsky.social

It is not entirely coincidental that we released the Anti-Autocracy Handbook on this date: sks.to/autocracy. It is with sadness because it shouldn't be necessary and because it shows how impoverished America has become. But it also signals that the fight will go on. #Juneteenth

Environmental exposure to #5G radiofrequency electromagnetic fields remains below international safety limits, according to a major study across 10 European countries. The study also found exposure varies by urbanicity, network quality and how the phone is used. arc-w.nihr.ac.uk/5g-radiation...

This analysis, led by the Swiss Tropical and Public Health Institute with input from @frankdv.bsky.social, is part of the Horizon Europe funded Project GOLIAT. Read the full paper here: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

#RFK is a massive danger to #publichealth nationally AND internationally; as is his #childrenshealthdefense. He is going to kill people.... www.ad.nl/buitenland/a...

This is an interesting hypothesis for discussion about how electromagnetic #radiation (#EMF) may impact on health, if indeed it does so. www.frontiersin.org/journals/pub... 1/3

This 👇🏼 is very good by @gidmk.bsky.social; pointing out the rubbish on #glyphosate and tampons by the activist Pesticide Action Network. In short: just because you can measure something at increasingly low quantities doesn't mean it is dangerous.
