Head Start is a 60-year-old US Department of Health and Human Services program that, among other things, creates inclusive and accessible classrooms for children with disabilities. But those applying for funding were told by the Trump regime to avoid the words "inclusion" and "disability." 🤡

🙂Healthy mind, healthy…student life📚? If students were aware of the treatment options for mental illnesses, would they be more likely to seek help?

The US gov't shutdown has affected PubMed, a vital piece of our health infrastructure--it's the online library in which doctors and biomedical scientists look up research. The effects of the shutdown on PubMed seem likely to be transient, but it's not good that we're messing with this stuff.

I'm so proud of @nationalacademies.org for having rapidly produced this comprehensive report which definitively demonstrates that CLIMATE CHANGE HARMS HUMAN HEALTH--which is the basis of the "Endangerment Finding" that EPA is now looking to eliminate. @docsforclimate.bsky.social

All the artificial light we're pouring into the night is prompting birds to chirp for nearly an extra hour a day on average, according to a recent study of >4 million bird call recordings. Light pollution disturbs birds who depend on the rhythms of the sun to find food and mates, for migration, etc.

#Wahlrecht für Frauen in den USA: Dass Pete Hegseth dieses Video geteilt hat, ist kein einzelner Ausrutscher. Der Save Act könnte 69 Millionen Frauen in den USA das Recht zu wählen erschweren oder vielleicht sogar verunmöglichen. #Antifeminismus ist das Mindset der US-Regierung.

Today in 1945, a silver aeroplane flew through a clear blue sky. From its fuselage, a man released a single bomb. Falling for 45 seconds, the bomb exploded in a flash of light. In that flash, and its blast, fire and radiation, an unknowable number - many tens of thousands - would die. #Hiroshima80

🔴 THREAD: RFK Jr. just canceled 22 mRNA vaccine projects. TL;DR: mRNA vaccines saved millions of lives. Ending these projects puts us at risk and leaves us unprepared for the next big outbreak. Here’s what RFK Jr. did — and why everyone should care. 🧵 (1/12)

If you've never heard of marine heat waves, now is the time to pay attention. Driven by climate change, these increasingly frequent and extreme ocean temperature events, like “the Blob” in the North Pacific, are devastating marine life, disrupting fisheries, and impacting weather patterns. 🌊

Das hier ist die vielleicht wichtigste und doch wohl wenigst beachtete Nachricht des Tages. Eine weitere planetare Grenze ist überschritten. Wie üblich ist das Paper eher vorsichtig formuliert. Deshalb hier deutlicher: man muss über komplexe Systeme nur eines wissen: Ohne sie ist alles aus. Für uns.

Happy World Ocean Day! The ocean is the heart of our life support system, without which we'd all be dead. It's taken up >90% of the heat from global warming and 25% of our CO₂ emissions. In return, we give it 11 million tonnes of plastic annually, which animals ingest and also become entangled in.

'Make America Healthy Again' At least four of the studies cited in a flagship White House report on children's health do not exist, casting doubt on the paper. It includes broken citation links and credits authors with papers they say they did not write. #MAHA www.yahoo.com/news/america...

#rfkjr.’s Bogus #maha Report Is Just #ai Slop One AI researcher warned the report “cannot even be used for any serious discussion.” #artificialintelligence researchers claim there’s “definitive” proof that *#health* Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. & his team used AI to write his “Make America […]

The #MAHA Report Cites Studies That Don’t Exist. The Trump administration’s “Make America Healthy Again” report misinterprets some studies and cites others that don’t exist, according to the listed authors. #Health www.notus.org/health-scien...

To vaccinate or not to vaccinate💉—that is the question. Despite strong evidence for vaccine effectiveness, skepticism remains. Giese et al. explore why people process #vaccine info selectively and how to reduce this bias to promote more positive vaccination attitudes. #ejhp @helgegiese.bsky.social

The worst happened. We were DOGE’d. Our NSF funding is gone. So now there’s nothing stopping me from sharing Expert Voices Together, a crisis response system for US-based researchers and journalists facing harassment. It's a true passion project. 🧵 1/ expertvoicestogether.org

The general vibe we are getting across #NIH institutes is deeply bleak — that the agency is nearly, if not already dead. Top people are leaving or have left. Nearly everyone's looking for other jobs. People still care about what NIH was, but are growing resigned to its death. 1/

Not exaggerating when I say I would like a personal, handwritten apology from every pundit who barfed out a dozen "the left wants to change the way you talk!" op-eds based on non-mandatory guidelines in obscure PDFs.
