into tumors while sparing healthy skin. No surgery. Reusable. Breathable. Still early-stage, but this is wild. 🧬 pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/... #BlueSky #MedSky #IMSky #OncSky #DermSky #IDSky #SciSky #EMSky #NurseSky #melanoma #cancer

Scientists just created a skin patch that destroys melanoma tumors. Melanoma causes 80%+ of skin cancer deaths — but in mice, this stretchable graphene patch shrank tumors by 97% in just 10 days. Activated by mild heat (~108°F), it releases cancer-killing copper ions directly 1/2

Tabei was buried under the snow and lost consciousness before being rescued by her Sherpa guides.

via @hissgoescobra.bsky.social Listen to the judge at Tina Peters's trial give a searing condemnation of her crimes and behavior in Court. Compare this to what Polis is trying to spin today, in order to justify the bended knee to Trump and his shortcutting of the judicial process:

Mike Johnson, Speaker of the House: “Well, look. The salary of Congress has been frozen since 2009.“ SO HAS THE FEDERAL MINIMUM WAGE. If Congress can’t “take care of their families” at $174,000 a year, HOW THE FUCK DO YOU THINK POOR PEOPLE CAN, YOU SOULLESS MONSTER?

Dr. Nancy Roman created NASA's space #astronomy program. NASA's first Chief of Astronomy, she established the program from scratch, bringing together scientists/engineers to realize the potential of orbiting telescopes & influencing decades of #astrophysics. She was born #OTD in 1925. #WomenInSTEM

#OTD in 2019, Saray Khumalo became the first Black African woman to summit Mt. Everest. A Nelson Mandela Libraries ambassador, she uses her expeditions to raise funds for "Summits with a Purpose" & build physical and digital libraries for underprivileged schools in S. Africa. #Skybrarian #TLSky

Republicans support sending guns in the mail but what about mail-in ballots? @brendanhartnett.bsky.social went to Capitol Hill to ask some of them.

Diane Nash: one of the most brilliant, fearless & under-recognized strategists of the #CivilRights Movement. A leader of the student wing in the 1960s, her tactical brilliance & commitment to nonviolent direct action directly altered the course of American history. She was born #OTD in 1938.

#OTD in 1970, Anna Mae Hays became a brigadier general--the first woman in history of the US Armed Forces promoted to a general officer rank. Her recommendations revolutionized conditions for military women including ending the automatic discharge of married female officers who became pregnant.

Hawaii just officially passed S.B. 2471, legislation that would remove dark and corporate money from the state’s federal and state politics. We need more of this.

Q: What was it that made you break with Trump? Trump voter: Just seeing the lies. He put us in a war. He's putting up gold statues of himself. When are people going to wake up? All those stupid rallies I went to... I got rid of my Make America Great Again hat. I can't even believe I wore that hat.

Fashion tip of the day: To deal with clothes moths, fill your wardrobe with thousands of tiny spiders, the moth's natural predator. To deal with the spiders, fill your wardrobe with scorpions. To deal with the scorpions, fill your closet with RFK Jr. This way, you avoid harmful chemicals.

I really wish everything could be just a little less stupid.

C-SPAN callers are on fire this morning. Apparently, we need to quit whining about the price of gas. Get better paying jobs. Stop spending money on stuff we enjoy. Work with our hands. Get a union job. Get a job with a pension. Save for retirement. Easy-peasy, lemon-squeezy.

Here we are, more than 4 years after Putin launched his 3-day war to conquer Ukraine, and the Russian dictator can only risk standing outside in Red Square after being given permission by Volodymyr Zelensky.

Donald Trump won’t always be the president. But he will always be in the Epstein files.

Fellow doctor Dr. Louisa Garrett Anderson another person central to this story. There is so much to tell, a thread cannot do it justice. If interested, there's a 14-minute mini-documentary "Deeds not Words: The Suffragette Surgeons of WWI" on YouTube. 👇 www.youtube.com/watch?v=L8qG...

...they were invited to run the 573-bed Endell St Military Hospital in London. They staffed it entirely w/women—from surgeons to orderlies. Over the course of the war, they treated nearly 50,000 soldiers. Scottish physician Dr. Flora Murray was born #OTD in 1869. #WomenInSTEM #WWI #histsky

Dr. Flora Murray knew she would be told to "go home & knit” by the UK War Office if she offered to treat wounded soldiers in #WWI. So, she & other female medics went to the French & set up a hospital in a Parisian hotel. When they offered to go back to England in 1915... (1/2)👇#WomenInSTEM #histsky

Democrats are going to take the House. The margin may be smaller. It's a kick in the teeth but you have to go out and win elections, not ride waves.

A first thought is that this hollowed-out, fading old crank needs to be in assisted living. A second thought is that having surrounded himself with an adiministration servile, ass-licking sycophants. the White House is, in fact, an assisted living facility.

#OTD in 2020, Rockford Peaches pitcher Mary Pratt died at age 101. One of the first members of the Peaches, the team at the heart of the movie "A League of Their Own." A southpaw, she used her famous "controlled slingshot" to pitch a no-hitter in June 1944. I ❤️ #baseball ⚾️

Republicans are going to make taxpayers pay for Trump’s ballroom. All Trump’s claims over 16 months that “donors” were going to pay for it was always a lie and just another con. You will pay for it.

This is art.

let’s look at the back

This is Coraje. He is the angriest little guy in the world. By volume at least. He's actually a pretty normal amount of angry, just packed into a very tiny puppy. 12/10 (TT: mizraimbejarano)
