The babies who will become infected as a result of this vote — and some will die prematurely of liver disease — will overwhelmingly be those born to marginalized, underserved families. This is a profound failure of evidence-based public health and a big step backwards. 2/2

A majority of Americans believe that forcing Ukraine to cede territory to Russia, or limiting the size of Ukraine's army would be handing Moscow a victory in its full-scale invasion, according to a new poll.

Vaccines are the greatest public health success story in history. So much death and suffering can be stopped entirely, or dramatically reduced. And people are just throwing it away.

A picture is worth a 1000 words. The birth dose of hepatitis B vaccines in the USA eliminated perinatally acquired hepatitis B infection from over 20,000 cases a year before the vaccine was introduced to <20 cases a year. The gaslighting by the current members ACIP is obscene, unethical and cruel.

New reporting - people are finally noticing what last summer's BBB did: Starting next July, "med students won't be able to borrow more than $50,000 a year — or more than $200,000 over the four years. Many private med schools already cost north of $300,000, including... www.npr.org/sections/sho...

Happy T-day bakers! What would today be without some bread rolls?

Anti-vax M.D. appointed at CDC. More death and suffering to come that could have been avoided. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/25/h...

Today on Volts: I've had more requests to cover this than almost any other topic in the pod's history, so now, at long last, balcony solar! We dig into how "plug-in solar" took off in Europe & how it's making its way to the US, starting in Utah. Backyard DIY types rejoice!

Marzipan fun fact: it supposedly started in 1400s Lübeck when the city was starving and the only food left was… almonds and sugar. So the bakers basically said, “Great, we can’t make bread, but we can make dessert while everyone panics.” And boom — marzipan. The world’s sweetest emergency ration. 👋

Had some success in the forest yesterday. Now the hard part of cleanings done and it is on to cooking and eating. Yum. 🍄

Former Finnish PM Sanna Marin put it bluntly: “To end the conflict, Russia must leave Ukrainian territory.” Just one point. Nothing more to discuss.

Vaccines based on mRNA can be tailored to target a cancer patient’s unique tumor mutations. But crumbling support for cancer and mRNA vaccine research has endangered this promising therapy

“Trump slashed spending on clinical trials. The toll is starting to become clear. Grants for 383 clinical trials were terminated and the funding disruptions affected more than 74,000 trial participants, according to new research.” - The Washington Post

Sourdough bread for dinner.

We obtained audio recordings and logs from each hearing of a sexual assault case that has spanned 10 years. Nearly every time the defense attorney asked to delay the trial, a judge agreed. (Published January with @adn.com)

More academic extortion.

I wanted to offer some thoughts on the Gates climate memo that has been circulating this week. While I can't directly speak for others, I can say that my own response is one of dismay & deep frustration (and that this view is shared by many climate/Earth scientists). [1/n]

The US Administration is not engaged in a 'crackdown', which means strict punishment of people who break laws. It is engaged in a vast and universal program of immigrant exclusion, regardless of legal status, skill, and economic contribution.

Five or six grams of life, soft-furred and sharp-nosed, darting among the roots and leaf litter of a tiny island in the Indian Ocean. Australia’s only shrew, Crocidura trichura, has been declared extinct. Touching obituary by @rhettayersbutler.bsky.social 🧪🌏🦊 www.butlernature.com/2025/10/24/r...

Someone asked me the other day*: How do we replace all the science that’s being lost across the US as NIH, NSF etc are being lawlessly destroyed? The answer is: we cannot. It is impossible. The task now is to defend #NIH and public funding for medical research. 1/ 🧪 #neuroscience

The editors of the CDC’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) were apparently fired today. The precursor to MMWR began in 1878 to address emerging public health threats rapidly. We are not “great” without it. We are vulnerable to threats from sporadic foodborne illness to bioterrorism.
