“Astonishingly high” pulsed magnetic fields measured in electric cars by 🇦🇹 lab for 🇩🇪 govt. Levels exceed current European exposure limits which don’t even consider long-term exposures.

There are many good reasons not to follow the RFK Jr playbook on RF radiation, but citing a conflict with the WHO EMF project is not among them. arstechnica.com/health/2025/...

Surprising finding! Up to now, the most-cited reasons for the well-documented jump in early-onset colorectal cancer have been lack of exercise and bad diet. This cohort clearly tells a different story. (Unpublished studies are rarely featured on front page of NYT.) www.nytimes.com/2025/08/19/h...

Generally accurate article. But it could have been written >20 years ago! Not much has changed over the years, because the power industry, with the help of national governments, has suppressed #EMF research. One example 👇👇👇 microwavenews.com/news-center/... www.housebeautiful.com/design-inspi...

Though #NIEHS / #NTP say more #RF health studies are needed, last year they quietly closed down their entire RF research program. microwavenews.com/news-center/...

This is what’s on CNN right now, an hour after Republicans passed a bill stripping healthcare from 17 million Americans, gutting food assistance to the tune of $300 billion, and exploding the deficit by $4 trillion.

Top spokesperson for NIH’s parent agency, HHS, said: “All contracts with Springer Nature are terminated or no longer active. Precious taxpayer dollars should be [sic] not be used on unused subscriptions to junk science.” Nature is junk science! C.R.A.Z.Y.

Colibactin, a bacterial toxin, may be —at least partially— behind the rise of early-onset colorectal cancer #EOCRC. Colibactin-related mutations are seen more often among those with EOCRC. If you get one by the age of 10, you could develop cancer at 40 instead of 60. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Chinese 🇨🇳 govt is doing far more research on EM/RF biological effects & medical applications than any other country. It’s also working on ways to mitigate radiation exposures. An example 👇 published last week @plosone.org shows how antenna design can reduce absorption in the skull at 1.9-3.5 GHz 1/2

Peer review of this key #RF systematic review must have been a tough slog. It took 14 months to reaffirm the cancer link! Its findings contradict the long-held conclusions of ICNIRP and just about all other standard-setting committees. bsky.app/profile/micr...

Publishers are being offered hundreds of thousands of euros for journals indexed by scholarly databases. Then the journals turn rogue. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Yes--Germany invented the modern university. In the 1930s its universities were the best in the world until the Nazis destroyed them. German universities have never recovered their preeminence. We risk repeating this history here in the US.

The claim that biological systems cannot respond to EMFs below the thermal limit has long been the go-to argument by those who argue that non-thermal effects are by definition impossible. 💥💥💥 Here's a very different perspective. bsky.app/profile/micr...

I was just present as a valued colleague received an email that her NIH grant was terminated. I cannot fully convey the agony of the senseless destruction of the U.S. research infrastructure. It accomplishes NOTHING positive. It is a malicious attack on scientists who support the public’s health.

The reckless termination of grants at NIH continues www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

A major lifestyle change —not cited by @newscientist.com— is that many, if not most, young adults now carry smartphones in their trouser pockets. Those phones are continually beaming RF radiation into their owners’ lower bodies. RF can cause cancer in animals. microwavenews.com/news-center/...

Nonstop madness. NIH staff have been instructed to identify and potentially cancel grants for projects studying transgender populations, gender identity, diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) ... Grants for funding universities in China and those related to climate change are also under scrutiny.

The Body Electric ! New in @nature.com “[O]ur observation that electrical activity directly promotes long-term tumorigenic potential might be generally applicable to other electrically active cells.” www.nature.com/articles/s41...

The authors advise that the exposure level in the bodies of the driver and rear passenger does not exceed the limits adopted by ICNIRP. But that has little meaning since the ICNIRP exposure guidelines assume —falsely— that EM fields and radiation have no chronic effects.

We’re now learning that turtles have not one but two different ways of sensing the Earth’s magnetic field. “The turtles can sense the magnetic ‘flavor’ of a location... Precisely how they do this is still a mystery, but two distinct mechanisms might be involved.” — H. Gee @endofthepier.bsky.social

“They are very, very health conscious, and then they come into your clinic and they’re 33 and they’ve got stage-four colon cancer,” said Dr. Marwan Fakih, a GI oncologist at City of Hope in Duarte, CA. “There’s no question we’re missing something.”  #phoneinpocket? #RF? www.wsj.com/health/healt...

Much press on possible link between seed oils & colon cancer (eg SciAm) based on new study in Gut. But as @sciencefeedback.bsky.social points out average age of study pop was 64, youngest was 30. And no info on diet was collected. So little help decoding 📈 EOCRC. science.feedback.org/review/no-st...

When enough is never enough. ICNIRP is once again contributing to the ascendency of misinformation and disinformation in public health. Another example of why so many people today reject scientific expertise in favor of conspiracy theories.

Yes, troubling. It’s unfortunate the dosimetry is so imprecise. Note that >20 years ago, Leif Salford and Bertil Persson (🇸🇪) showed that leakage through the BBB following exposures to GSM radiation at very low SARs (~mW/Kg) caused damage to nerve cells. ehp.niehs.nih.gov/doi/epdf/10....
