Imagine trusting science to bring astronauts to the moon and back but not trusting science to develop safe vaccines.

Notice how the most celebrated and successful space mission in *decades* was run by at least 50% “DEI hires”—not all white men? And not even all Americans. Maybe diversity *is* strength . . .

Denmark didn’t “transition” its grid—it replaced it. ~15% → 92% renewable electricity in 25 years. Wind did the heavy lifting. Solar is scaling. Interconnection balanced. Flexibility solved variability. Wind built it. Solar is scaling. Fossil lost it. This IS system replacement. ⚡#Bettrification

Look at all that DEI sending astronauts around the moon.

This is an incredible story about a patient who was given a donor skin graft as a visual monitor to catch early rejection signs, protecting their transplant before it was too late. news.sky.com/story/organ-...

Jeff Bezos has $222 billion. If he paid my wealth tax this year, we could fund insulin in America for everyone who needs it plus free school lunch for every kid in Texas—and have plenty of money left over. And Bezos would still have $215 billion dollars to spare.

A different perspective. Always helpful.

Some real talk, on a Friday evening before #NoKings: This is a proposal designed to re-anchor our expectations. No Republican in Congress wants to walk the plank and vote for cuts to cancer research! We shld not fall for it. Our counter-proposal should be a 25% incr in govt support for research.

FACT OF THE DAY. 26 March 1953. In a huge medical breakthrough, US medical researcher Dr Jonas Salk announced that he had created the first polio vaccine. Polio cases fell from 58,000 per year in 1952 to 6,000 by 1958. Salk’s vaccine was replaced by a new one developed by Albert Sabin in 1962.

Gupta: If we’re making choices, we’re making a clear choice right now about how to spend $200 billion over three months. That money could very easily be repurposed to fund a public option and provide healthcare to everyone in the United States who needs it for years.

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have discovered a powerful antibody, known as 04_A06, that is able to neutralize 98.5% of MORE THAN 300 different HIV strains AND permanently reduce HIV viral load to UNDETECTABLE levels, making it one of the broadest-acting antibodies against HIV identified to date.

On clinical service. Have had more uninsured patients than usual. One coming in with a heart attack and the other with diabetic ketoacidosis. Neither had regular care and all of this was preventable had their hypertension and diabetes been caught in time. We are in bad shape.

This move is so incredibly dumb, and ultimately so destructive to our understanding of extreme weather and of climate change, that it could only have come from the Trump administration. Truly dangerous idiocy. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/13/c...

The EPA proposed Friday to weaken air pollution limits on a chemical used to sterilize medical equipment, a move that would reverse a Biden administration finding of high cancer risks at manufacturing facilities that use ethylene oxide to clean medical devices. https://to.pbs.org/4bbDDT6

The United States is falling more and more behind.

A statement from Tylenol

“The industry, and related professions in the social assistance category, added 693,000 positions last year. Without it, the economy would have lost 512,000 jobs, as business and professional services, retail, the federal government and manufacturing all contracted.”

A budget is a moral document.

A development such as this has been a goal for HIV researchers for decades. It is important because people who are faced with difficult treatment regimens are less likely to be compliant. Single Daily Tablet Shows Powerful Results for People With Drug-Resistant HIV share.google/RjULDFVtCYI9...

Justice for Izabela! A Polish court has sentenced three doctors to prison over the 2021 death of Izabela from sepsis during a 22-week miscarriage, after doctors refused to help. "This was a case involving extraordinary negligence, a pure disregard for the most basic and fundamental medical duties."

This is a graph of the death of US science.

I have this cancer in remission (nearly 20 years now). I'm convinced the only reason I'm still alive is because I was (for a neuro knock-on catastrophe) treated with immunoglobulin donated by strangers. Their antibodies taught mine, got me out of a wheelchair. www.theguardian.com/society/2026...

They won't start with banning birth control. First they'll lie about it. Then dictate who can prescribe it, use it, fund it, in what forms, and for how long. Suddenly, your doctor won't call you back. I know this is what they'll do because it's what they're doing to transgender healthcare right now.

We are the laughingstock of the world because of our moronic and psychotic president. Deservedly so.

Healthcare for Americans: “too expensive.” Hospital ships overseas: full steam ahead. And U.S. taxpayers foot the bill. Now do rural hospitals here at home.

Oh, my goodness, this is a huge breakthrough in cancer research. This is another example of why it is crucially important to fund basic scientific research. Scientists Discover How To “Switch Off” Cancer Genes for Good share.google/WFhMJP5m3AK4...

Rural hospitals like Tri-County in Whitehall are doing absolutely vital work to keep folks in Western Wisconsin healthy. But after Republicans slashed Medicaid, rural health care is on the chopping block, making their jobs harder. Wisconsinites deserve so much better.

Menopause is a chapter in women’s lives that brings a myriad of sometimes debilitating medical issues that can last for more than a decade. It’s an area of medicine that for years has been overlooked and underfunded. (from 2025) https://to.pbs.org/3PFuQgE

The new vaccination campaign is another reminder that the world still hasn’t managed to eradicate polio, which primarily affects children and can cause paralysis. The world came close in eradicating this serious disease several times in the past. apnews.com/article/mala...

Medicare for All would save $450B a year. Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity. Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall. It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.
