This ought to be engraved somewhere.

I still have a VCR and DVD player (a combo!). Take that, Disney+! See you guys at Goodwill in the movies and shoes section!

ACOG reaffirms that acetaminophen is safe for managing pain and fever during pregnancy. No reputable studies support suggestions like those in HHS’s recent announcement linking acetaminophen use in pregnancy to autism; in fact, high-quality studies show no such risk. https://bit.ly/47Wxc59

The Rapture AND Jimmy Kimmel's return? Oy, what a Tuesday!

Gupta: It is safe. That’s what the best-quality research shows. And how irresponsible, using the podium of the WH to put this out there when you’re not even offering an alternative. That is dangerous. An untreated fever is dangerous. Untreated pain in pregnancy is dangerous.

A Revived Focus on an Unproven Link Between Tylenol and Autism "Studies over the last decade of acetaminophen use in pregnancy — including a recent scientific review — have yielded mixed results but have not found a causal connection." www.nytimes.com/2025/09/05/h...

Book recommendation in the Year in Review NDD talk by Dr. Audrey Brumback. Love the holistic integration! isthisautism.com #CNSAM

Steve Silberman is so pissed about this Tylenol bullshit that he's screaming from the afterlife he didn't even believe in. Increased rates of autism are due to testing, a broadened definition, and greater awareness. It's not vaccines. It's not Tylenol. It's like his work never happened.

Join me this Thursday for a virtual panel on the state of play on US scientific research, along with Obama Administration Science Advisor John Holdren and @thebulletin.org President and CEO Alex Bell.

Today, a coalition of Feds from most agencies, and several resistance groups, sent a letter to Congress, demanding that they settle for nothing less than a fighting CR that restores integrity to our agencies and our missions, and stating that we will accept a shutdown if necessary!!!!! #shutitdown

New: More than two weeks after a court order ruled the Trump administration's termination of 1000+ grants illegal, Harvard's research funding is still frozen—with one exception. On Wednesday, NSF reinstated both Harvard's grants and access to funds. My reporting:

Polio is not some cutesy little disease, it is horrifying and if your child survives they are extremely likely to have a lifelong disability making their life much harder and more expensive. Only a ghoul would consider getting rid of the polio vaccine. #fireRFKjr #SacktheQuack

Robert Redford playing a gentle incarnation of death, coming for a frightened old woman in The Twilight Zone episode "Nothing in the Dark" (1962). An extraordinary performance then, terribly bittersweet today

Just saw a TV commercial for ICE while watching @colbertlateshow.bsky.social. Really, #CBS?

What do frog eggs, “pond scum”, and cancer diagnostics have in common? The late Joseph G. Gall (1927–2024) turned curiosity about life’s oddities into discoveries that reshaped modern biology. This week, he was honored with the 2025 @GoldGooseAward. carnegiescience.edu/news/joseph-... 🧵 👇

Such sad news about Robert Redford. 💔 Sending love to his family and the #TCMparty family. @tcmtv.bsky.social

The 14th annual @GoldGooseAward ceremony has begun. The #GGA celebrates the unexpected & often serendipitous stories of science that have resulted in discoveries that have changed the world & improved our lives. It is always a great event! #GGA25 #SciPol

This week, a group of experts will step up in a big way to ensure that science goes on, despite Trump administration cuts to Federal science advice. They join several other independent science efforts fighting back. 🧵 blog.ucs.org/gretchen-gol...
