Just learned that the entire division of blood disorders at the CDC was put on administrative leave or terminated effective immediately. The people who figured out HIV was infecting people through the blood supply. What could possibly go wrong?

Something to think about

Hispanic patients have a higher prevalence of peripheral artery disease (PAD) risk factors, undergo revascularization at lower rates, and have higher rates of major amputation. Read more on outcomes for Hispanic patients undergoing open bypass in BEST-CLI authors.elsevier.com/c/1kkXE2ecZf...

Did you know women are often excluded from vascular research? This leads to misdiagnosis & worse outcomes. In honor of Women's History Month, consider supporting the @vascularsvs.bsky.social VC4U Award to fund research & improve care. Every bit helps! bit.ly/3Rkq88J #WomensHistoryMonth #Vascular

The FAA is close to canceling a $2.4 billion contract with Verizon to overhaul the communications system that serves as the backbone of the nation’s air traffic control and is awarding the work to Musk’s Starlink. Follow the money and see where it goes.

“How can i get even MORE blood on my hands?” State lawmakers have filed more than 20 bills so far this session aimed at weakening vaccination mandates. One proposal would even amend the Texas Constitution to preserve a Texans’ right to refuse vaccination. www.texastribune.org/2025/02/08/m...

Today is the international day of the Woman and Girl in Science. To all badass women, scientists keep doing what you do: discovery, mentorship, and hard work. YOU belong in SCIENE. To others, uplift the Women scientists you know, cite them, promote them, sponsor them, invite them - be an upstander.

Banning #words? Seriously? All words exist within some context. And most can have different meanings depending upon the context. SMH

They’ve captured the culprit. The egg heist was carried out by the notorious Hen House gang led by Eggsy Benedict. The police acted quickly - it was over easy.

When Elon was a kid, survival for ALL, the most common childhood cancer, was <10% Now it’s >90% due to funded collaboratives (high indirect costs) whose work ultimately SAVES THOUSANDS OF LIVES EVERY YEAR. For other cancers there’s still so much progress to be made. I think it’s worth it.

Koch, Lister and Semmelweis would like to have a word. This individual cannot possibly be a trained physician.

Don’t ban books. Teach people how to read, verify and analyze information. #Read #Books

Why are Bezos, Zuckerberg, Musk, Pichai and Tim Cook visiting and giving money to Trump ? Because they are in “The Race “ to become the dominant platform in the world. Amazon/Anthropic vs FB/LLama vs Google/Gemini vs Twitter/Grok, vs IPhones/ChatGpt is the penultimate global power war ever.

New Year’s message: Bloom where you are planted. We have this eggplant which is taking over the rose wall so I can’t bear to cut it back. “No problem” says the rose.
