Basic science is curiosity in action. It’s the pursuit of fundamental knowledge about how the world works. It’s not about chasing a cure today. It’s about understanding the scientific building blocks of knowledge so we’re ready for the breakthroughs of tomorrow.

As a rule I don’t endorse political candidates, and this shouldn’t be taken as an endorsement, but I am deeply impressed with Dr. Andrews @AnnieAndrewsMD her knowledge (and excellent sense of humor), and we certainly need pediatricians in the U.S. Congress
I'm Dr. Annie Andrews. I’m a pediatrician, not a politician. But either way I know how to handle people who are full of sh*t. Today I am announcing my campaign for US Senate to replace Lindsey Graham. RT if you're with me.
Billy Joel’s diagnosis is raising awareness about a condition that’s often overlooked: normal pressure #hydrocephalus (NPH). If you’ve noticed the signs in yourself or a loved one, it’s time to learn more. hydroassoc.org/NPH #NormalPressureHydrocephalus #NPH
