This is mass murder in Sudan by the RSF militia, over which we don't have much influence, and enabled by the UAE -- over which we have enormous influence that we refuse to apply. Why would we sell arms to the UAE when it passes them on to a group engaged in mass murder and rape?
🚨 THIS IS NOT A DRILL 🚨 Women, children, and elders dropping dead and at risk of death right now on the road fleeing the destruction of Zamzam camp. @HRL_YaleSPH watched them today. UNSC and 🌍 must deploy emergency response now. TIME IS RUNNING OUT. Here they are from space:
Ok so, one of the guys who wrote “correlation is not causation” in response to this chart is me. So, I take it personally. I repeat, this chart is bullshit and I call the author out as a pseudo scientist. I regret I have to waste my time on this. If the author has had visited any…
Here you are:- Over 650,000 children in Denmark, followed for more than a decade No increased risk of autism after MMR vaccination - even among kids with higher genetic risk. Large sample, rigorous controls, registry-based data (not self-reported). The study definitively…
If you're one of the people blowing off the autism data with "cool quips" like "correlation isn't causation" then please replace your quips with DATA and solid empirical reasons for the uptick. And for the love of God, do not insult the universe's collective intelligence by…
Any self-respecting Treasury Secretary would resign rather have the Department be complicit in the weaponization of the IRS against a political adversary of the President. Harvard will endure and it is far, far from perfect, but if this directive is not withdrawn, the…
A report commissioned by Government has called for stronger protections for our ancient trees🌳 The Government should use the Planning Bill to get #WilderByDesign with strict protection for ancient woodlands, veteran trees, & other irreplaceable habitats theguardian.com/environment/20…
What people must understand is that Putin is only accelerating his attacks on Ukrainian civilians because he is completely confident that Trump has his back. The US could make Russia pay for these attacks, but Putin knows that Trump never will. Its a sign of (perverse) trust.
Trump is dismantling US science which has led the world for 50 years. The MAGA movement will destroy the innovation, skills and trust that made America great.
Breaking news: President Donald Trump’s administration is seeking to end nearly all of the climate research conducted by the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Agency, one of the country’s premier climate science agencies, according to an internal budget document seen by…

“You’re imposing a 10% tariff on the Heard and McDonald islands… Why are you putting import tariffs on islands that are entirely populated by penguins?" A good question from CNN’s Jake Tapper
Brexit …. Now just a globally accepted symbol of economic error …
Mark Carney: “I have seen this movie before. I know exactly what’s going to happen.”
No cases of cervical cancer have been reported in those who have received the HPV vaccine at school in my home country Scotland 🏴 None Not one ! It's an amazing anti cancer vaccine HHS Secretary RFK Jr is against the vaccine.
These are the nine children killed by the russians in Kryvyi Rih. Since the U.S. administration cut off support for Ukraine, Ukrainian forces haven’t had enough air defense missiles to shoot down russian rockets. As a result, russian attacks on Ukraine have skyrocketed. The…

I often get asked what is needed to publish in such journals. Basically, you need three things: 1️⃣ A great and novel idea 2️⃣ Solid data 3️⃣ A well-written paper There are no great ideas without deep thinking! In the AI era, we must reaffirm the importance of reading & thinking
