A Nature study tracked 20,000 Americans for decades. Very conservative respondents died of internal causes at 1.14% higher rates than very liberal ones — after controlling for age, income, race, geography. by @daylightatheism

The Trump administration is tearing up 900 deep-sea instruments that took a decade to install and $370 million to build — scrapping the world's most advanced ocean monitoring network to save $48m/year. Real-time data on AMOC stability, marine heat waves, ocean chemistry, commercial fisheries? Gone. Congress twice voted to save it. They did it anyway by bureaucratic fiat through the NSF. No, not budget management, this is deliberate science vandalism — blinding ourselves to the ocean systems that regulate global climate, because the results were inconvenient.

In today's SCOTUS decision Justice Roberts wrote regarding the gender affirming care ban for transgender minors in Tennessee:
"This case carries with it the weight of fierce scientific and policy debates about the safety, efficacy, and propriety of medical treatments in an evolving field."

Something that seems like it's gone under the radar is #PBS shutting down their #deia program and firing the program management. This is an infuriating and disappointing move by PBS to choose #compliance in advance rather than #defiance. Every inch we give to the #fascists is an inch we may never get back. Hold strong and #resist. The #resistance is having an effect, #muskrat and co are not invincible and your efforts matter.
Please call your local station and send a message to PBS headquarters. Tell them you are unhappy with their decision to support an illegal #coup of #hate, #violence, and #sciencedenial #sciencedenialism. Media needs to remain independent and unafraid of #fascism, something the big media #corporations have seemingly forgotten.

During a time of pressure on public broadcasters, PBS says that it is shutting down its office of diversity, equity and inclusion and firing the two executives who staffed it. With the system getting federal grant money for its children's programming, PBS lawyers judged the move necessary to comply with President Donald Trump's executive order on DEI efforts. But Paul Kerger, PBS CEO, said some of the system's 330 individual stations may have their own DEI officials and may make a different determination. PBS and NPR officials are expected to appear at a congressional hearing next month amid some calls that the federal government stop funding public broadcasting.
