Before making unbiased pulse oximeters, researchers need a better way to measure skin tone

Much of the research to understand pulse oximeters’ shortcomings and devise solutions is focused on race. But the problem is not one of race — it’s very clearly one of skin tone.

Only in America do we call working people ‘essential’ but deny them paid sick leave.

We don’t need to treat essential workers like heroes. We need to treat them like human beings with dignity.

Raise their wages. Give them hazard pay. Guarantee health care and paid sick leave.

The fossil fuel industry is planning to funnel another $1.5 million into the Georgia run-off election in support of Herschel Walker.

Georgia, if you haven’t voted, make sure you do so ASAP.

Vote Warnock.

Watching/listening to Republicans explain Trump's call for "Termination" of the Constitution is classic manipulation and rationalization.

Every GOP official, especially party leaders like Kevin McCarthy, should be asked, wherever they go, whenever they appear, whether they condemn Trump’s call for termination of “all rules, regulations and articles, even those found in the Constitution” so that Trump can now be declared the winner.
They must utterly reject and walk away from this seditious, authoritarian madman. Now.
