We are definitely winning the war with the Gorn but our allies MUST HELP us escort cargo vessels through the Omega 47 minefield. We don't need their help but we deserve their help. We've already won the war so it should only last 8-10 more weeks. #StarTrek #Sisko197

When someone says „Scientists do not want you to know“ you can dismiss everything from there on. Scientists want you to know. They are desperate that you know. They can’t shut up about what they found out and want you to know.

Ein Jahr, nachdem #RFKjr zum US-Gesundheitsminister ernannt wurde, ist The Lancet, eine der ältesten und renommiertesten medizinischen Fachpublikationen, sehr klar in der Bewertung.

I don't want a city on Mars.
I don't want AI in every app.
I don't want data centres in space.

I want clean water.
I want a stable climate.
I want bees to survive.

The origin of our eyes over half a billion years ago is looking more and more weird--from a cyclops to four eyes to two. Here's my story (gift link): https://nyti.ms/4rzisQP

The FDA decided not to even review Moderna's mRNA flu vaccines for approval, even though the studies the FDA would be reviewing were conducted the way the FDA told Moderna to do them.

Now #Moderna expects that none of its other #mRNA #vaccines will be reviewed, and has halted studies on vaccines for EBV, HSV, and shingles.

A lot of people with herpes would be angry if they found out.

A lot of people who have family members with #MS -- now thought to be caused in part by EBV -- will be livid.
