To anyone who uses PubMed, it may not be updated while the U.S. government is shut down.

This is not the end of PubMed; just an irritation for now, but one we should keep in mind.

Ask a physicist how quantum entanglement occurs but add two rules:

1) they are not allowed to explain how it is calculated.
2) they must recognize the search for hidden variables has failed.

Hey, as a librarian I have to tell you

You don't have to finish a book that doesn't interest you. Life's too short for that. Not your jam? You have my permission to move on to the next book.

First-in-the-World Neural Data Protections Law Goes Into Effect On August 7, first-in-the-world legislation goes into effect to add biological and neural protections to the Colorado Privacy Act.

In anticipation of mind-reading technological advances, the Colorado state passed legislation to add biological and neural protections. It went into effect last summer and it’s apparently the first law of it’s kind in the world. www.cohousedems.com/news/first-i...

This image from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope shows a portion of the Leo P dwarf galaxy (stars at lower right represented in blue). Leo P is a star-forming galaxy located about 5 million light-years away in the constellation Leo. A team of scientists collected data from about 15,000 stars in Leo P to deduce its star formation history. They determined that it went through three phases: an initial burst of star formation, a “pause” that lasted several billion years, and then a new round of star formation that is still continuing.

Stunning new image from the James Webb Space Telescope offers a timely reminder that there is so much beauty to be found in this universe, if we look for it.

Maybe that is the answer, but it is the same type of twisted logic that feeds the anti-vax movement in America and elsewhere. So yeah, people expect a bit of due diligence from you, because you are a science communicator and fringe topics need not to be ridiculed.

Ignoring the context here would feed the conspiracy that these official are operating to misguide the public under oath fabricating data or unknowingly sharing data fabricated by the government on a psychological operation. Then they shared a trivial video of a simple object to feed the conspiracy.

While not specific to the video below, but rather the much less impressive tic tac video, context like the one below is important. In this example there is sworn testimony of longitudinal radar data repeatedly collecting unexplainable physics plus jamming capabilities www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oz0p...

YouTube video by Mick West Gimbal UFO - A New Analysis

I love Mick West analysis. But he is not saying it is an airplane. He says, and I quote "I am only going to make the case that what we are looking at is a rotating glare that hides the actual object." He then says this does not explain neither radar data or context, just the rotation.

Infant Mortality Increases Across US Following Dobbs Decision The Dobbs decision was associated with a 7% absolute increase in overall infant mortality—equivalent to 247 excess deaths—and a 10% increase among infants with congenital anomalies, corresponding to 2...

Me, a public health person, just sitting over here reflecting on the fact that the US has experienced a 7% increase in infant mortality post-Dobbs.

Like, do you realize what that says about this society from an ethical perspective? That we made policy choices that caused this?
