This is a travesty, eliminating #PublicHealth loans for PT, OT, MPH, DrPH and many other degrees. They are trying to kill us.

Is this #COP30 another one of those large meetings in which officers perform? Is it one of those large events packed with observers from wealthy institutions in the north hemisphere that feel good about a vacuous commitment to nature?

The perverse consequences of the easy A Grade inflation isn’t newβ€”but it’s getting harder to ignore. At Harvard, more than 60 percent of undergraduate grades are now A’s, up from 25 percent two decades ago.

The problem isn’t just lenient grading, it’s a system that’s come to value satisfaction over struggle. Rising tuition and competitive admissions have turned students into customers, universities into brands, and grades into deliverables. www.linkedin.com/pulse/perver...

Es exactamente lo mismo. AdemΓ‘s de usual enfasis en el tratamiento y no em la prevenciΓ³n. Por ejemplo es popular proponer quieter acceso a el tratamiento de cancer en vez de invertir en prevenciΓ³n (contaminaciΓ³n, habitos saludables, etc)

It shouldn't be lost that the East Wing held all the offices of the first lady and the social secretary. They tore down the offices typically reserved for women to build this gaudy wannabe Versailles ballroom.

Peripheral tolerance in celiac disease, for example, is about the abreakdown in the immune system's ability to prevent an autoimmune response to gluten, leading to damage in the small intestine.
