CDC Vaccine Panel Scraps Guidance for Universal Hepatitis B Shots at Birth
New guidance from the CDC’s vaccine advisory panel would do away with a decades-old universal birth dose recommendation for hepatitis B that helped cut infections by 99 percent in the U.S.
“In my career, I have seen children with hepatitis B. I’ve seen children die of liver failure, which is a horrible death. I would never wish this on anybody,” say Yvonne Maldonado, Stanford pediatrician. These risks have now increased under the new ACIP vaccine vote today. More @sciam.bsky.social:

Another National First: Paid Leave for Neonatal Intensive Care Unit Parents | Family and Medical Leave Insurance
Colorado is the first state to add leave for parents of infants born pre-term and require a stay in the neonatal intensive care unit.
I have to say that parents working from the NICU- or parents who have to go back to work and then commute to the NICU when possible- is heartbreakingly common. Colorado is the first/only state to offer paid leave to NICU caregivers and that was just this year: famli.colorado.gov/news-article...

I know about book breaking but had no idea that fragment breaking was a thing. A martyrology leaf offered recently by a respected dealer is now offered on eBay, having been recently (within the past 2 months) sliced in half. The other half has gone missing. *angry sigh* Caveat emptor fragmentorum.

FINAL REVEAL: A brand new Benin bronze plaque, titled "Looting of the Oba's Palace in 1897".
This #newarrival confronts the theft of works from Benin in 1897. It shows what the palace altar looked like before 1897 (left), and British soldiers in the act of looting (right).

Left: four green-coloured bronze coins, two gold coins and a silver bracelet in situ. Right: three gold coins with embossed designs on both sides.
NEW Local bronze coins and imitations of Roman aurei (gold coins) from Tell Abraq, UAE. Occupied for over three millennia, recent discoveries at the site indicate widespread trade and connections over both land and sea as early as the Bronze Age.
