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:

Just made OA, the rich photo collection of Fahreddin (Türkkan) Pasha (1868-1948) also offers a glimpse into monuments protected under the Ottoman legislation on antiquities. Here, the Comnenian fortification walls in Trebizond/Trabzon/Trapezounta. #MMARe #MSCA #HistoryOfArchaeology #ircica

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).
