Scientists are developing artificial blood that could save lives in emergencies A research team has successfully tested a blood substitute in animals, and human trials may not be far off. The powdered blood could help medics respond faster in a crisis.

Rural Hospitals in the US. 1,358.
50 billion over 5 years to save them.
It won't be enough. Not even close.
$613,647.52 a month for a hospital.
Half would be allocated funds through state grants, and a percentage through rural populations within each state.

My kids know an American flag when they see one – but they don't yet know all that it represents.

When they're old enough, here is what I'm going to tell them:

Oh.. I see my childhood "Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer"..

Electric grills are a climate-friendly option to fossil fuel grills Grilling usually involves burning fossil fuel. But some manufacturers are offering electric grills and citing climate change and convenience as reasons to switch.

Summer grilling usually starts with filling a propane tank or buying a bag of charcoal briquettes. But some people are ditching these fossil fuels for a more climate-friendly electric grill. My story for @npr.org: www.npr.org/2025/05/23/n...

Godzilla roars to life at exhibit marking movie monster’s 70th anniversary

PACIFIC TRAVEL | Godzilla’s iconic roar has rumbled across the big screen since the monster’s debut in 1954. More than 70 years later, artists from around the world are paying tribute to the legendary creature in a new exhibit at the Mori Arts Center in Tokyo.

Someone asked if I consider myself neurodivergent, and I think it's probably best to describe myself with some astrological-like phrasing: I'm Neurotypical with ADHD rising, if you get my drift, just like I'm an Introvert but my moon is in Social Butterfly.

Ages 0-4 are the most important, emotionally & intellectually, in human development.

Yet, in the US, we have a very high rate of childhood poverty and a broken child care system.

Congratulations to New Mexico for leading the way forward for high quality, free child care. Other states must follow.

Pope Leo with a message so many need to hear.

Thoughts on Placebo-Controlled Trials of Vaccines The topic of placebo-controlled trials of vaccines, and the question of whether it’s a good idea to conduct them for new and updated vaccines, is suddenly much in the news.

I hope everyone with an interest in how we regulate pharmaceuticals is reading Rob Califf's newsletter. For a guy who went to Duke, he's pretty damn smart.

These boxes are not moving. A mind-bending optical illusion by Japanese artist Jagarikin.

Opinion | What Medicaid Cuts Would Do to My Rural Hospital Small-town America depends on health care systems like mine, but I’m not sure we’ll be able to keep our doors open if Congress cuts Medicaid.

This is worth reading

Dr. Anthony Fauci urges Americans not to accept "Normalization of Untruths".

Robert F. Kennedy Jr will require all new vaccines to undergo placebo testing, WaPo reports U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr intends to shift the way vaccines are tested, The Washington Post reported on Wednesday, citing a spokesperson from the HHS.

Just to be clear, this is a violation of the fundamental ethical principle in clinical trial design called "equipoise."

Equipoise means that no-one is exposed to excess risk just to test the therapy. That's specifically *why* vaccine trials don't use placebo arms.

Ethical violation as POLICY.

Nice restaurants love to have a dessert called like “Milk and Cereal” or “Donuts and Coffee” and it’s their little take on what if those things cost nineteen dollars.

New blood test identifies hard-to-detect pancreatic cancer with 85% accuracy A new blood test could help doctors detect pancreatic cancer earlier, potentially improving survival rates for one of the deadliest cancers.

A new test can find cancer in just 45 minutes — even in its earliest stages!
With further clinical trials planned, researchers hope PAC-MANN could become a widely accessible tool for catching pancreatic cancer sooner, ultimately increasing survival rates for one of the deadliest cancers.

People are NOT understanding what empty cargo ships from China means.

It means no work for dock workers. No work for truck drivers, no work for retailers, fewer dollars circulating. The cascade effect is just mind boggling.
