Single Daily Tablet Shows Powerful Results for People With Drug-Resistant HIV A large international clinical trial has unveiled a promising new option for people living with highly treatment-resistant HIV.

I wanted to grapple with the topic of aging and career. What do you do when you can't physically do the job that you are really great at? I wanted my main character to face the fact that she can't keep up with the 30-somethings. What's her next move? #booksky #retirement #aging a.co/d/01L7k9BQ

Porcupinefishes are like the corgis of the fish world - chonky, oddly-shaped, and with a perpetual slight smile. They are fairly fast swimmers but tolerant of a slow respectful approach. #fish #oceans #scuba #diving #coralreefs

A long overdue reckoning for Henrietta Lacks β€” the Black woman whose cancer cells led to breakthroughs but were harvested without her consent. Novartis has settled a lawsuit by Lacks’ estate that alleged the pharmaceutical giant profited off her cells.

#TrilobiteTuesday

Here is the cephalon (head) portion of an Olenellus trilobite from the Lower Cambrian Rome shale collected in Shelby County, Alabama. Early cambrian rocks in the Southeast are poorly exposed but and hard to find fossils in. These are some of the earliest trilobites in N. America.

A Kansas City writer is making a film about the disability rights law that paved the way for the ADA In 1977, Judy Heumann led a 26-day occupation of a federal building that pressured the government to enforce a key civil rights law known as Section 504. Decades later, as the Missouri and Kansas attorneys general try to weaken those protections, activists are putting up another fight.

Kansas City writer Rebekah Taussig recently co-wrote the script for an upcoming Apple Original movie about Section 504 β€” the disability rights law that paved the way for the Americans with Disabilities Act. https://loom.ly/Db0myZw
