Trump urges pregnant women to avoid Tylenol over unproven autism link - BBC News Some studies have suggested an association between the two, but experts say there is no causal relationship.

PSA. #Paracetamol is one of the only reliably safe painkillers available to #pregnant women. Paracetamol doesn't cause #Autism. #Kennedy is an extremely dangerous quack and he is doing untold damage to #medicalresearch and #medicine.

Thanks very much for telling me your perspective!

#CanSky have you ever had the chance to speak to cancer researchers about their #research at an event for example? How did it make you feel about your own cancer journey? How did it make you feel about the state of cancer science and how did it make you feel about the doctors and scientists?

“That they should be the ones to welcome Pope Francis’s coffin in the basilica is because these people are those who represented the focus of his mission,” said Father Giulio Albanese, head of missionary cooperation and communications for the Vicariate of Rome. “They are those who live on the peripheries, geographical and existential peripheries.”

The final honor guard for Pope Francis included migrants, prisoners, transgender people, the homeless and others selected by the Vicariate of Rome as a symbol of the late pope’s mission of inclusion and outreach.

Women, minorities fired in purge of NIH science review boards Scientists, with expertise in fields that include mental health, cancer and infectious disease, typically serve five-year terms and were not given a reason for their dismissal.

Thirty-eight of 43 experts cut last month from the boards that review the science and research that happens in laboratories at the National Institutes of Health are female, Black or Hispanic, according to an analysis by the chairs of a dozen of the boards. 🧪

A Harvard Scientist’s Tuberculosis Research Is Threatened by Trump’s Cuts Researchers who have lost funds warned of long-term repercussions, but several said their school should still refuse to comply with the federal government.

The ICE Detention of a Turkish Student Is a Serious Free Speech Test How much do you really believe in free speech?

The detention of Tufts University PhD student Rümeysa Öztürk by ICE goons on the false basis of being "engaged in activities in support of Hamas" is a major disgrace and a callous attack on the freedom of speech.

As a family member of a cancer sufferer, my greatest comfort comes from finding others stories on here so thank you.

Trump's attacks on the Department of Education should remind us never to elect to high office anyone without a stake in society. We suffered the same in the UK from 2010, when people who used private healthcare and private schools ripped up public services.

He's been feeling so much better, walking and gardening and not sleeping as much, much to be thankful for but anxiety about what comes next

Dad's 3 months scan results just came in after his ipi/nivo course, everything he had has got smaller, some by a little, some by a lot but he's also got new nodes in his lymph node, small bowel and retroperitoneal nodes and one in his lungs has grown. #KidneyCancer

Problem is, a lot of people didn't believe #Trump was 'that bad' cos good people were there to stop him last time. Unfortunately I think some people seem to only learn by the FAAFO method.

Don't just post a flag, #donate to #Ukraine

#Zelensky looks like he's about to cry, he knows the lives of his people are at stake more than anyone. #Trump thinking #Putin won't break any promises with him is a joke. #Europe needs to act together fast, this is over. #RevokeTheStateVisit we don't want these bullies in our continent.

With the Trump interference with NIH grants, many scientists are hurting. Some received good scores last fall and are just waiting for council and award.

But NIH’s budget must go out this year, all spent Sept 30.

Universities MUST provide bridge funding to keep labs intact for the next few months.

Presentation done can't find anything about the #DiabetesUK conference on BlueSky yet, so I thought I'd get this up, any other attendees here yet?🧪
