This is correct. The entire goal of being a scientist is to disseminate your findings and knowledge to as many people as possible. This is also how we are awarded grants and maintain academic positions.

A quote by Nora Ingdal, Save the Children Lebanon Country Director, is displayed next to an illustration of a bomb. The text reads: "Classrooms should be filled with learning, not used as sanctuaries from airstrikes." The Save the Children logo is in the top right corner. The background is black, and the text is white and red.
Children are bearing the brunt of escalating violence across the #MiddleEast.

Conservatives want to strip refugee health care, and Liberals are already forcing them to pay out-of-pocket for medicine.
Denying preventative care doesn't save moneyβit just pushes people into ERs and costs taxpayers more.
Stop scapegoating. Fix the backlogs.

Alberta's flu season deadliest in recent memory as experts call for action

Family believes Nova Scotia's new medical records system played part in baby's death
"Her doctor requested an emergency ultrasound...5 days after OPOR was implemented, but that she never got a call about an appointment. The family said hospital staff blamed the confusion on the new records system"

Supporting the slaughter of children is never acceptable
Canada should not support the American bombing in Iran
This is the wrong take
Itβs not about weapons
They killed children
They killed girls
Please, change our stance
WELL NOW, would you look at that?
A massive, 26-YEAR-LONG study of MORE THAN 2.4 MILLION people in Sweden found found NO EVIDENCE to support a causal link between acetaminophen (the API in Tylenol) use during pregnancy and increased risk of autism, ADHD, OR intellectual disability in children.
Or you could just chuckle at the absurdity and move on? This isn't Twitter and I didn't ask for advice.
