I Didnโ€™t Get Why Dense Breasts Mattered Until I Got Cancer at 46 Dense breasts are a cancer risk hiding in plain sight, yet theyโ€™re frequently overlooked and underexplained. Knowing whether you have them could save your life.

It's #BreastCancerAwarenessMonth and I just published this piece with @glamour.com about something I didnโ€™t understand until I was diagnosed: #DenseBreasts. Take a moment to check it out or pass it along--knowing this info can literally save lives.

Luckily, Sinclair has a helpful database of all their stations, so you can see if they're operating in your area and respond accordingly.

A Doctor Claimed He Knew Why I Got Cancer. When He Told Me, I Was Horrified And Embarrassed. "I grabbed my things and left as quickly as I could."

The #Trump administrationโ€™s disregard for #science is terrifying. As a breast cancer patient, I had a shocking encounter with a sham doctor and wrote about why we must trust real medicineโ€”now more than ever in @huffpost.com

Totally--and it's so counter to the indigenous mindset that is relational, that sees the natural world as familial and intimate--something to partner with, not just something to fight and tame. Love that you pointed this out

Good inspiration for today's writing session on how to help pollinators: "This is our heaven, and there can be no other."

Absolutely! And I love how this challenges our notions of where conservation should happen!

Wild bees thrive in surprising places: New research shows that wild bee abundance and species richness were higher in urban wastelands compared to protected conservation sites. ๐Ÿ๐ŸŒผ More proof we need to include urban spaces in conservation strategies. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Wow! Fascinating results! I'm working on a book chapter right now on pollinator conservation so this will a great read.

So grateful to the scientists working hard to get this report out (that was supposed to be a govt assessment)! Can't wait to see it in print.

NIH cuts billions of dollars in biomedical funding, effective immediately The move halts a large slice of money for most universities and research institutions virtually overnight, imperiling vital research in everything from cancer to heart disease.

As a cancer survivor, I know cancer research saves livesโ€”mine included. The current admin's drastic funding cuts will harm future patients. If you have GOP reps, please call and push back. One day, this could be you or someone you love. #CancerResearch #Resist www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

Put Down Those Pruners: Pollinators Need Your โ€˜Garden Garbage!โ€™ When you "tidy up" at the end of the season, you're destroying much-needed winter cover for bees, butterflies, birds, and tons of other wildlife.

Hey pal, it looks like youโ€™re about to *checks notes* wipe out all the pollinators who have been hard at work in your yard all summer!? Whoa. Letโ€™s try another way.

Read on for pollinator-friendly tips for tidying up (or not), and meet some of the bugs youโ€™ll be saving โคต๏ธ
