Question for scientists studying exercise/cardio (for a possible story—pls boost!): We know 8K+ steps daily & 150-300 min exercise/week each ↑ life expectancy. But, if a person can ONLY do one or the other, is there evidence suggesting one confers greater longevity/health benefit than the other?

It'd seem like someone getting 8-10K steps a day is already meeting the 150-300 min exercise a week, but I'm thinking more of 8-10K steps w/o breaking a sweat, spread thru-out a day vs. 300+ intense cardio min a week in bursts—but not both. If you can only do one, which is better, or are they equal?

The AP didn’t used to be known for saucy headlines, but that whole Gulf of Mexico thing must have unleashed their AhFuckIt gene.

Are we having a "caption this photo" contest?

It was remade already: Crimson Tide

The draft dodging idiot posted a pic of this West Point plaque. It contains these words:

“Our American Code of Military Obedience requires that, should orders and the law ever conflict, our officers must obey the law.”

That is precisely what Senator Mark Kelly told officers to do. #NoSedition

This is not surprising, actually

Articles like this make me glad that @quantamagazine.bsky.social is around. Thanks @jakebuehler.bsky.social

The @wpk.bsky.social (which I am a member of) politely but firmly requests that the German Bundestag opens up its research committee meetings, or otherwise provides a platform for journalists to ask questions. Transparency being fundamental to a healthy democracy.

But why? Intimidated by threats? Run for gov/senate? Not to save her district's voters from the trauma of a primary. Dalton can manage --

Dear Director Bhattacharya: I have an important question for you: Do you hope to be taken seriously by the scientific community as someone who is making good faith efforts to understand issues with a scientific component who critically examines any data used as evidence in scientific arguments? I ask because it is not at all obvious from many of your public comments including your recent opinion piece published with the NIH Deputy Director “Time to trash our pandemic playbook — making people healthy again may be the best medicine”.

Starting my Monday morning with an email to Director Bhattacharya...

Modular Influenza Sampling Tunnel (MIST) allows characterization of respiratory particles produced by humans during expiratory activities.

We're leveraging our flu human challenge study at Emory University. Participants will talk, sing, and cough into a modified version of our sampling tunnel described at www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1..., with and without far-UVC lamps. Bill Lindsley redesigned the tunnel.

Former UVA president Jim Ryan, who resigned over the summer due to pressure from the Trump Administration, just shared this 12-page letter with the Faculty Senate, detailing his experience with the Board of Visitors and DOJ.

It's a surreal--and troubling--read.

Department of Education Proposal Excludes Public Health Degrees from “Professional Degree” Definition Discover the new results and implications of Dept of Ed consensus regarding professional degree programs and public health education.

This is designed to tank public health & primary care by excluding public health professions, advanced nursing practice, physical & occupational therapy from loans that can cover the cost of education. This is going to make an existing workforce crisis worse.

I’m a physician who went to the anti-vaccine movement’s biggest gathering. More of my colleagues should too A pro-vaccine physician went to the anti-vaccine movement’s biggest gathering. He warns that public health must learn what it’s up against.

Really great article by Dr. Craig Spencer who bravely attended the CHD anti-vaxxer meeting last week. He makes the case for the need for pro-vaccine public health practitioners to peek behind the curtain to understand the movement in order to better counter it.
