Will some go extinct before discovery?

Is there a specific way this could be prevented?

With locusts, "wait-and-see" can mean "be eaten and go bust"

Wow!

Is this primary research, or could it be relevant for neural tube defects soon?

(I work on prevention of neurodevelopmental disorders.)

Is this due to effects on genome or epigenome in early pregnancy?

Is Richard Dawkins wrong about the nature of life? Is it time to abandon the metaphor of "The Selfish Gene"?

πŸ§ͺIs Richard Dawkins wrong about the nature of life? And is it time to abandon the metaphor of "The Selfish Gene"? That's what's in my new article. It's free to read and subscribe, and it features audio narration (read by me) for those who prefer it.

Are these normal variants, present at conception?
... or mutations, pre/post conception?

(I'm asking because of an interest in neurodevelopment and stunting-at-birth, affecting speech and education.)

Don't forget your flu shot this year! Vaccines are safe and effective - talk to your doctor for answers to questions.

Tylenol "when used correctly".

Overdose or extended dosing can slow auditory development, which may be causing signs like ASD age 2-4, TBC

There is a link with stunting at birth and brain damage also.

Are you sure that the current White House, ICE, militias, and military loyal to Trump will observe and follow the constitution?

Who decides what's an emergency in real time? Trump surely!

Do the "world's biggest problems" you look at include maternal and infant health in Africa and India?

Calling GOP senators would have more impact:

tell them that winter is coming, with more measles and whooping cough and baby deaths

If you're calling up troops to fight troops, you already lost democracy and/or started a civil war.

Better to be more strategic, like the GOP and have a mid-terms strategy:
- practice in non swing places (Portland, Chicago) oo on Truth Social
- know how you'll win
- have a back up strategy

Comms science / body language might be sufficient.

Maybe also political/media scientists on likely impact of ICE agents roughing up a guy in a frog costume, hilarity etc

Luminette glasses can be better, as you can continue with morning routine.

He may instead:
- invoke a wide range of emergency powers to hobble Dems, ABC, etc (seize media, energy, shut down comms, freeze accounts)
- mobilise agencies even more aggressively
- appoint even more MAGA judges
- suspend civil liberties
- use the military, FBI loyalists, ICE to create fear
