Women’s health Research into women’s health has suffered from historical neglect and lack of funding.

At least 13 hospitals and health facilities hit during attacks on Iran, WHO says Global health body investigating reports that four medics are among the 1,230 people killed in Iran since start of war

I guess we now live in a world where striking hospitals and healthcare has ceased to be surprising.

Well it remains shocking.

This is a very important point. The vaccines do reduce transmission.

That bears out in the data.

And it’s important to say it bc right-wing operatives like NIH Director Jay Bhattacharya use the lie that they don’t reduce transmission to support their pro-infection/herd immunity advocacy.

Project Nettie: Scientists and academics supporting the biological reality of sex The Project Nettie statement

"Attempts to recast biological sex as a social construct, which then becomes a matter of arbitrarily chosen individual identity, are wholly ideological, scientifically inaccurate and socially irresponsible."

One million of the world’s estimated 8 million species are threatened with extinction.

But hope is not lost.

#GenerationRestoration is reviving habitats bringing back homes for threatened species.

Let's meet Micromelo undatus, also called "miniature melo", a species of "bubble shell" sea snail.

She's got a little art deco backpack!

These snails live in shallow waters at locations around the world (Hawaii, South Africa, Japan).

Our friend the Udzungwa Glandular Tree Toad was first described as a new species just a few months ago! Like other toads in genus Nectophrynoides, they do not lay eggs and instead give birth to fully developed toadlets! (photo by John Lyakurwa)

The HPV vaccine is durably AMAZING.A massive Swedish registry study w 18 years of follow-up found no waning protection against invasive cervical cancer. If vaccinated before age 17, cancer risk is cut by ~80%. Even those vaccinated later still had substantial protection.

Experiments involving infants are usually very restrictive in that the infant must have a probable direct benefit from the experimental treatment, as is the case in the treatment of serious diseases. I do not see how this is guaranteed here and how this can be ethically allowed.

Measuring growth might not catch micronutrient deficiencies. Breastfeeding women are also very restricted in the medication they can take, as traces might end up in the milk and the effects on the infant are usually not tested. So what about the chemical cocktails needed to induce lactation in men?

"The suppression of women in language and law occurs in several forms: by replacing sex-specific language with neutral language; by reinterpreting sex-specific language to refer to gender identity rather than sex; and by referring to females in dehumanizing, biologically
reductive terms" (2/2)
