#STARTALK: The Value of Unexpected Results www.youtube.com/watch?v=1hIo...
What is the goal of an experiment? Neil deGrasse Tyson and Chuck Nice break down the scientific process and why unexpected results are what make science so fascinating.
😂
My new quantum computer is almost working, but every time I get it to solve an equation, it collapses when I try to look at the results.
You can’t import another country’s vaccine policy without first importing their actual healthcare system.
Our vaccine recommendations fill structural gaps in our healthcare system, which is widely regarded as fragmented, inaccessible to many, and riven with inequalities.
A male merganser rears slightly from a gently rippling pond, revealing his snowy white breast. The narrow black beak is an ideal fishing tool. The front of the head is jet black, with a bright yellow eye with a tiny black pupil. The crest is raised into a pompadour, black in front, white fringed with black at the back. The back is black, ending in black and white feathers. The visible flank is tan with an indistinct black border. The "shoulder" area is white with black streaks. A showoff of a bird!

Saturday night on MeTV- buckle up for the harrowing highway horror of a motorist being chased by a deadly tanker truck out to render him as roadkill! Dennis Weaver stars in Stephen Spielberg’s “Duel”! 8 pm eastern, 7 central time- as we step on the gas for nonstop tension and terror!
Measles outbreaks are surging again, this time in South Carolina.
In normal times, we’d be hearing anticipatory guidance to the public on what to look out for and to encourage vaccination.
These are highly abnormal times and we are filling the void.

An "atmospheric river" of moisture has left parts of Oregon and Washington under feet of water. The heavy rain have closed roads, caused power outages, and stranded vehicles.
The Pygmy Nuthatch is a tiny bird with a relatively large, rounded head, no discernible neck, and a straight, sharp bill. The legs are short, the wings are short and broad. This particular borb perches in profile on a curved pine branch against the canopy in bokeh.
🤔 Hmmm ...the alternative #BirdOfTheDay is #SmallBirdsBigPersonality small birds oozing personality...
...which makes me think of a darling Pygmy Nuthatch! 🥰

A nice little piece about my institute, @perimeterinstitute.ca, in the Globe & Mail: www.theglobeandmail.com/business/adv... (apparently it is "sponsor content" so it's more like a press release than reporting but it's a nice summary of what we do there and why)
JUST IN: The number of people killed in the devastating Hong Kong apartment complex fire has risen to 128 with as many as 200 missing, officials said Friday, as authorities announced eight more arrests over the blaze. https://cnn.it/4io1eln
An author-signed book is one of the most affordable gifts you can give a friend or loved one.
The American Museum of Natural History shop stocks a dozen of my books, pre-signed by me. You’ll pay near-list price or a Black-Friday price, but proceeds go to the Museum.

Every machine in a Hospital that diagnoses your body without cutting you open is based on a principle of Physics, discovered by a Physicist who had no interest in Medicine.
If you think the world doesn’t need Basic Science, or that somehow Science has failed you, think again.

First-ever atlas of brain development shows how stem cells turn into neurons
There are 6 excellent human brain development papers in Nature - www.nature.com/articles/d41... Check them out!
Sometimes when people ask me why I’m wearing a mask I say I’m traveling or have some important thing soon and can’t afford to get sick and miss it and that’s pretty much always true but I think it would be nice if it were more normalized to just say “I don’t want to get sick” and leave it at that
President Donald Trump keeps touting the fact that Walmart’s promotional Thanksgiving meal basket is cheaper this year than it was last year. But Trump hasn’t mentioned that this year’s basket is different than last year’s – in particular, that it contains significantly fewer items. | Fact check
Saturday night on MeTV- Ray Harryhausen makes more stop-motion magic, providing a rodeo with its greatest attraction- a fierce dinosaur that lives with other thought to be extinct in the “Valley of Gwangi”! Tune in at 8 pm eastern/pacific, 7 central time!
The American people deserve a public health system that puts science before politics.
That's why California and 14 other governors are joining forces to launch the Governors Public Health Alliance to protect communities and guarantee decisions are rooted in data and health.
Do we need to split the MMR vaccine into 3 shots?
No.
-No medical reason. Current vax has no safety issues and works very well
-Kids don’t like needles. Why give them 3x the shots?
-Peds office already have limited bandwidth. Who staffs 3x the visits?
Another nonsensical, unserious “policy”
Dr Albert Sabin
On this day in 1956 Albert Sabin announced an oral polio vaccine, which surpassed Jonas Salk's vaccine in making polio a thing of the past for millions around the world.
Polio afflicted FDR, Mitch McConnell, Robert Redford, and many others.
Let's not let RFK Jr bring it back.

The US government’s shutdown is shaking the nation at a time when public health staffing has already been reduced, the threat of disease outbreaks looms, and both the respiratory virus season and hurricane season are upon us. https://cnn.it/3IBQa6V
On Monday, RFK posted a rambling video on the HHS X account showing a series of graphs and directly stating that vaccines have had minimal impact on human health and saving lives.
Today, in response, we brought our own graphs.
We will not let his dangerous nonsense go unanswered.
I know it seems dark right now, but please, I implore you to not give up, I see an immeasurable brightness waiting for you, where the western sky meets the horizon. I humbly ask the Creator, Wakan Tanka, to gift you reassurance, love and spiritual guidance. Peace be with you.

Tylenol use is safe in pregnancy, lowest effective dose.
