An envoy to Donald Trump claims he has asked the U.S. president and FIFA to replace Iran with Italy at this summer’s World Cup.

Italian sports minister Andrea Abodi said the proposal would, and should, not happen.

Imagine, if you will, how Fox would have reacted had Hunter Biden bragged about something like this on CNN.

Btw a friend in Seattle and I were messaging about World Cup today. She got in at 8pm PT, no wait, said she paid $515 per ticket, which she feared she was getting ripped off and I said yes but also that’s among the cheapest tickets I’ve seen/heard anyone got 🫠

Wendy Vega Lores dreams of becoming a pediatrician. She finished high school in two years and began intensive prep to become a doctor.

She has a pending asylum case. On her 19th birthday, ICE detained her anyway. She has been locked away for 10 months.

If he isn’t back 100% for World Cup, I’m blaming Islamophobes who changed at Spain friendly & racists who don’t want him playing for Spain. It has been staggering to see a ton of racist comments about him.
I know it’s a minority of people and he’s hugely popular in 🇪🇸, but the racist faction is loud.

Fragmented and unstructured biological data:
Hospitals, research centers, and pharma companies all generate valuable (but unstructured) data.
2. A critical bias in how we've studied human biology:
Until the 1990s, women were systematically excluded from clinical trials because their biological variability was considered "noise", leading to major gaps in diagnosis, treatment, and outcomes.
3. A fundamentally reactive approach to health: We've studied biology mostly through surface-level signals, detecting and correcting disease once it appears, not in identifying subclinical signals early enough to prevent it.
The consequences are affecting the global health economies:
→ Healthcare systems spend >90% of their budgets on reactive care, treating diseases that could often be prevented.
→ Women are diagnosed years later than men across 600+ diseases, creating a massive global health and economic gap.
→ Pharma loses billions developing drugs that fail due to toxicity or lack of early biological signals.
At BASE4 Biosciences we are building a sex-specific biological atlas capable of detecting subclinical alterations across 47 tissues from a single blood sample, using a patented multi-omic approach (genomics + transcriptomics) and Al.

Leer es increíble. Al capitalismo vampiro de nuestro tiempo y atención no se lo parece. Feliz Día del Libro a toda esa gente cansada y a mil cosas, la del no me da la vida, la que le gustaría leer más, lo echa de menos, se curra sus ratos, lo hace cuando puede, la que sigue deseándolo.

I previously have participated in an NIH trial which diagnosed my stroke after TBI, as well as NIH-participated trial for COVID vaccines. Big fan of medicine and science over here. No fan of this administration.

Pace of N.I.H. Funding Slows Further in Trump’s Second Year

Reading this on the slowing & reduction of funding for NIH clinical trials makes me wonder who in the Administration- other than Trump- would be the Grim Reaper, responsible for the most deaths. RFK Jr? Stephen Miller? I think Elon Musk, with decimating USAID.

Barcelona confirm Lamine Yamal will miss the rest of the season with a hamstring injury.

He’s still expected to return in time for the World Cup.

O si las personas que crecían en una democracia y experimentaron vivirla de adultos, y se encuentran en un país autoritario luego, siguen siendo más activos políticamente.
De nuevo, una investigación fascinante en mi opinión.

Me surgen preguntas de cómo puede impactar en países con mucha inmigración de países autoritarios - lo mismo pasa o no tanto porque son personas que han auto-seleccionados actuar muy fuertemente a una dictadura, y claro, que han tenido la oportunidad de huir y éxito en hacerlo. 2/

Esta investigación es realmente fascinante. Investiga la huella del franquismo en el civismo de generaciones que crecían con ello en comparación a otros.
“El autoritarismo no solo asfixia la sociedad civil mientras gobierna, sino que deja una desafección que puede persistir toda la vida.”

This is a FRAUDULENT paper, AI-generated. My name was used as an author and I had nothing to do with it, never saw it until today e-pubmed.co.uk/journals/dig...
The "Editors" Angelo Rossi Mori, David Mensah, and Zarnie Khadjesari and this "Journal" should be reported.

Happy International Book Day - and Sant Jordi - to all!

One of the great things about living in Spain is how seriously it takes books.

I truly feel this epitomizes a difference between Europe - or at least Spain - and the U.S. Does government try to make city life better & easier & more inclusive or the opposite?
Benches in Barcelona in parks, plazas, maybe every block on main avenues, every Metro/bus stop, by beach, etc.
