For goodness sake, doesn’t anyone remember the role of the army bases in the flu epidemic of 1918-1919? Has political ideology completely replaced common sense?

This is AI junk. All galaxies were thought to be spiral nebula until the 1920s when Hubble measured a Cepheid variable in M31 and found that it (and the Andromeda galaxy) was located far outside our gallery. Rapidly after that it was recognized that almost all spiral nebulae were galaxies.

Tantalizing parallels with the fictional character Aleida Rosales in For All Mankind. She winds up becoming a leader at NASA.

One would think the head of HHS would be aware of the Kefauver-Harris Act, as it was passed in 1962 and was the very act that required the FDA to consider both safety and efficacy in approvals. His statement reflects the FDA prior to 1962.

Sankey plot would nicely display this data, allowing easier comparisons.

No, we are not returning to the moon. We are orbiting around it.

The '3.5% rule': How a small minority can change the world Nonviolent protests are twice as likely to succeed as armed conflicts – and those engaging a threshold of 3.5% of the population have never failed to bring about change.

3.5% protests have never failed to bring change. Saturday was 2.7%

It’s about safety. It’s about increasing everyone’s costs without proof of efficacy. It’s about drug interactions. It’s about false hope. It’s wrong.

Correlation not only doesn’t mean causation, but there is frequently a hidden or not so hidden association that explains both things. Must be strongly considered in analyzing any “lifestyle” research, especially around life extension - food, red wine, exercise, mental health exercises, etc.

After Decades of Global Searching, Scientists Finally Create the Silicon Aromatic Once Thought Impossible A long-standing chemistry challenge has been solved with the synthesis of a five-atom silicon aromatic ring.

One step closer to a silicon-based life form.

Yep. New DFCI inpatient and surgical center, now associated with BIDMC.

Brian Cox makes a compelling argument that we are unique, or at least, beyond any past or future contact with any other life.

Have to disagree. These math courses are often designed to learn to do the mechanics of calculus and lite theory. Even freshman calculus is watered down in many places. Epsilon-delta proofs and similar should be a part of any decent calculus course, high school or college.
