Defeating Polio in 1953: A breakthrough for Dr Jonas Salk - British Polio Fellowship In the first half of the twentieth century, polio outbreaks, especially in summer, caused widespread fear, mainly affecting children. Although we now know it is a highly infectious virus that can damage the brain and spinal cord, leading to paralysis or death, this understanding was limited at the time, making the epidemics of the 1930s–50s […]

73 years ago on 26 March 1953 Jonas Salk successfully tested a #vaccine for #polio, marking the beginning of the end of the #epidemics that had affected most of the Western world. We celebrate his achievement britishpolio.org.uk/defeating-polio-in-1953-...

🌊🌵 Using 400+ years of Ming–Qing China indices, this study applies adaptive fractal analysis to epidemics, droughts & floods.

🦠⏱️ Scaling ~16 yrs suggests major epidemics on avg not more often than ~every 32 yrs.

‘Humanity’s favourite food’: how to end the livestock industry but keep eating meat Bruce Friedrich argues the only way to tackle the world’s insatiable but damaging craving for meat is like-for-like replacements like cultivated and plant-based meat
