Hard to watch the continued harassment of Fauci – a man who has dedicated his life to science & served his country during an extremely difficult time. I've had opportunity to meet & present with Fauci. Kind. Thoughtful. And still the focus of MAGA lies. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Trump administration needs to stop ‘public harassment’ of Fauci and scientists, open letter says

Letter, published before Anthony Fauci will appear before Congress, accuses Republicans of ‘waging a war on individual scientists’

Alberta out-of-pocket payments for private medical testing beginning this week | Globalnews.ca

Patients will pay for the tests when they receive them and potentially be reimbursed if the results lead to a cancer diagnosis, the Alberta government said.

Marco Rubio is against birthright citizenship. But Marco Rubio *is* a birthright citizen. Ted Cruz is against birthright citizenship. But Ted Cruz was born in Canada. He only got US citizenship by a birthright citizenship law because of his US mother. They are both shameless hypocrites.

Rapid scientific progress has given us the tools to stop time more convincingly than ever – but lurking behind these claims is the same fear of ageing

If you have *real* evidence of election fraud, you file a lawsuit. But if you are a pathetic sore loser who wants desperately to believe any fiction that excuses your actual loss, you go on TV where, unlike in court, you won’t be held accountable for your brazen and ridiculous lies.

The Norwegian Football Association donated all proceeds and ticket revenues (totaling over $350,000) from their World Cup qualifying match against Israel to Doctors Without Borders for humanitarian aid in Gaza. Guess which team I’m rooting for . . .

Maggie Haberman should send this stupid brat a fruit basket to thank him for all this free publicity for her new book, which Donald *clearly* did not find boring.

The White House has become Dollar Store Caesar’s Palace. Donald Trump has always been an extraordinarily tacky man. I remember when they first showed the inside of his Trump Tower condo on “The Apprentice.” We were supposed to marvel at the luxury. I laughed at the vulgarity.

These were suppose to be lessons not the play book

After a months-long occupation, Minnesota is still recovering from a retribution campaign waged by the federal government. Now, Minnesota stands with Houston in demanding accountability for the fatal shooting of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo. This bloodshed cannot be normalized.

Ivermectin isn’t a cancer miracle drug, but influencers claim otherwise – here’s how to avoid sprinting past scientific evidence

Science works at a much slower pace than social media, opening a large window for early findings to be taken at face value and misinformation to spread.

A genuine scientific breakthrough, but also a good example of ethics hype. The headline grabbing fears – cloned armies! – and policymaking associated with cloning were ALWAYS nonsense. From cloning to gene-editing: the enduring legacy of Dolly the sheep www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Any odds on how long it will take for Andy Burnham to resign as Prime Minister or is it too soon for that?

On #GlobalALSMNDAwarenessDay I suggest to any folks affected by #ALS #MND - consider applying to the Patient Fellows Programme (PFP). Based on “Nothing about us without us”. As a past Fellow, I thoroughly recommend it. Details can be found at www.als-mnd.org/events-progr...

Increasingly, the "raw milk" trend is about politics & personal identity. This science-free & demonstrably harmful trend is (yet another) example of the power of influencers & distrust mongers (government "overreach"!) to do harm. Ugh. www.propublica.org/article/mark... @anniewaldman.bsky.social

A reminder: The Attorney General of the United States should be the people's lawyer, not the president's personal attorney. The Department of Justice should act to protect the public, not the occupant of the Oval Office and his political allies.

World Ocean Day, celebrated each year on June 8, encourages collective action to protect the world’s oceans. The theme of this year — “Strong Marine Protected Areas for Our Blue Planet” — aims to protect biodiversity.
