I mean, if you’re worried about falling revenue, the govt could just stop giving away $10bn in fuel tax credits, which even the OECD says is just an industry subsidy that should be dumped. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

An excellent development! Gay and bi men now able to donate blood. I can highly recommend being a donor -- the staff are lovely, the snacks are plentiful and the demand on your time is very small.

This is a great thread. It's also why you can lessen that feeling of time speeding by and everything blurring together by simply doing *different* things. Get out of the rut. Start a new volunteer thing, take on a different role at work, take a vacation if you can, etc.

You know how time perception speeds up as one ages simply due to the fact that one month or year is much larger percent of someone's life at 10 years old than at 60 years old. But also, consider how fast an infant learns versus and adult. How much new, unknown stuff a child encounters each day.

🧠 Big takeaway from our paper just out: Introducing apps into healthcare isn’t all about tech — it’s also about navigating people, practices, and perceptions. Without early planning and local alignment, even the best apps can struggle! 📄 Read the full paper here: www.jmir.org/2025/1/e66815

Love this. In his “I Agree” installation Dima Yarovinsky-Yahel took the content from terms of service statements for companies like Facebook, Snapchat, Instagram, Tinder and printed them out on A4 paper with a standard font size for legal contracts to demonstrate the length of these agreements.

Alt-Txt: Two people stand before multi-color strips of paper with text on them that stretch down an entire wall and onto the floor. The title of the installation "I Agree" appear in all caps on the wall, too.

📣 We’d love to hear from anyone who has used or considered using the Equity Check feature on our website to develop their #impsci research questions! 📣 ➡️ What was most helpful? ➡️ What could we do better? ➡️ What did we miss?

ImpSci @ UW@impsciuw.bsky.social · last yr.

Hi #impsci friends! Last fall we re-launched our website with a fresh design and new features like the Equity Check for each step on the Research Pathway. Have you used this feature? Any feedback for us? To explore, begin at Step 1: bit.ly/2VPyJEu. Imgs show Equity Checks for Steps 1 & 2 (of 8):

PAUSE AND REFLECT: EQUITY CHECK ❯ Does your research question address or involve inequities in health outcomes, access, or quality of care among different populations? ❯ Have you (and how have you) engaged with the communities affected by the inequities to ensure their perspectives and needs are reflected in the research question? ❯ Is answering this question or addressing this inequity a priority of the population(s) involved, or do they have different priorities? ❯ Does your research team include anyone from the community or communities you wish to study? ❯ Have you considered the social, economic, and cultural contexts that may influence variation in implementation and subsequent outcomes of the intervention? ❯ Are there system-level factors, such as policies and organizational practices, that could impact equity in the implementation process? ❯ Has the population you wish to conduct research with experienced historical or contemporary harm that could impact their desire to participate or shape the implementation process and outcomes?
