We need to know that our food supply is safe and not just in the pocket of the president. Consumer Reports is sponsoring a petition to return funding to the CDC. Please sign it. Your life may depend on it. actnow.consumerreports.org/lp/g801cn16 #parasite #cyclospora

Historian of science Margaret Rossiter (d #OTD in 2025) coined the term #MatildaEffect (1993). Named after suffragist Matilda Joslyn Gage, the Matilda Effect describes a systemic bias where women's scientific achievements are ignored, minimized, or directly attributed to their male colleagues. 1/3

A black-and-white photograph of the pathbreaking American historian of science, Margaret Walsh Rossiter (1944–2025), renowned for coining "the Matilda effect" and documenting the buried history of women in science. Seated in an indoor setting with a soft, blurred background, Rossiter is positioned from the waist up, facing forward with a warm, open smile. She has short, curly gray hair and wears dark, thick-rimmed glasses. She's wearing a light-colored, long-sleeved shirt patterned entirely with small, dark polka dots. She holds a heavy, open book resting on her lap or desk, her left hand steadying the right-hand pages while her right hand rests on the left-hand pages, lightly gripping a pencil. The overall composition is intimate and studious, casting her as an approachable yet deeply focused scholar. The mood is intellectually vibrant and welcoming, reflecting a life dedicated to uncovering the truth.

This is very exciting. 13000 years ago, there was a mass extinction on this continent. I wonder if it took out this colony as well. No one knows why or how it happened. Maybe this will give us some clues! Thanks for sharing!

>>30,000 structures found under the tree canopy<< This is cool! Imagine what we'll know about our own continent, our own home, very soon! www.scientificamerican.com/article/hund... #science #archeology #human

Hundreds of never-before-seen ancient ‘earthworks’ discovered in the Amazon

Many of these structures date to around C.E. 100–300, during the time of the Aquiry civilization, and may have been used for ceremonial purposes

In light of the preemptive announcement of Rand Paul and other Republicans that their whole intention in calling Dr Fauci for a hearing is to entrap him into false statements so he can be prosecuted, Fauci is handling this just right. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Fauci accuses Rand Paul of having an "unhinged obsession with calling for my prosecution" and of making "repeated slanderous comments," then says "although it pains me to do so... under advice of my attorneys, I will invoke my right under the 5th Amendment to refrain from answering your questions."
