We have almost COMPLETELY fixed the hole in the ozone layer!!
The life expectancy of someone living with Cystic Fibrosis more than DOUBLED (26 to 66) from 2008 to 2025!
Lots of people citing this one: HIV went from a death sentence to…undetectable and people get to live a full and healthy normal life!!!! I mean that’s amazing.
The 5-year cancer survival rate is up to 70% SIDS deaths have decreased by over 50% 89% decline in tornado deaths All thanks to federal investment in science and OUR tax dollars at work!

“SpaceX has done more to defend Ukraine than any private company on Earth BY FAR.” I'm old enough to remember when #SpaceX was just a rocket launching company. I wonder how the people who work for SpaceX, who you hear cheering like a cult at the launches, feel about their contribution to wars.....
Lora Kolodny@lorak.bsky.social · 6h agoMusk said he restricted Starlink in Ukraine- causing fast moving drones to lose connectivity - and that he had every right to do so because of some terms of service or contract that he didn't show us.

He is soooooooooo worried about Texas. All his business doings are in Texas and he needs the current shady circumstances to continue, so him pumping this much money into this fight with Talarico tells you *everything* about how much he is worried about this.
dell cameron@dell.bsky.social · 2d agoNEW: Elon Musk gave his super PAC $76 million in just two weeks of October, and more than half of its new candidate spending went to one race: the Texas Senate fight against James Talarico. He’s now given more than $445 million this cycle, far more than he spent electing Trump.
86 scientists are featured in GCSE exam specifications for science. But only one is a woman. Researchers from @cambridgephysics.bsky.social @cambridgeastro.bsky.social @kicc-cambridge.bsky.social say this could be contributing to girls dropping STEM subjects at 16 👇 https://bit.ly/4yYfaKi

(a) so proud of the excellent and important work the #IncludeHer team are doing 🙌🏽👏🏽 (b) more importantly, look at these new results — this is now similar to results from Australia. Women are missing from the science being taught to young people. Go see posts and follow @includeher.bsky.social 👇🏽
IncludeHer@includeher.bsky.social · yesterdayWho gets named in science? 🔬🧬🔭🧪 Our study, led by @cam.ac.uk researchers, found that of 181 scientists named in UK school science specifications for ages 16–18, only THREE were women. Women have shaped science. It's time their contributions were recognised! 💜✨ #IncludeHer #WomenInSTEM

Good! Look how the clown is described: Ryley Niemi -- a content creator whose short-form videos largely focus on antagonizing liberals and mocking LGBTQ+ culture. He deserved the punch, and this is a good outcome (and an example of what others who do the same deserve!)

This is incredible (am just seeing it now) A clinical trial of 1137 people who had melanoma surgically removed and were at very high risk of it returning were given a vaccine that reduced the risk of recurrence or death by 42%, and 55% of patients with advanced melanoma were now effectively cured.

You know you’re back in Oz when you spot the mighty Bin Chicken in its natural habitat the moment you walk outside …. the airport terminal! Besides the Border Force nonsense that took like 5 mins to get from aircraft to Uber. I am pleased.
While I’m waiting …. I spotted an aircraft off in the distance when we were somewhere over central Canada Each pic zooms a bit closer in. ✈️
Ohhhhhh we are being asked to return to our seats and not allowed to deboard as “the authorities need to come through the aircraft” 🍿 👀
When flying from Toronto to Vancouver, the sun was setting and made these stunning colours from ahead of us. And behind us the Belt of Venus and the Moon were starting their climb. Will put a little vid together of the ‘in-between world’ …
