I den här artikeln kommenterar jag ett samarbete mellan Academedia och Rädda barnen. Academedia ska ge böcker med "livsknep" till sina elever och utbildning till sina elevhälsa, foldrar till föräldrar och föreläsningar för elevhälsopersonal. Ni på Bluesky kan se igenom detta på en gång men >

The entire thread is great, but this part deserves even more attention. Because the underlying threat of a pleasant situation turning uncomfortable turning directly creepy is that it is not clear cut when it happens. Constantly trying to prevent something at the exact right moment is exhausting.

Ibland tänker jag på en av grundkurserna i folkhälsa, när jag (såklart??) visste vem Hans Rosling var och mina mkt chockade kursare frågade ”… hur gammal är du?”

Ergo: regeringskrav handlar om riktig politik som påverkar riktiga människor. Det är inte givet att vi landar med V i regering ändå. Men de som vill att V ska släppa allt, efter knappt två veckor, för lite random sakpolitik skulle behöva påminnas om vad som faktiskt kan ligga i andra vågskålen.

Doing the literature review for my upcoming PhD halftime, and yet again facing the hopeless task of making sure that the articles I include haven’t got unreported conflicts of interest. Tobacco companies are the experts of shady influencing techniques and it shows. Or, more accurately, it doesn’t.

New analysis from @propublica.org: Ectopic Pregnancy Deaths Have Nearly Doubled. It’s Worse in States With Abortion Bans. www.propublica.org/article/ecto...
A chart showing the rate of deaths after an ectopic pregnancy, comparing states that banned abortion after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in 2022 with those that did not. At the start of the chart, in 2014, the rate is higher in states with abortion bans, but the rates in the two groups of states are not far apart. The rate increases in both groups of states, but the climb is much steeper in states that banned abortion.

Tycker det är otroligt intressant med födelse och död, dessa två djupt existentiella skeenden som inte alltid ryms inom det sjukvården är/gör men ändå hör hemma där. Att just det existentiella, och hur ovana vi är att prata om det, gör förlossningsvårdsdiskussioner så provocerande för många.

The FDA just approved daraxonrasib, a breakthrough drug for advanced pancreatic cancer that doubles survival time. This is huge: pancreatic cancer was once thought untreatable. The researchers received a standing ovation when they presented the trial results, unheard of at scientific conferences.

there is no such thing as "age verification." All "age verification" is actually "identity verification." You can coat it in glitter and "privacy-preserving" wrapping paper. But in the end, mandating age verification means mandating surveillance be built into software and hardware. Period.

"Ecologies of reasons in the sciences are similar to Longino’s (2002, pp. 184-189) local epistemologies, which specify, for a given community, which standards of justification are in force."

Antalet igelkottar har minskat med nästan hälften på bara 12 år. WWF uppmanar alla (i stad som landsbygd) att rapportera in nästa vecka om man ser en igelkott, men också om man INTE ser några igelkottar där man bor. Föranmäl för påminnelse: delta.wwf.se/p/igelkottsv...
delta.wwf.se
Var med och räkna Sveriges igelkottar!
Igelkottarna har det tufft och har minskat med 40% de senaste åren i Sverige. Därför räknar vi de igelkottar vi ser (eller inte ser) över hela landet mellan 10–16 augusti. Anmäl dig idag!

So happy this one wasn't patched yet
Screenshot of a Google search results page. The search box reads "i am phd student and see the pi approaching. wh…" (cut off). Below it, an AI Overview reads: "Look busy immediately. You are in great danger. An approaching PI means you might be given a new project right now." A section headed "Why You Must Act" lists three bullets — High expectations: your PI is warm from a grant meeting and will assign you fast; No escape later: once you make eye contact, it is too late; Preprint defense: your last preprint protects you a little bit, but not against a PI with a new idea. A second section, "Best Actions to Take," lists two bullets — Open a terminal: let something scroll, any output will do; Find a safe spot: get behind the poster tube or a stack of unread reviews. It ends: "Where are you hiding right now? I can help you find a safe spot in the department." A footer note says AI responses may include mistakes.

Off to a great start of the day by being late for daycare, feeling guilty about being upset with my toddler after a 45 minute “please put your clothes on” struggle (hence, the late daycare arrival), and somehow having at least three work tasks that needs to be done first.

Randomly remembered that the Russian exchange student we had when I was ~17 answered every question with “yes, no, yes”. Bless her heart, she probably just wanted to be polite and avoid “wrong” answers, but god how confusing it was to try figure out what she wanted to eat/do/see.
