It's #InternationalWomensDay! The forensic scientist Frances Glessner Lee created real crime scene dioramas to train homicide investigators in the 1940s/50s. She was troubled that patrolmen and detectives rarely knew how to secure a scene, or identify key evidence in a forensic investigation.

With science falling under increasing attack, this medical historian is here to remind people of the power of #vaccines. THREAD🧵 Hard-hitting polio advert from 1958. In the first half of the 20th century, polio was the leading cause of death in children and young adults. 1/7

An advertisement for the polio vaccine which reads: "they all got vaccine except dad...don't take a chance...take your polio shots!" It depicts a photo of a family gathered around a father who is in an iron lung.

As we start the new year, I would like to remind everyone that it is now almost 120 years since the US decided consumer protection - by which I mean regulation - mattered. Given the upcoming presidential inauguration, let's talk about how that happened - and why it's so important. (A thread)

This fall I was at a meeting of Midwest environmental regulators. They were deeply concerned about rising lead contamination of products sold in the U.S. See also cinnamon: www.consumerreports.org/health/food-...
