And there are real physiologic limits to “acclimating” to extreme weather for everyone, regardless of where you’re from or whether you’re a high caliber athlete. Climate change is going to keep amplifying the morbidity and mortality of abusive coaching practices.

Forget grandiose talk of curing cancer - this is what AI is actually doing to healthcare. In the words of one cardiologist: “it’s bots fighting bots, agents fighting agents, a horrible dystopic future nobody wants to live in.”

I can’t begin to explain what a nightmare this is. Everyone scrubs in (like a surgeon) every time they enter a NICU due to infection risk. Big academic centers like CHOP care for the most complex, which in this context means babies scheduled for heart surgery, those on heart-lung bypass (ecmo) etc.

Can someone take one for the team and show him the current schedule and a single-dose vial to make him think it’s his idea? “Mr. president, look at the schedule for 0-6 months, each vaccine has a dose 1, 2, 3, just like you said. And look how small they are, not the size of ‘soda bottles’ anymore“

personally i think the way you bring maha into the fold is by isolating and (deservedly) destroying the reputations of the movement leaders and then doing the stuff the rank and file “agree” with and eventually theyll come into the fold

so according to the CDC, *foodborne illness* is responsible for about 930 deaths a year. "food-induced illness" is a made up term RFK is using for basically every cause of mortality minus suicide.

How a threat to all the adults in a child’s life never registered as a threat to children continues to baffle me. Multigenerational households, grandparents who are primary caregivers for children… we all so so many tragic situations sending out infinite ripples of trauma.

Chicago History Museum is doing an ad hoc free admission day tomorrow for Chicago residents in order to give people an air conditioned place to be during the day, which is a lovely move. Do other local museums do the same during extreme temps? I hadn't heard of it before.

It’s also amazing that they can’t imagine a solution to a problem that they didn’t have just a few years ago.
