(1/4) Suicide is a leading cause of death among U.S. youth, and we see its impact firsthand. But compassionate care, evidence-based treatment, and early intervention can make a real difference.

I’m at the @ushmm.bsky.social US Holocaust Memorial Museum today. It is our responsibility to remember the past & ensure that ALL human beings are treated with dignity. Stand against those who want to dehumanize people & convince you that someone who is not like you is not entitled to human rights.
Photo of a wall at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum featuring the quote:
First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

In the day-to-day news blizzard, it can be all too easy to overlook the steady improvements that biomedical research has achieved. The latest American Cancer Society report shows why the work matters. "Since 1970, the cancer death rate has declined by 70% in children and by 63% in adolescents..."
