English physician & epidemiologist Dr. Alice Stewart is best-known for her pioneering research in the 1950s that established a strong link between prenatal X-ray exposure and childhood leukemia. Her work influenced radiation protection standards. She was born #OTD in 1906. #WomenInSTEM #MedSky

Black-and-white photograph of English physician and pioneering epidemiologist Dr. Alice Stewart (1906–2002) working at her desk, symbolizing her groundbreaking research linking prenatal X-ray exposure to childhood leukemia. The composition positions Dr. Stewart on the left side of the frame, angled slightly toward the camera. She sits at a wooden desk with her body turned forward, leaning her forearms against the surface. Holding a pen in her right hand, she is captured in the act of writing on loose-leaf papers, looking directly at the viewer with a slight, knowing smile and an intelligent, engaged expression. Her dark hair is short, textured, and styled in loose curls around her face. She wears a crisp, light-colored medical lab coat over a textured collared shirt or blouse. The setting is a research lab or office environment. Positioned prominently in the background on the desk to her left is a large, classic black compound microscope. Stacks of research papers, documents, and reference materials are scattered across the workspace. The overall mood is intellectual, professional, and deeply focused, capturing a legendary scientist whose rigorous data collection transformed global radiation protection standards.

We secured $400 million from pharmaceutical companies for their roles in a scheme to inflate drug prices and reduce competition. I encourage any New Yorker who may have been cheated by this scheme to submit a claim.

A teacher earning $60,000 pays Social Security taxes on every dollar she earns. A worker earning $184,500 does too. But someone earning $10 million pays tax on just the first $184,500. That doesn’t make sense. We can protect Social Security if everyone paid their fair share.

In our area the practice my husband & I use has changed hands. This year they decided they only take United Health Care. Funny but that is the same conglomeration that bought the Drs' practice. Same practice we have used for 30+yrs. Same ones that own the CVS/script service they are trying to sell.
