A tetanus-diphtheria vaccine that doesn’t need a fridge has passed its first human trial. UK scientists reformulated a licensed shot using trehalose, the sugar that lets desert plants survive without water, keeping it stable for up to two years at 30°C. Gavi buff.ly/1kNIUHB #ShareGoodNewsToo

Unreliable electricity makes it hard to keep vaccines at the right temperature – this development could change that.

Riley did a very good blog about this as a Library Science nerd that’s worth reading aftermath.site/google-searc...
And in this presumption, Google tries to narrow and direct my search behavior in a way that infuriates me as a library science nerd. No database is neutral, but they generally tend to stay out of your way. When you go to your local library catalogue, your desires (and your skill at using a particular repository) are what move you through, not the library catalogue nudging you toward what it thinks you should be searching for.
Google, uninvited, attempts to steer me down the path it boldly presumes I mean to go, in the process inherently attempting to limit the information I encounter by pushing me toward itself instead of actual results.
Google has always done this with its opaque and changing priorities, but that priority has changed from making websites conform to its whims to trying to force me to conform to its obsession with Al.

great article, all-time classic diagram
Flowchart illustrating relationships between The Odds Ratio, The Risk Ratio, and The Risk Difference, centered around “20% more likely.”

The image is a triangular flowchart diagram depicting relationships among three statistical measures: "The Odds Ratio," "The Risk Ratio," and "The Risk Difference." At the center of the triangle is the phrase “20% more likely,” which connects with each of the three measures through lines. Each corner of the triangle features one of the measures, with text indicating their relationship to the center phrase, labeled as "Is" and "Is Not." The outer text at the bottom reads, "Ritual schematic to summon reviewer #2." The diagram uses black lines on a white background, contributing to a clear, concise presentation of the information.

This is the fifth measles infection linked to travel outside Canada documented by the public health unit this year. The authority stresses that measles is highly contagious and can remain on surfaces or in the air for up to two hours. 

The sites where public exposure may have occurred are:

Sunday, June 28: Scarborough Health Network’s General Hospital ER waiting room from 7 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.
Monday, June 29: Markington Family Care and Walk-in Clinic at 3227 Eglinton Avenue East, Unit 143 to 144, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Tuesday, June 30: Scarborough Health Network’s General Hospital, Kids Outpatient Clinic from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. 
If you were at one of the these locations during those times, the public heath unit says to monitor for symptoms until July 21.

Here's the serious bit for anyone who'd rather skip the 4000 words of jokes
Because the truth is, tech doesn't have an image problem. It doesn't have a message problem. It has an intention problem. What's wrong with the axe murderer who broke into my house is not that he hasn't successfully persuaded me to buy into his narrative. What's wrong is that he's trying to kill me with an axe. Similarly, when you launch a product that's designed to put millions of people out of work, block access to sources of verifiable truth, replace human creativity with slop, and lower the barriers to every sort of atrocity, the problem isn't that you haven't told the public a good story about those things. The problem is that you are trying to do them. (
There are things in the world that are more important than money. The fact that you seem not to believe this, that you seem to think any motive beyond ruthless acquisitiveness is fake, dishonest, or childish, is the heart of your problem. Your attitude is not by any means unique to tech, but the

"So you expect every author to check every citation is real and accurate?" YES, in fact, we do. The very *best* explanation for having a fake or inaccurate citation is that you were misleading your readers by dishonestly padding your citations! That's unacceptable!

That’s why it’s so absurd when people say “we can’t fight Trump, he thrives on conflict.” Bullies like Trump do not thrive on genuine conflict with real stakes. They thrive on fake conflict they can win and control. They fear real conflict immensely. Conflict is how you beat them. They are cowards.

More lessons in photography in the snow (this time in b/w). I enjoyed shooting in b/w here as I could overexpose by 2 or more stops to show the brightness of the snow, and still resolve the sparkles in the snowflakes. 📷: Nikon F100 with 24-120 f/4 G 🎞️: Kentmere 100(?) #filmphotography
Photo of 3 mounds of snow in the forest. Forest floor is covered in snow and the low light is hitting the three mounds from the left, casting long shadows. Photo of a mound of snow built up around a small cedar seedling near the shore of a frozen creek. The background is white with snow, with some long shadows cast by out of frame trees. The foreground has some dead grasses on the shoreline. Landscape orientation photo showing a small island (roughly 15m wide) covered in tall conifers. The foreground is a frozen river and the background is the shoreline of the river on the other side.
