I’m convinced that the antivax movement will look like an absolute act of stupidity to historians. The US willingly reintroducing measles is just baffling…

It's #NationalPumpkinDay! 🎃 Why are pumpkins orange, and what do pumpkins have to do with pumpkin spice? Here are the chemical answers in @cenmag.bsky.social: cen.acs.org/articles/93/... #ChemSky 🧪
Infographic on the chemistry of pumpkins. The colour of pumpkins is due to carotenoid compounds such as beta-carotene, the same compound that gives carrots their orange colour. The vegetal aroma of pumpkins is mainly due to cis-3-hexen-1-ol, along with other six-carbon alcohols and aldehydes. Canned pumpkin is often not the same type of pumpkin as those used for carving, and consequently, the aroma compounds differ, including burnt-smelling 2-methylbutanal, coffee furanone, and furfural. Pumpkin spice flavour has little to do with pumpkin and more to do with the spices added, including cinnamon, nutmeg and clove.

A review for a Little Caesar’s somewhere by Kevin S: 

Stopped into this Little Caesars just trying to get a $6 pizza and ended up in a full on action movie. Just as I grabbed my order, this furious dude barges in yelling about how I cut him off in traffic earlier.
Before I can even respond, he throws a punch but then out of nowhere the guy behind the counter jumps over it like he's been waiting for this moment his whole life and just beats the living hell out of the guy. The guy ran off and the cashier just dusted himself off. I said "are you ok man" and he looked me dead in the eye and said "B*tch, this is Little Caesars. We always hot and ready."
Five stars. Will absolutely return.

Vaccines save 2-3 million lives every year. They are incredibly safe. The risk of a serious adverse event after vaccination is ~1 in 1,000,000. Context: The risk of dying in a car crash: 1 in 100. The risk of peanut allergy: 1 in 200,000. The risk of dying from choking on food is 1 in 2500. 1/

Infographic on how the sun affects our skin. The graphic highlights the different ranges of UV light and how it can both cause skin damage and lead to the synthesis of vitamin D. It goes on to highlight how melanin absorbs and dissipates the energy from UV light and how UV light can damage DNA.

Today is #NationalDandelionDay. Did you know that some types of dandelions can be used to produce rubber? Find out more in this graphic: www.compoundchem.com/2022/05/26/d... #ChemSky 🧪
Infographic on dandelion chemistry. The left side of the graphic details some of dandelion's medicinal uses, including as a diuretic, anti-inflammatory, anti-carcinogenic and anti-oxidative. Polyphenols and sesquiterpenes are responsible for many of these and are also responsible for the bitter flavour of dandelion leaves. The right side of the graphic details rubber extraction from Russian dandelions. Bike tyres made from dandelion rubber are now commercially available and consumer tyres are expected to follow within the decade.

'Organic' Agriculture: The $52 Billion Hoax
Organic agriculture is wasteful of land and water, and its products are prone to microbial contamination. It offers no advantages except to the grifters in its supply chain.
