The other reason you should read Radium Girls is the lawsuits that came out of the girls being made to eat radium on the job (and a later similar case) helped create OSHA. Remember: safety rules are written in blood.

Sort of insane fact about how broken US urban planning is—America now spends more building *just the lights for roads and highways* than on all subways & ground mass transit combined Spending on roadway *pavement* is 18x transit spending

The 2020 election has been relentlessly studied by our most experienced experts and by our most craven partisan hacks for 6y now, and every examination has wound up demonstrating the integrity of Biden’s victory in that election and the malignity of Trump’s obsession with undermining it.

This makes me hopeful. This number is aspirational but nowhere near out of reach: a working professional could realistically cash out their 401k and buy off a public official. Owning a senator is more attainable for most Americans than home ownership.

Research units from across government have been gutted. More than 10,000 PhDs have left government. For example the research arm of the Department of Education lost 90% of their staff and the research office for the Secretary of Health and Human Services lost an estimated 60% of their staff.

one common thread (among the horrifying many) between the numerous ICE shootings/murders is that no first aid was administered to the victim. armed combatants of the government shot to kill, and if they didn’t kill right away, they gave time for it to happen anyway. it is absolutely grotesque.

Howdy #scicomm 🧪 folks! I'm offering a new online workshop called "introduction to design skills for communicating research" on Zoom on the 23rd September 1-5pm BST. Details here: www.infohackit.com/intro-to-des... Shares appreciated!

A panel advertising a new workshop "introduction to design skills
for communicating research" from the training company infohackit. The workshop is on Zoom on the 23rd September 1-5pm (BST). You can improve your design literacy with theory of colour, images, typography and composition as well as practical software skills to put them into practice. The workshop will help you make better
• Conference posters
• Infographics
• Journal figures
• Graphical abstracts

A graphic showing RGB and CMYK colour systems, and two examples of design fonts (Arial and Times). The times font has highlights showing it's serifs (the little decorations some fonts have). There's also a caption that reads "Boost your knowledge of graphic design"

The panel shows graphic design software (Affinity) in use, with a layers panel open showing the components of an illustration. The illustration is of a red kite (the bird!) rendered in simple vector objects.

The panel shows a screen grab from the infohackit Dicord server, with example posts from a forum about different design topics – eg. text wrap in Affinity
