With science falling under increasing attack, this medical historian is here to remind people of the power of #vaccines. THREAD🧵 Hard-hitting polio advert from 1958. In the first half of the 20th century, polio was the leading cause of death in children and young adults. 1/7

An advertisement for the polio vaccine which reads: "they all got vaccine except dad...don't take a chance...take your polio shots!" It depicts a photo of a family gathered around a father who is in an iron lung.

Linguistic typology is the study of the grammatical diversity in the world’s languages, the recurring patterns we see amongst that diversity, and why those patterns exist.

Kids are spite-learning Chinese after the TikTok ban by using apps with Chinese UIs. This explains why Duolingo has seen a surge in Chinese learners. Good for them! Learning a new language boosts cognitive skills like memory and problem-solving. Go kids!

The only good thing that is coming out of the TikTok ban is that kids are downloading another app whose UI is in the Chinese language, and now they are learning Chinese. No wonder Duolingo sees a 216% spike in US users learning Chinese amid the TikTok ban and move to RedNote (Xiaohongshu). They are doing it out of spite, I know, but numerous studies indicate that learning a new language can significantly help improve cognitive abilities, including memory, problem-solving skills, multitasking etc. Ha! Go kids learn something new!!!

If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it. Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and it’s your choice. But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word. They aren’t firing for a reason.

Here's a graveyard gun used to prevent bodysnatchers from stealing corpses, c.1820. Set at the foot of a grave, the gun had three tripwires around it. One such gun accidentally killed a grieving father. This is the kind of useless knowledge you can expect from following me. 😂 #histmed

I just translated the word "estancar" from Brazilian Portuguese to English, and it looks like "to stop (the flow of liquid)" or "to staunch" are the best translations. I had never seen the word "staunch" used as a verb! "The medic used gauze to staunch the blood" (Word Reference).
