"Pediatrics often works in quiet yet profound ways, gently shepherding the life course of children towards thriving and flourishing. "We can figure out what’s going on with patients who can’t talk. Or gently tease things out of ones who won’t talk." captimes.com/opinion/gues...

Kind of surprised that this hasn't been bigger news. It's finals week for a whole lot of universities, and yet, Canvas (a learning/grading platform used by ~9,000 schools globally) is currently inaccessible because of a pay-or-have-your-data-leaked hack. www.insidehighered.com/news/tech-in...

This story brought tears to my eyes. Every time purveyors of disinformation sow doubt about vaccines, they're risking the lives of kids. Globally, measles kills more than 100K kids a year, and that number will increase if the anti-vax industry is able to sue manufacturers and line their own pockets.

In early 2025, beaver activity in the Brdy Protected Landscape Area, Czech Republic, contributed to the restoration of a wetland ecosystem. A family of beavers constructed a series of dams that coincidentally accomplished environmental goals of the Czech government, which had delayed its proposed project since 2018 for bureaucratic and financial reasons. The beaver-built dams saved the Czech government approximately US$1.2 million,

From 'Breathe through your nose' to 'Care for your feet', a cast of largely unimpressed London infants spreading the municipal health message in 1938 More excellent health advice available through our digitised sources on British healthcare, 1900-1948, at warwick.ac.uk/services/lib...
Photograph of 13 small children captioned 'Performance of the Council's propaganda play "A Health Pageant," by the scholars of an L.C.C. Infants' School'. One child is dressed as a possible nurse. The rest are wearing placards containing a range of public health messages including 'Play in the open', 'Bath often', 'Clean your teeth', 'Haste to bed' and 'Drink water'. Only one of them ('Play in the Open') looks particularly happy about the situation. The image is from 'Health and cleanliness : a text book for teachers', published by the Health and Cleanliness Council in 1938.
