“Simply reporting a COI does not take the conflict away.” Our latest editorial at @healthpromint.bsky.social discusses the messy, confusing and at times performative system for COI declarations in academic publishing. Would love your thoughts! #academicsky academic.oup.com/heapro/artic...

If you think wearing an n95 in public is hard, consider how much harder it’ll be for you to cope with immune dysregulation, new health problems, and/or disability, all of which will make it even more important for you to mask in public in the future. Protect yourself, your family, your community.

„Mit großer Sachkenntnis zeigt Annika Brockschmidt wie die Republikanische Partei im 21. Jahrhundert von jenem extremistischen Tiger gefressen wurde, den zu reiten sie 50 Jahre lang versucht hatte» - @adriandaub.bsky.social über #DieBrandstifter www.rowohlt.de/buch/annika-...
DER NIEDERGANG DER GRAND OLD PARTY
Wie konnten die Republikaner, einst die Partei der Sklavenbefreiung, zu einer Partei werden, die eine autoritäre und rassistische Politik vertritt und eine Gefahr für alle darstellt, die keine Weißen, rechtskonservativen Christen sind?
«Die Brandstifter» zeigt, wie rechte Akteure die Partei gezielt unterwandert und nach und nach die Grenzen des Sagbaren verschoben haben. Ein Prozess, der seinen Schatten auch auf Europa wirft. Die Grand Old Party ist zu einer Bedrohung für die amerikanische Demokratie geworden - mit potenziell dramatischen Folgen für den Rest der Welt.
«Mit großer Sachkenntnis zeigt Annika Brockschmidt, wie die Republikanische Partei im 21. Jahrhundert von jenem extremistischen Tiger gefressen wurde, den zu reiten sie 50 Jahre lang versucht hatte.»

I am reading this 18th century book about the nomenclature of colors and you guys sometimes I’m jealous of these back-in-the-day people who got to write stuff like “velvet black is the color of black velvet” and people would be like “excellent insight, no notes.”
