It’s simply unimaginable that CDC Director Dr. Erica Schwartz has just bowed to RFK Jr. and approved funding for an utterly unethical clinical trial that will withhold the birth dose of HepB vaccine in Guinea Bissau. It is to be conducted by researchers accused of academic misconduct.

Could new bus shelter roofs help New Yorkers stay cool in extreme heat? We're testing a few in Brownsville to find out: a green roof covered with native plants, and reflective roofs covered with low-cost, heat-resilient film.

Natalie Harp is so obsessed with Trump! She aired Trump‘s 2016 stump speeches in their entirety, she treats all his social media posts as major breaking news, even when he insults her, she invites him to speak at a big annual dinner…oh wait, sorry, I got her confused with mainstream corporate media.

New study finds that the rapid growth of electric vehicles in China has prevented over 300,000 premature deaths. Conversely -- and this is just math -- everything done to prevent the rise of EVs in the US leads to more preventable deaths of Americans. It's not an academic debate.

Do you want to know how popular school vouchers are? They have never won on a ballot. Not once. In any state. Ever. The only way states are able pass a school voucher scheme is behind closed doors. Legislatively. The people would never approve their tax dollars going to private religious schools.

Microbiologist & stem-cell researcher Dr. Ann Tsukamoto co-patented a process to isolate human hematopoietic stem cells, 1991. Her work laid the literal groundwork for modern regenerative medicine and cancer treatment. She was born #OTD in 1952. #WomenInSTEM #medsky
A color photograph of Dr. Ann Tsukamoto (1952–present), the pioneering biologist and stem-cell researcher whose co-patented process to isolate human hematopoietic stem cells revolutionized regenerative medicine and cancer therapeutics. Dr. Tsukamoto smiles warmly directly at the camera, her expression radiating intelligence, approachable confidence, and a proud, serene mood. She has shoulder-length, wavy grey and silver hair parted slightly to the side, framing her face. She wears a structured, dark grey or olive-green textured tweed jacket with an elegant raised mandarin collar. The background is a soft, beautifully blurred out-of-focus garden setting filled with lush green foliage, fronds, and natural sunlight filtering through the trees. The bright lighting casts a soft glow on her features, highlighting her historic legacy as a monumental figure for women in STEM.
