This thread asks why Trump saying “I'm going to try to cheat like hell..." isn’t getting as much media attention as his obviously farcical $5,000 proposals. They ignore it when he says crazy things that are true, and take seriously the crazy things he says that are not. Sanewashing.

Chemotherapy is usually standard treatment for cancers. But they are not necessarily tailored to each patient. Vaccines are a game changer b/c they can be applied to all cancers, since they involve genetic mutations. They harness the patient's own immune system. 🧪 www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Virologist/molecular biologist Dr. Flossie Wong-Staal altered the trajectory of the global HIV/AIDS epidemic. First to clone HIV-1 & complete its genetic mapping, directly leading to life-saving antiviral drug cocktails. Most-cited female scientist of the 1980s. Born #OTD in 1946. #WomenInSTEM
A black-and-white portrait of Dr. Flossie Wong-Staal (1946–2020), the pioneering Chinese-American virologist who first cloned HIV-1 and mapped its genome. Sitting in her research laboratory, she faces forward with a composed, direct, and confident expression. Her dark hair is styled in a short, neat bob, and she wears long, slender dangling earrings. Over a dark, patterned blouse, she wears a crisp white laboratory coat. She rests her left forearm on a lab counter beside her, while her right hand holds a dark binder resting on her lap. The background shows a busy lab setting filled with shelves of scientific glassware, chemical bottles, and equipment, all slightly out of focus to draw attention to her. The composition places her slightly off-center, capturing an professional and scholarly mood that underscores her historical significance as a leading figure in molecular biology during the height of the HIV/AIDS crisis.

NASA has unveiled one of the closest images ever captured of Jupiter—and the detail is truly stunning.

Swirling cloud patterns, enormous storms, and chaotic bands sweep across the planet, each one far larger than Earth itself. These massive systems have been active for centuries, and many are likely to persist for generations.

A powerful reminder of how intense and ever-changing our Solar System truly is.
