Starting today, new SNAP restrictions in Texas prevent purchase of candy bars, gum, sweetened drinks, and nuts, raisins, or fruits coated in chocolate/yogurt/caramel. Imagine using your political power to prevent a parent on low-income from buying a candy bar for their child.

If a teen is interested in losing weight, chances are they may turn to artificial intelligence platforms to get advice. The AI advice they get may be to keep their calories and nutrients drastically below their daily needs, according to a new study by Frontiers in Nutrition. cnn.it/41clD52

For the first time in 25 years the United States is on the brink of losing its measles elimination status due to misinformation about vaccines from RFK Jr.. Measles weakens the immune system and opens doors for other illnesses that can become deadly. #RemoveRFKJr, Save Lives.
On the top of the photo is black test reading: "Measles outbreaks don't make America healthy." Below that is a photo of a woman holding a baby with measles. Below that is an article title reading: "Measles Cases Hit 34-Year High as US Vaccines Norms Crumpled" with a sub-text reading: "Health officials warn more diseases could spike as immunisations fade." Below that is bold black text reading: "SAVE LIVES. REMOVE RFK JR.". Below that is the: "Stand Up For Science" logo.The top of the photo has large red boxes with white text reading: "ACTION MENU". Below that in a blue box is a link reading: "standupforscience.net/impeach-rfkjr". Below that is a checklist of three tasks.
"1. Endorse our articles to IMPEACH and REMOVE RFK Jr."
"2. Contact your House Representative to ask them to CO-SPONSOR the articles."
"3. SHARE WIDELY! The more pressure we create, the more changes we can make!"

Boop.
Scientific Research Policy: National Science Foundation, National Institutes of Health, the Department of Energy, the Department of Agriculture, and Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency. The federal R&D agencies not only deploy a large amount of capital but also maintain a large infrastructure and national prestige (for example, the Department of Energy’s national laboratories). Even small and non-financial changes could have a big effect. For example, the National Science Foundation’s Broader Impacts Statement or the National Institutes of Health’s Significance Statement, which link a project to specific, measurable benefits, could be refined to explicitly focus on impacts to families and communities. The National Science Foundation explicitly expects projects to have “the potential to benefit society and contribute to the achievement of specific, desired societal outcomes.” For example, research in public health or behavioral science could lead to ways to reduce anxiety, addiction, and depression that may be impairing marriage formation and stability as well as improve child health metrics to reduce overall pressures on families. Researchers will need to be as concrete as possible in defining measurable outcomes on marriage and family over time.

I’m happy to see the new American Cancer Society report showing that the U.S. has reached a historic milestone in cancer survivorship, where 70% of patients live for 5+ years after diagnosis. But I also see it as a requiem, because the systems that made it happen have been destroyed.
