@thomasaveith @simonmaechling @JustTheTweets17 They make it, correct. More importantly to my point is why did FDA and CDC only recommend Remdesevir

The FDA allows arsenic in your kids candy but wouldn't let you take ivermectin during covid.
If you look to them for anything, you've learned nothing.
Nicolas Hulscher, MPH@NicHulscher
🚨60% of childhood candies contain dangerous levels of arsenic — SweeTarts, Snickers, Skittles, Kit Kat, Nerds, Sour Patch Kids, Twizzlers, Jolly Ranchers, Trolli, Tootsie Roll among the worst offenders. Florida tested 46 popular sweets. 28 showed elevated arsenic linked to increased cancer risk with repeated exposure. Safe YEARLY limits for a child based on detected arsenic: ⚠️ Nerds (Grape/Strawberry): 96 pieces / year ⚠️ SweeTarts Original: 48 pieces / year ⚠️ Sour Patch Kids: 36 pieces / year ⚠️ Skittles: 48 pieces / year ⚠️ Trolli Sour Brite Crawlers: 12 pieces / year ⚠️ Jolly Ranchers (Sour Apple / Strawberry): 6 pieces / year ⚠️ Twizzlers Strawberry: 4 pieces / year ⚠️ Tootsie Roll: 8 pieces / year ⚠️ Snickers: ~2½ pieces / year ⚠️ Kit Kat: ~2½ pieces / year One box of Nerds contains 2,000–8,000 pieces.

@kareem_carr Don’t worry, the University of Austin will fill that gap soon

They nuke Harvard's funding, which everybody told them was going to lead to Chinese research dominance. China is now dominating and instead of reconsidering their terrible science policies, they're blaming it all on minorities.
These people are insane.

✅✅ A reminder by Dr. Rahaf Ajaj:
She wasn’t on the Stanford list… but she made it to the Nobel stage. 🏅
Mary E. Brunkow, one of this year’s Nobel Prize winners in Medicine, has only 34 published papers and an H-index of 21.
She never appeared in Stanford’s ranking of the world’s top 2% of scientists.
She didn’t chase citations, metrics, or the spotlight.
Yet, she became part of a discovery that changed how humanity understands the immune system.
Today, while many are busy chasing numbers, titles, and rankings —
she reminds us what truly matters in science: the question.
🔹 She wasn’t running after the lists.
🔹 She was running after the truth.
Because in the end, it’s not about how many papers you publish…
It’s about how deeply your idea can reshape the world.
Focus on your idea, not your ranking.

Cable bacteria link together (thousands of cells, end-to-end) to conduct electrons across distances up to 7 centimeters. They are living batteries.
They were discovered in Aarhus, Denmark in 2012. I visited Aarhus last year to see them in person, and wrote about it today.

Just a year ago, the U.S. was better at predicting storms’ tracks than it had ever been. But now, @ZoeSchlanger reports, the country is rapidly losing state-of-the-art forecasting, just in time for hurricane season’s busiest months: theatlantic.com/science/archiv…

New 30% mouse lifespan extension paper just dropped!
Another example of rapamycin + something increasing mouse lifespan more than rapamycin or something alone.
In this case, the something is trametinib, an anti-cancer drug:
