Judge Burroughs said relatively little during Mr. Lehotsky’s presentations, resting her chin on her right hand, her fingers usually covering her mouth. But she often lowered her hand when Mr. Velchik was before her.

“Let’s assume for the sake of argument that #Harvard has not covered itself in glory on the topic of antisemitism,” she said, noting her own Jewish faith. What, she asked, was the relationship between antisemitism & cutting off, for instance, #cancer #research #funding?

Research at #UCSF linking #cancer medicines with positive effects on Alzheimer's-damaged glia cells. Funded by #NIH and #NSF. The writers, implementors, and supporters of #Project2025 have lost access to these drugs that might mitigate the suffering that comes with these #diseases. Too bad, they've limited our access, too. A pox on them.

#Area51 #cancer #veterans

"A group of US Air Force veterans has gone public with their story about how an 'invisible enemy' at the top-secret base Area 51 left them with cancer.

The former security guards at the Nevada Test and Training Range (NTTR), a classified site that houses Area 51, have claimed that the US government betrayed them and essentially handed them a death sentence without their knowledge.

Their claims stemmed from the revelation that NTTR was built in the 1970s on an area of land that was found to be contaminated with radiation from years of nuclear testing in the area.

However, that 1975 report from the US Energy Research and Development Administration also said it would 'be against the national interest' to stop the military's secret projects at the site.

David Crete, a former Air Force Sergeant who worked at NTTR from 1983 through 1987, said that over 490 of his fellow workers have died of severe illnesses since being stationed at the secret facility.

Making matters worse, the US Department of Veterans Affairs has refused to cover their medical care because none of the surviving veterans can prove they were exposed to radiation near Area 51.

That's because their work was so top secret, all records of their activities have been marked as 'data masked.'

'I have brain atrophy. The left side of my brain is shrinking and dying. That's not too bad. I'm one of the healthy ones,' Crete told the House Veterans Affairs Committee in April while lobbying for legislation to support the Area 51 veterans."

I love the title of this show “Wear Whatever The F You Want“!

There is an episode with a Black breast cancer survivor. I like that they mentioned the scar/s of the mastectomy/ies, that’s something often mentioned on the support groups. What/how to wear after is so important. And seeing her sister (BC is common in her family) wearing compression garments because of lymphodoema was powerful!

I haven’t figured it yet being autistic is not helping to change clothing + lymphodoema neither + an unilateral mastectomy. One day maybe.

CBCStacy and Clinton are back, but with less judgment, so What Not to Wear fans can finally heal | CBC NewsA decade after TLC's What Not To Wear ended, hosts Clinton Kelly and Stacy London have announced they're reuniting for a new streaming series called Wear Whatever The F You Want, which some might interpret as a mea culpa for the shame culture we endured in the early 2000s.

tweaking the structure of the…lipid #nanoparticles (LNPs) that deliver #mRNA, not only reduces inflammation but also boosts #vaccine effectiveness for preventing or treating a range of diseases, from #COVID19 to #cancer.

The key change? Adding #phenol groups, chemical compounds with anti-inflammatory properties famously found in foods like olive oil.

"By essentially changing the recipe for these lipids, we were able to make them work better with fewer side effects."

Relief on the way for millions of women worldwide?

I know this is something that was a talking point for my wife: the hated vaginal speculum!

It looks like someone—two non-male someones, in this case—is doing something about it.

>In the Netherlands, two engineers set out to design a painless and sustainable alternative to the vaginal speculum, an instrument used worldwide for essential gynecological exams. For many people, inserting this tool can be uncomfortable, even painful, and often causes apprehension.
>The fourth most common cancer in women, according to the World Health Organization , cervical cancer can be detected by a Pap smear or a human papillomavirus test, both performed using a speculum.
>With funding to allow the successful development of this new gynecology tool, lilium could save lives within five years.

They crowd-funded over €100,000 in 2 days! More power, and all of the success, to them.
