Drugmakers sink after key #FDA official ousted as #Trump plans *#health* overhaul
Shares of US drugmakers fell on Monday after reports that the FDA's top #vaccine official, Peter Marks, had been forced to resign, the most high-profile exit at the regulator as the Trump admin undertakes an overhaul of federal health agencies.

The CDC Buried a Measles Forecast That Stressed the Need for Vaccinations
—
The move — along with the CDC’s explanation — is a sign that the nation’s top public health agency may be falling in line under HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a longtime critic of vaccines.

Daylight savings time and myocardial infarction
source: pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/…
There was no difference in the total weekly number of PCIs performed for AMI for either the fall or spring time changes in the time period analysed. After adjustment for trend and seasonal effects, the Monday following spring time changes was associated with a 24% increase in daily AMI counts (p=0.011), and the Tuesday following fall changes was conversely associated with a 21% reduction (p=0.044). No other weekdays in the weeks following DST changes demonstrated significant associations.

Prior research has shown a transient increase in the incidence of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) after daylight savings time (DST) in the spring as well as a decrease in AMI after returning to standard time in the fall. These findings have not ...pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov

Sharing from another medium, this seems pretty useful if you are in the #USA, feel free to use and share (check all the tabs at the bottom of the website):
"I’ve been leading a project to communicate the impact of these cuts to the general public, and measure attitudes and support for science. We’ve developed a public website that aims to helps people understand these research cuts and why they are harmful.
If you are able, please help to signal boost such as by sharing on social media or with friends/family! If we can reach a broad audience, we hope that we can meaningfully shift public opinion and elevate the importance of this issue.

I look at a lot of space images, but this one made my eyes bug out like a cartoon character.
What you see here isn't a spiral galaxy, exactly. It's a spiral galaxy whose image was bent into a circle by the gravity of an elliptical galaxy visible at the center.
Warped space, right before your eyes!

I have resigned as a reviewer for the Royal Society. I encourage others to do the same.
Dear editors,
Today I saw some news about the Royal Society which made me very uncomfortable. As a result, I am afraid I will withdraw my voluntary reviewing work for Royal Society. I will not after all be completing this review for Royal Society Open Science.

Wow – didn’t think I’d be in tears today, but this message sent home from Gaia as it was shut down forever today hits hard 😭
What you’re seeing is a map of the 106 CCD detectors that Gaia used to measure the positions of billions of stars in the Milky Way for the past 11 years 🛰️✨
They were turned off in a special sequence … 😕

Wow, a stunning image by JWST of an Einstein ring, a more distant galaxy's light being bent by gravitational lensing around a much closer galaxy. The closer galaxy is an elliptical and the much more distant galaxy, which in this case is perfectly aligned behind the foreground elliptical thereby forming the ring, is a spiral galaxy. I think this beautiful image is going to be my desktop for awhile. Just stunning!

The discovery, announced Thursday, not only shows how life finds a way into nearly every corner of the world — including entombed under floating glaciers — but also provides a crucial baseline for understanding how deep-sea life may change on a warming planet.

…The scientists didn’t think much life could thrive tucked under such a thick blanket of ice.
But what the team members found under the #iceberg surprised them: giant sea spiders, octopuses, ice fish, corals & sponges, including a vase-shaped one that might be hundreds of years old. In total, the researchers believe they will be able to identify dozens of #NewSpecies from the expedition.

*DO NOT TRAVEL TO THE US!*
“‘I learned with concern that a French researcher,’ on a mission for the National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS), ‘who was going to a conference near Houston was banned from entering American territory before being expelled,’ said the Minister of Higher Education and Research, Philippe Baptiste, in a statement sent to Agence France-Presse (AFP). ‘This measure was allegedly taken by the American authorities because this researcher's phone contained exchanges with colleagues and friendly relationships in which he expressed a personal opinion on the Trump administration's research policy,’ he added.”

Etats-Unis : un chercheur français refoulé pour avoir exprimé « une opinion personnelle sur la politique menée par l’administration Trump »
Le ministre de la recherche français a dit sa « préoccupation », mercredi, après cette décision des autorités américaines.Le Monde avec AFP (Le Monde)

Acc/to another informed source of #AFP, "hate & conspiracy messages" were blamed on the French researcher by #US authorities. An #FBI investigation into him was announced, for which "the charges have been abandoned," continues this source.
…This incident comes as… #Trump has increased his shocking announcements targeting the #scientific community (brutal #BudgetCuts, #censorship of certain subjects in subsidized research...).
