A man spends 50 years teaching at MIT.

He knows his time is running out.

So he records one last lecture — everything he knows, distilled into a single hour.

He died 5 months later.

This is that lecture.

The most important hour you'll watch this week. 👇

Today marks 15 years since the catastrophic EF5 tornado in Joplin, Missouri.

Watch this intense moment as news station KSN spots the monster tornado on their tower cam, and urges viewers to take cover.

[Nick Krasznavolgyi @NickKrasz_Wx]

On this day in 2011:

An incredibly devastating EF5 tornado tore through the heavily populated city of Joplin, Missouri, causing catastrophic damage across the community. Thousands of homes and structures were destroyed, including severe damage to a hospital. A total of 158 people were killed.

🚨 INSANE: Video of the tornado that SLAMMED into Vance Air Force Base in Enid, OK filmed from an airliner at 30,000 feet

Search and rescue operations still underway.

This is major.

Praying our airmen were out of harms way.

Is coffee helping or harming our patients’ hearts? In the latest episode of the Beyond Journal Club podcast from @COREIMpodcast and NEJM Group, the hosts unpack the CRAVE trial and use it as a lens to answer a bigger question: How should clinicians interpret nutrition research, especially when it feels inconsistent or hard to trust?

Listen to the full episode for a concise, practical framework you can use the next time a patient asks about coffee, diet, or lifestyle: https://t.co/971hYwU18k

The “Christians are anti-science rubes” line is getting old.

And it just got blown out of the sky, literally.

Meet Victor Glover, pilot of Artemis II.
This dedicated man of faith just completed the first crewed mission around the Moon since 1972.

While looking back at the Earth from deep space, he didn’t have a crisis of faith. He said the view reinforced his belief in creation.

And he’s not new to this. Glover has already taken communion cups and a Bible into space on previous missions. He’s been open about his faith the entire time.

He’s not the first either.

Back in 1968, the Apollo 8 crew, the first humans to leave Earth orbit and circle the Moon, read from the book of Genesis on live television on Christmas Eve.

“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth…”

Millions heard it. The world didn’t collapse. Science didn’t shatter. The mission succeeded.

Funny how the guys literally orbiting the Moon never got the “faith equals dumb” memo.

Real faith lasts under pressure while the “Christians are anti-science” stereotype crumbles.

The same people who mock believers as backward rubes have no answer for the long line of men and women of faith who have pushed the frontiers of science and exploration precisely because they believed the universe was orderly, intelligible, and created by a rational God.

From the Apollo 8 crew reading Genesis to Victor Glover carrying Scripture and communion into lunar orbit, the pattern is clear.

The more some people see of the cosmos, the more convinced they become that it didn’t just happen by accident.

This is what real faith looks like.
Not the version that hides from hard questions or fears the data.

The version that looks at the Earth from 240,000 miles away and sees the hand of the Creator even more clearly.

The version that carries a Bible into space because the same God who hung the stars is the same God who hung on the cross.

To every atheist who loves to trot out the “anti-science” insult. The evidence keeps stacking up against you. The men and women who have actually left the planet and looked back don’t seem to agree with your narrative.

And to every believer who’s ever been mocked for holding both faith and reason, keep going. Keep exploring. Keep speaking truth when they ask.

The King who set the stars in place is the same King who rose from the grave.
He is risen.
He is risen indeed.

All glory to the King who made the heavens and the earth, and who still calls men and women of faith to the very edge of it.

This one really gets me. 📷❤️

Not just because of the view, though obviously... come on. Earth hanging above the lunar surface is the kind of perspective that makes you stop for a second and just take it in.

But as a photographer, I love the composition here too. The balance, the spacing, the way the Moon fills the frame without overpowering it, and then that small, bright Earth suspended in all that negative space. It feels simple at first, then the longer you look, the more it pulls you in.

And that’s the part I can’t shake. This is real. This is a human view now.

I really hope we get more images like this from Artemis II, and if I’m being extra nerdy, I’d love to see the RAW files one day too. Photographers can dream, right? I’d love to see just how much more detail is hiding in frames like this.

Mostly though, I hope this is a glimpse of what more people get to experience in the future. Because if one image can make Earth feel this beautiful, this distant, and this fragile all at once, imagine what it must feel like to see it with your own eyes. 👀

Peripheral vasopressor administration in critically ill adults was associated with a low incidence of adverse events—major events were rare using short peripheral intravenous catheters, and use avoided central venous catheter placement in 60% of cases.

@22liv22 @unhealthytruth @DrLizaMD All hospitals received government “covid” money. This was not passed on to us physician providers nor to any physicians i know.

[Beau Bledsoe @91bbledagdude]

@unhealthytruth Most of my patients died from respiratory failure (they could not breathe),despite Oxygen deliver by nasal cannula or cpap/bipap or mechanical ventilation.

[Beau Bledsoe @91bbledagdude]

@22liv22 @unhealthytruth @DrLizaMD Of course i did not. That is the most silly fairy tale of all coming out of all the covid fairy tales spouted as fact on social media by “influencers.”

[Beau Bledsoe @91bbledagdude]

@unhealthytruth @DrLizaMD Well i took the shots and every physician i know did as well and we are doing just fine now. Nobody i know who was fully vaccinated died so there is that.
