1/ What determines the length of gestation?

My graduate work out today in @CellCellPress revealed that the answer to this mystery may lie in a molecular timer set in motion just days after conception.

A team of data analysts has found the presence of Black primary care docs in a county, even a single one, means Black residents in that county live longer. Even veteran researchers call the finding stunning https://t.co/gt4pIe11Dt

Diversifying the police force doesn’t end racism because racism is inherent to the organization of the institution & its daily operation. Racism is what policing is

Keenan Anderson—a 31-year-old high school teacher & father—stopped LA police for help after an accident. They instead cuffed him, pinned him, & tased him repeatedly as he begged them to stop.

Keenan died of cardiac arrest from excessive tasing.

His crime—asking police for help.

Do NOT watch Avatar: The Way of Water

Join Natives & other Indigenous groups around the world in boycotting this horrible & racist film. Our cultures were appropriated in a harmful manner to satisfy some 🏳 man's savior complex.

Let's be clear. Eli Lilly should apologize for increasing the price of insulin by over 1,200% since 1996 to $275 while it costs less than $10 to manufacture. The inventors of insulin sold their patents in 1923 for $1 to save lives, not to make Eli Lilly's CEO obscenely rich.

A study out earlier this year suggested that Medicaid expansions led to reduced police arrests, particularly drug-related arrests. Per the authors, "greater insurance coverage creates new avenues for individuals to seek care, receive treatment, and avoid criminalization."

In Muslim countries, tea is more than just a hot drink. It is very important to the heritage, traditions and cultures in which it originates.

To start the weekend, we celebrate the art of tea, with 24 different types of tea from across the Muslim world…

A thread…

this should be as big of news as the notre dame fire imo. polynesian history is incredibly rich and the people of rapa nui were the most skilled sailors/explorers ever (yes, ever!). this history is important and deserves all our preservation efforts. they’ve already lost so much.

we cannot stop amplifying these stories, it really is imperative for Iranians to continue to pressure major media organizations to report on Iran beyond tweets and Instagram posts
