Dear Elon,
In these critical days, the people of Iran need internet access. Please help them stay connected as they struggle to reclaim their country from the rule of the mullahs. Stand with the Iranian people. Iran will not forget its friends.

[Action For Iran @Action4IR]

The Islamic Republic has cut Iran's internet, silencing voices & enabling violence.
Without connectivity, Iranians can't get evacuation alerts during these tensions.

'Public health policies and health practitioners should prioritise interventions targeting social connection among older adults with pre-frailty or frailty' #older

[Fereshteh Mehrabi @FereshteMehrabi]

We found that older adults with frailty are more likely to experience social isolation and loneliness over 18 years. However, social isolation didn’t lead to future frailty. #AgingResearch #Frailty #SocialIsolation @Age_and_Ageing
