A reminder that Elsevier made $10.5 BILLION in 2022 from selling your academic journals and articles behind paywalls, and make more profit than Amazon, Google, and Apple every year…
And paid the academics who wrote the articles $0
And paid the reviewers of the articles $0
Tax base and income should not dictate proximity to food. In DC: “Of the city’s 43 full-service grocery stores, only two are located in Ward 4, four in Ward 7, and three in Ward 8. By contrast, Ward 3—the highest-income Ward—has 11 full-service stores.” https://t.co/bdWeF0d5oa
Babies who drink milk expressed during the day take longer to fall asleep if they drink it at night. Because (so interesting!) breast milk contains cortisol during the day and melatonin at night. https://t.co/CoewlYRpIJ

At White House briefing, @AshishKJha46 warns on rise of covid variants + says more $$ needed.
JHA: Some of the main tools we've had to protect the immunocompromised, like Evusheld, may not work moving forward. That's a huge challenge… [the] medicine cabinet has actually shrunk.
So again, New York Covid hospitalizations have surpassed Delta’s peak, no one is masking, there’s a Covid media blackout, and it’s only October.
Have a great day.
