A Few Large Creatures You Did Not Understand Where So Large Until You Saw Them To Scale:

@fasc1nate this ties into the cognitive trade-off hypothesis! the theory that humans lost this skill in exchange for complex language

@Sci_Phile PSA that pollution accounts for more deaths than murder, malnutrition, HIV, or drug and alcohol use. 90% of these deaths occur in low- and middle- income countries.

@Sci_Phile In the US, fossil-fuel caused pollution is estimated to cause 50,000 preventable deaths annually. To put this in context, there were 25,000 homicide-caused deaths in 2019. If we want to reduce crime and violence, environmental injustice should be the first target.

[UO Undergraduate Research @uoUROP]

This week we are highlighting the 2022 VPRI Undergraduate Fellowship recipients.

Meet Maili Smith, a biology major who is conducting research under the guidance of Kirstin Sterner (@KNSterner).

[UO Molecular Anthro @MolecAnth]

Congrats to @KNSterner on receiving an NIH award to investigate Molecular Signatures of Aging. Read about her ongoing research in collaboration with @Carbone_Lab here. Very exciting to see this research continue! @uoregon @UO_Research https://t.co/Pc14lL48jI

@16lava16 where is this data from??

@not_carlisle Love how the overturn of Roe is already becoming an agenda item for Democrats. "if you don't vote for us, we can't pass legislation to maintain the right to an abortion" bullshit. voting is not the answer. take to the streets & ur money to abortion funds.

[Maili Smith @Mailism1th]

@GravelInstitute True, but there’s a reason we have both the judicial and legislative branches of government. Laws are at the whim of simple (Republican) majorities. Fundamental rights ought to be protected from majority rule. But the court is so illegitimate these days what does it matter 🤷‍♀️

@Oregonian why are they built like that 😳

@mjs_DC this case is being framed as the coach's freedom of religion vs. the students' freedom from religion. these sides are not on equal footing. the coach holds power, so there is inevitably a risk of religious coercion.

@EricTopol @RoniNYTimes CRISPR is cool and all but this is not the type of scientific 'progress' we should be celebrating. Isn't there a way to revolutionize medicine without killing an animal that has the intelligence akin to a four-year old human? Or killing another living being, period?

[Maili Smith @Mailism1th]

@RBReich Just read a great NYT opinion piece about this. https://t.co/Ila17YEbL3 Our notion of freedom is directly tied to our economic tradition that praises individualism and personal utility. Vaccine (ir)responsibility does not lie w individuals but the very structure of our society

@OPB Reminder that this was only possible through ancient indigenous forest management practices like controlled burning!! Smaller prescribed burns clear out vegetation that serves as fuel & prevent more disastrous fires in the future. #landback
