@BhattiLaib9960 Subtotal is 24.47 instead of 34.47

@eurofounder Why is it racist to describe the attacker based on their ethnicity when you actually saw it? It is racist to ASSUME someone was the attacker based on ethnicity, but if you saw them, you’re just describing someone who committed a crime

Stepping into a new year, it’s hard to ignore how fast the world is changing. With 2026 on the horizon, so much feels uncertain. But while we can’t control everything, we can control how we respond—grounded, human, and resilient. Here’s to better days ahead. Happy New Year.

@SimoPillon le leggi anti-abortiste non tutelano la salute delle donne e dei bimbi. In Europa la mortalità materna è 3–4 su 100.000, negli USA oltre 18–19. Negli stati con i divieti il rischio raddoppia e cresce anche la mortalità infantile. Ma continui pure a parlare di ciò che non capisce.

A bit of inspiration from a holiday wishes email: Most importantly, our morale remains strong. I often think Churchill may have been thinking of science when he said, ‘Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm’—there is much to think about there

My hometown, Torino (Italy), has one of my favorite traditions: every first Sunday of Dec, thousands gather in front of the children’s hospital dressed as Santa. This year, more than 40,000 Santas filled the streets. Pure magic for the kids at the windows.

@edorixi Precisazione importante che sfugge ai più: i bambini non sono stati “strappati” alla famiglia.
Sono stati messi in protezione ASSIEME alla madre, attualmente in valutazione, come previsto in molti casi analoghi.
È una misura temporanea e cautelativa, non una sottrazione forzata.

Turns out juggling three languages might be keeping me young. 👀
Fascinating paper in Nature Aging on how multilingualism protects against accelerated aging.

[Agustin Ibañez @AgustinMIbanez]

Living in multilingual societies is associated with slower aging. Out today in @NatureAging, we tested the dose–effect of multilingualism across 27 countries and over 86,000 participants. Congrats to @lulaamour @HernHdezL & coauthors! https://t.co/bBYh4TIxjk 🧵 (1/4). @BrainlatUAI @ReDLat_Dementia @LACCD9

[The Nobel Prize @NobelPrize]

Remembering the first woman to be awarded a Nobel Prize, the first individual to be awarded two Nobel Prizes and still today the only individual with two Nobel Prizes in two different scientific categories: Marie Skłodowska Curie.

Curie was born #OnThisDay in 1867.

James Watson, who co-discovered DNA, has died. Today, however, I celebrate Rosalind Franklin, whose X-ray images revealed its secrets. His fame came at the cost of her recognition—to me, her legacy is what truly defines science.

A week late, but still buzzing from #ECTRIMS — science, connections, and caffeine in equal measure ⚡☕

"I am a man. See me as a human being—not a birth defect, not a syndrome. I don’t need to be eradicated."

Frank Stephens pleads for the humanization of people with Down syndrome, studies suggest 67-90% are aborted in the United States due to faulty prenatal screenings.
