@samobezstressa Kad na treningu o prepoznavanju nasilja nad decom prvo naucis 'ako je dete zlostavljano ili namerno povredjeno ko su najverovatniji pocinioci -odgovor: roditelji' - onda se shvatanje menja. Sa doooobrim razlogom neki okrecu ledja zauvek cesto naizgled divnim uglednim porodicama

@UniteorDie1918 @milos_gis And lack of medical services, especially in regional parts, unavailable cancer screening and quick medical response in suspected CVE

Woolworths has announced it will move hundreds of HR, IT and finance jobs offshore to Asia and India.

They rake in over a billion dollars in profits annually from Australian shoppers, yet still send our jobs overseas.

How greedy can a company be?

@ShangTsAoC 'Kad krenes srusi mostove,
obrisi tragove,
meni pjesma ostaje
da me smiruje,
ne bih ti rekao volim te,
ne bih ni probao,
ne bih ti rekao vrati se,
samo cuvaj se'

@Rainmaker1973 Why don't we learn more about these people in school and other sources, this is the first time I hear about this incredible woman and achievement

Wrong.

I have four degrees, and going to college and graduate school was possibly the biggest mistake of my life.

My two undergraduate degrees: neurobiology and anthropology -- and a few courses away from a third in philosophy.

My two graduate: MS in immunology, PhD in cell and molecular biology.

I've also had spoken proficiency in three languages and been able to read in 5.

The rot and incompetence in universities go far beyond what you can imagine.

Unethical behavior is for many people a requirement for career advancement.

Radical political beliefs are a major selection filter.

Conservatives, whites, and men are discriminated against.

Most published literature is of exceedingly low quality, and this is so normalized, you are punished for not participating in the rot.

The most capable people do not stay in universities; that is a thing of the past. Today, they leave. Fast.

If I could do everything over again, I would not have become "educated".

[Mr PitBull Stories @MrPitbull07]

In 1937, a nineteen year old woman graduated summa cum laude in chemistry. She applied to fifteen graduate schools. Not one offered her funding.

She was told laboratories did not hire women. She never earned a PhD. She later received the Nobel Prize and helped save millions of lives.

Her name was Gertrude Belle Elion.

Born in New York City in 1918 to immigrant parents, Gertrude was brilliant from childhood. She skipped two grades, graduated high school at fifteen, and entered Hunter College during the Great Depression. Her family could only afford college because Hunter offered free tuition to women.

Then tragedy changed her life forever.

When Gertrude was fifteen, her beloved grandfather died painfully from stomach cancer. Watching doctors fail to save him gave her a purpose she never abandoned. She decided she wanted to fight disease through science.

She graduated from Hunter College in 1937 at just nineteen years old, but the scientific world had little interest in hiring women. Graduate schools rejected her requests for funding. Laboratories turned her away. Some employers openly admitted they did not want female chemists.

So she worked wherever she could while studying at night.

Everything changed in 1944 when she joined Burroughs Wellcome and began working with scientist George Hitchings. Together, they pioneered a revolutionary method called rational drug design — creating medicines by understanding disease at the molecular level instead of relying on trial and error.

Their discoveries transformed medicine.

Elion helped develop 6-mercaptopurine, one of the first successful treatments for childhood leukemia. Before it existed, most children diagnosed with leukemia died within months.

She later helped create azathioprine, the first major drug that made organ transplantation possible, along with groundbreaking antiviral medications that changed treatment for herpes and helped pave the way for AIDS therapies.

In 1988, Gertrude Elion received the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.

She was seventy years old.

And she still did not have a PhD.

The young woman fifteen schools rejected ended up reshaping modern medicine anyway.

@csuka_jasna @marijamaja2112 'Pa sta?' nije izgovor za ovako ozbiljan incident, narocito za ljude koji dolaze umorni sa dugih prekookeanskih letova i turisti kojima ovo treba da bude prvi utisak/dozivljaj,
na stranu sto mnogi u prtljagu nose lekove i druge esencijalne stvari koje su sad neupotrebljive.
