Retatrutide, a triple receptor drug for GLP-1, GIP, and glucagon, is the most powerful weight loss drug yet. A significant issue is too much weight loss among the trial participants. New randomized trial results announced today with 28% body weight loss.

يجد كثيرون في جنوب لبنان وغزة وقبلها في سوريا أنفسهم أمام حقيقة مرة بعد خسارة منازلهم بسبب القصف والحرب.
في جنوب لبنان يعيش هذا الألم آلاف الجنوبيين الذين جرفت اسرائيل قراهم وبيوتهم ودمرتها بقصف عنيف.

سعد الزين، يروي لـ"درج" كيف تحوّل منزله في قرية كفر رمان جنوب لبنان، إلى ركام بعدما دمرته إسرائيل. خسارة البيت بالنسبة إليه لم تكن خسارة حجارة فقط وتراث عائلة يعود لنحو قرن، بل هو ايضاً خسارة ذاكرة كاملة: رسائل بخط اليد، صور الأهل، وبركة صغيرة لعب حولها ثلاثة أجيال.

"قصة بيت" سلسلة توثّق حكايات أشخاص فقدوا منازلهم واقتُلعت ذكرياتهم من الجدران تحت وطأة الحروب القائمة في الشرق الأوسط، من غزة إلى لبنان وسوريا.

“Story of a Home” is a series documenting the stories of people who lost their homes and watched their memories be torn from the walls under the weight of the ongoing wars across the Middle East, from Gaza to Lebanon and Syria.

In this episode of “Story of a Home,” Saad El Zein recounts how his house in the southern Lebanese town of Kfarraman was reduced to rubble after being destroyed by Israel.

For him, losing the house was not only the loss of stone walls or family heritage, but the loss of an entire memory archive: handwritten letters, family photographs, and a small pond where three generations once played.

Can't stop thinking about Elon Musk, the wealthiest man alive worth $828 billion, spending $290 million to elect Trump, becoming $563 billion richer since Trump was elected and ending humanitarian aid that will lead to the deaths of 4.5 million of the poorest kids on the planet.

Physician-scientist pipeline is a retention problem, not a recruitment problem. We lose people in years 5–6 when revisions stack and RVUs absorb protected time. This month's JCI editorial names the connective tissue departments don't fund. https://t.co/DqHaZ7kNZU

One of my NIH grant reviews came back last year with comments clearly LLM-generated. The PMIDs cited against the proposal were hallucinated. The papers did not exist. The score still counted toward the funding decision.

American public schools’ overreliance on YouTube for educational content runs counter to what is clear in several scientific studies: Learning analog is better than digital. https://t.co/T7bZRP2fDx 🧵
