Open-source surgical education has expanded access to training, but “online” does not always mean accessible. Across 137 countries using a global surgical training platform, internet connectivity varied substantially, creating barriers to participation. https://t.co/qzUp50bTVC

A reminder:

People are alive today because somebody funded science.

And while RFK Jr. continues questioning public health institutions, reality remains stubborn: medical research, public health programs, and scientific investment have saved millions of lives. You do not get breakthroughs by ignoring expertise or treating evidence like a political inconvenience.

This week, researchers announced promising results for a novel pancreatic cancer therapy that may dramatically improve survival for one of the deadliest cancers we know. These breakthroughs do not happen accidentally.

They happen because somebody invested in science long before the breakthrough happened. Science is not optional. People’s lives depend on it.

If capitalism is so great, why do corporations need tax breaks, subsidies, exemptions, grants, bailouts, legal protections, and trade barriers to survive? And when ordinary people ask for help, why is it suddenly called socialism?
