A wildlife photographer managed to capture a rare Iberian lynx walking through the rain in a stunning moment caught on camera. ♥️

Two months after the standing ovation, Revolution Medicines' RAS inhibitor is officially FDA-approved for metastatic pancreatic cancer.

[Wafa Siddiqui @wafflessquiggly]

@lilienfeld1 @DrSamuelBHume This is not evidence of reducing metastatic cancer. These are observations from studies specific to obesity on slower progression of already existing cancers *becoming* metastatic. This is linked to obesity factors already being targeted by GLP-1 research.

[Wafa Siddiqui @wafflessquiggly]

@lilienfeld1 @DrSamuelBHume Ethics would not favor experimenting observational hypotheses on cancer patients. It is more confounding than you'd think trying to target cancer with other condition treatments. Just analyzing the effect of a glp-1 on obesity related cancers was an opportunity taken.

[Samuel Hume @DrSamuelBHume]

The head of obesity research at Eli Lilly on the focus for future medicines:

1. Even more weight loss
2. Better tolerability (especially GI)
3. More durability
4. Oral options for current injectables
5. Avoid unwanted effects (especially muscle loss)

@RizBish @NoContextHumans This is my point. They deserve a livable wage, in this country made possible for servers only via tips and $3.63/hr. It's not them we should be punishing, it's the system.

[Wafa Siddiqui @wafflessquiggly]

@RizBish @NoContextHumans She is the one doing all those things before she comes to serve you. It's part of her job. It's part of her earning her money to serve people despite the physical labor. Idk why people like to decide if servers deserve what they earn when they have never been close to that life.

@HobnobEth @RizBish @NoContextHumans I work in clinical research, I was a waitress for 10 years. I've done both ends, and I'll take the experience as a server with me throughout. It was an extremely humbling job because of this exact attitude of people to treat servers as undeserving of tips. Ignorance is ugly.

@RizBish @NoContextHumans While you're there, take the dirty dishes, run food that's sitting in the window, pull down 20lb racks of glasses so you have clean ones in time for the next refill, restock the line and make sure you don't take longer than 5 minutes to check on all your tables. Easy.

Fun fact, it’s estimated to cost between $11-$30 billion to end homelessness in America. Our lawmakers still haven’t found the funds for that but they’re funneling $75 billion to ICE’s budget.

A doctor attempted to provide medical aid to Renee Good in Minneapolis. Trump regime ICE troopers stopped him, claimed to have medics, while blocking paramedics down the road as well.

When the doctor on scene identified himself as a physician, ICE responded:

"I don't care."
