Es muss jetzt etwas passieren!
Im Südosten Madagaskars behandeln wir immer mehr Kinder in lebensbedrohlichem Ernährungszustand. Die Vorräte aus der letzten Ernte sind fast aufgebraucht, die nächste steht noch aus. Ohne Gegenmaßnahmen droht eine weitere Zuspitzung.

Frauen und Mädchen sollten in öffentlichen Räumen präsent sein, neue Technologien nutzen und am Diskurs teilnehmen können ohne von geschlechtsspezifischer Gewalt betroffen zu sein, was aber nicht der Fall ist:

A bit late but favourite woman’s quote
Das liegt in der Natur der Sache, dass guter Journalismus neue Inhalte generiert, die auf Recherche und Expertise beruhen und auf einer intelligenten Einschätzung der Sachlage. Das ist so ziemlich das Gegenteil von einem autocomplete-Algorithmus, sogar wenn er den Schreibstil imitieren kann.

A health check for #kakapo chick Tiwhiri-A3 two nights ago. This is a genetically valuable (rank = gold) chick, so it gets more frequent health checks. It’s doing well. #kakapo2026 #conservation #parrots
That isn't a photo of Alice Ball. The woman pictured is Marie Maynard Daly, a biochemist, who was born 29 years AFTER Alice. Here is my 2023 NYT story about Alice Ball www.nytimes.com/2023/04/08/o...
Here is an American Chemical Society report about Marie M. Daly www.acs.org/education/wh...
African American chemist Alice Ball in her laboratory around 1915. She is wearing a white lab coat and a patterned blue scarf, holding a glass test tube and using a pipette to precisely transfer a liquid from a small vial. This scene represents her development of the "Ball Method," where she transformed thick Chaulmoogra tree oil into a soluble, injectable treatment for leprosy. The dark wooden laboratory bench is filled with period-accurate glassware, glass stir rods, and amber-colored bottles containing the raw oil. In the background, a metal centrifuge and laboratory cabinetry are visible. The image captures the specific moment Alice created the medical breakthrough that saved thousands from forced exile. Digital restoration and colorization by Seriously Scientific.
Remembering Alice Ball on International Women's Day!
At just 24, this brilliant chemist developed the first effective treatment for leprosy.
Her 'Ball Method' made Chaulmoogra oil injectable, saving thousands of people from lifelong isolation and exile. 🧪💉

Drains across the Iranian capital Tehran are continuing to explode after earlier Israeli and US strikes on oil depots and infrastructure.
Medical experts are warning the toxic smoke and runoff has increased the risk of deadly illnesses, including cancer.
The cold season is in full swing, throats are scratchy, noses are running🤧. Hopefully it’s not the flu 🤞. Scientists from our institute, @embl.org, & @pasteur.fr have deciphered the process by which the influenza virus steals the cap of the host RNA to replicate.

“My wish is that this will provide a positive message to the young girls who would like to follow the path of science and to show them that women in science can also have an impact through their research.”

I didn’t realise the Daleks were here. How would I recognise one?

I just picked up the book by @dj-acid-reflux.bsky.social from the local bookstore in Davos. Sheer anticipation!
We just had the @sib.swiss Group Leader Retreat at the Medical Campus in #Davos with fantastic scientific input talks, a snowshoe hike, and dinner at Strelaalp, as well as a tour through the research institutes #SIAF, #HGK, and Forschung II the following day.
Ahead of International Women’s Day, check out this collection on the rewards and challenges that face women in science, including news and research covering fresh approaches to women’s health, the motherhood penalty, and more.

Eine Grafik mit 9 AfD-Zitaten soll belegen, wie frauenfeindlich die rechtsextreme Partei ist. Fast alle kann man als echt belegen. Wir haben aber noch viel mehr gefunden. Teile diesen Faktencheck, denn die AfD wird nicht wollen, dass das mehr erfahren: www.volksverpetzer.de/faktencheck/...

Manche ekeln sich schon vor dem Spargel selbst. Mit der Spargelsaison kommt aber auch wieder die Zeit des Spargel-Urins 🤢 Oder etwa nicht? Denn ob ihr den charakteristischen Geruch beim Toilettengang wahrnehmen könnt, liegt in euren Genen 🧵 1/6
I guess we now live in a world where striking hospitals and healthcare has ceased to be surprising.
Well it remains shocking.

This is a very important point. The vaccines do reduce transmission.
That bears out in the data.
And it’s important to say it bc right-wing operatives like NIH Director Jay Bhattacharya use the lie that they don’t reduce transmission to support their pro-infection/herd immunity advocacy.
"Attempts to recast biological sex as a social construct, which then becomes a matter of arbitrarily chosen individual identity, are wholly ideological, scientifically inaccurate and socially irresponsible."
