In 2024, four women held four-star ranks in the military — the highest levels of the armed forces. Only 10 women have held the highest rank in their military branches in history. Now, there are none. Of the four women, two of them retired and two were ousted. bit.ly/4i1EWUO

This important story is getting so little attention. It matters for these scientists, trainees, colleagues across the county, scientific supply and equipment companies, clinical partners, bio and tech companies. www.columbiaspectator.com/news/2025/03...

🔥🔥A 2021 study found that Medicaid expansion as part of the ACA led to a substantial reduction in mortality, primarily driven by reductions in disease-related deaths. A 2018 study in the Journal of Political Economy found that, Medicaid reduced infant and child mortality since the 1960s and 1970s.🔥🔥

Dr Oz, Trump's new CMS boss, during height of covid: "Schools are a very appetizing opportunity. I just saw a nice piece in The Lancet arguing the opening of schools may only cost us 3% in terms of total mortality. Any life lost is a life lost, but that might be a tradeoff some folks would consider"
