The U.S. and Canada appear to have put a new block in place that prohibits buying PlusLife kits or test strips. It’s absolutely appalling that we’re in year six of COVID and it’s still this hard to access the tools people need to keep themselves & their families safe. Next best alternative?

Hey boomers. We got MMR vaccines as children because they were miracles. Some of that immunity has lapsed. Consider getting a "titer" to test your immunity, and if it's weak or gone, get an MMR booster. Because measles (and more) is coming back if RFKJr. cripples vaccine programs, as he's doing...

When it comes to boycotting, just a thought. It’s okay if you can’t quit a company cold turkey. In Master Gardeners, when we encourage people to switch to native plants, the goal is 70% native, not 100%. If you were shopping at a store 80% of the time and cut it back to 60%, that 20% still hurts.

THIS IS HUGE! A cancer vaccine developed by Yale University and DFCI shows MAJOR promise. Results of an early-phase trial reveal ALL patients with ADVANCED stage kidney cancer had successful anti-cancer immune responses AND have remained CANCER-FREE approximately THREE years after treatment. 🧪🧵⬇️

We do not have to agree on how liberty is attained on all points. But we do have to agree that liberty is not actually liberty unless it's for everyone and doesn't leave vulnerable people behind.

I made some seed ice cubes for cold stratification 🌱. As soon as the snow melts outside, I will push the cubes into the garden soil. I’m doing this for Echinacea and poppies. #garden #gardening #zone5b

This study underscores the importance of ruling out other conditions before giving a #MyalgicEncephalomyelitis diagnosis. This study used the Canadian consensus criteria. I have had vit D deficiency. Getting that addressed improved several symptoms but did not touch the underlying ME.

Hey, artists, in case you were wondering if your work matters: I'm a scientist working on climate change and biodiversity, and I would not be who I am today without The Lorax, The Secret of NIMH, Watership Down, The Last Unicorn, and The X-Files. I know I'm not alone. Thank you for all you do.

Congress will be deciding in the next few weeks on whether to extend Medicare coverage for telehealth beyond the current March 31 deadline. Fortunately it has widespread bipartisan support and it will hopefully escape current budget cuts as it saves money. Medsky www.politico.com/newsletters/...

NIH recently found 1 in 22 ppl who’d had Covid developed ME/CFS. The “mild” form of that disease, as @julialmv.bsky.social’s graph shows, means losing capacity to do 50% of your daily activities. What would you give up? Friends? Time w/your kids? Could you cut work hours in half w/o losing yr job?

I'm enjoying the changeable weather, sun one minute, driving rain the next, completely still and then wind lashing the trees. It's so beautiful outside.

Cork is a truly renewable material: it's harvested from the bark of oak trees (Quercus suber) from some Mediterranean countries and can regrow many times over the long lifetime of the trees. It makes excellent insulation! www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Portland has released a new draft of its urban forest plan which is much improved. It will increase tree cover in underserved areas & the city will pay for maintenance of street trees, easing the burden on low-income residents. Comment until April 13 at portland.gov/trees/portla...

I highly recommend entering this week by muting a few choice or upsetting words (or names) even if for a short period to try it out. I guarantee you will see any vital news about those words elsewhere so you won't "miss out" -- you'll just have one less digital hangout spot to add to your overwhelm.
