Here's another example of overprotection in the real world: banning peanuts from schools caused kids antifragile immune systems to develop improperly, leading to peanut allergies, as @glukianoff and I wrote about. (Meanwhile no protections online)

The evidence from longitudinal studies is increasingly clear: heavy use of social media predicts later depression. We reviewed that here: https://t.co/YE8K7JsPVI and here's a new study, showing this for reading and memory, from @jasonmnagata https://t.co/PU5du7lDn8

Optimism is associated with a longer life. Stay positive.

We’ll never forget the lives we lost on September 11, 2001. Let’s continue to honor their memories, and the courage of our first responders who put themselves in harm’s way.

Today is World Suicide Prevention Day. Every life lost impacts so many. Let's break the stigma, recognize the signs, and create safe spaces for conversation. Together, we can make a difference. #WorldSuicidePreventionDay #EndTheStigma #YouAreNotAlone

@TravlingFarmer Yes! Fall back and forget about it. Ditch Daylight Saving Time. Stick to Standard Time.

Forcing people back to the office backfires. Data on >3M tech & finance workers: After return-to-office mandates, firms lose stars and struggle to attract new talent. The most likely to quit are senior, skilled, & female employees. Flexibility is a feature of a great workplace.

Happy Birthday Dolores. Hopefully you’re sharing a pot of tea with David Lynch and Ozzy on your special day. Love always, Ferg, Noel and Mike Photo : Camera Press

I'm old enough to remember when polio put my friends into iron lungs. We dutifully lined up at school to get vaccinated. We eradicated the disease. We protected the common good and saved lives. What RFK Jr. is doing to public health in America is a disgrace.

🚨 #NewPublicationAlert 🚨 Thrilled to share our lab’s first paper in #AdvancedTherapeutics @AdvPortfolio — led by Jordan! 🎉 We explored how STING agonists can boost chemo efficacy against Osteosarcoma. https://t.co/zkv6KsDl3N #OsteosarcomaResearch #ChildhoodCancerMonth🎗️

Did you know that school secretaries and caretakers aren't entitled to access pensions? They are the heart of our schools and I value their work. So, I signed the pledge to support their campaign for pensions. Will you sign too?

Great way to finish the GRC Hormone-Dependent Cancers Conference by seeing our collaboration with the Wilbert Zwart lab published in PNAS. Glad to have contributed to this work. Read the paper here:

Brain fog brought on by menopause can cause difficulties with memory, concentration and mental clarity. In @ConversationUK, Dr @Maria_Pertl and Dr @Lisamellonpsych from @RCSIPsychology outline how lifestyle medicine could help ease symptoms. Read more ⬇️

Absolutely unbelievable: the sitting HHS Secretary tried to pressure the Annals of Internal Medicine to retract the major Danish study of 1.2 M kids that found no harm from aluminum in vaccines. The journal refused. This isn’t just anti-science it is political interference.

Whatever the color and context, mitochondria are always beautiful

What a beauty of a moonrise above Dún Laoghaire Lighthouse this evening aligned from Sandymount Strand. I can officially say the curse is broken, I've finally got a shot I'm happy with of this lighthouse with the moon.
