Happy birthday Rosalind Franklin (1920 – 1958), #chemist & x-ray #crystallographer whose x-ray diffraction images were instrumental to discovering double-helix structure of #DNA, made important contributions to #carbon & #virus research, was 1 of the great scientists of the 20th century.⁠ ⁠ Watson’s bio lead some to (inaccurately) joke, “What did Watson and Crick discover?” “Rosalind Franklin’s notes.” While it’s important 🧵1/ #linocut #printmaking #WomenInSTEM #histsci #mastoArt #sciart⁠

While many of the #children who became ill were vulnerable to the #virus because their parents opted them out of the #measles #vaccine, local health departments have also reported several cases in babies too young for the shot & people with #health conditions that make them ineligible for the vaccine [they contract the #disease by being exposed to the dummies refusing #vaccination]. #idiocracy #Trump #RFKJr #PublicHealth #science #medicine #ConspiracyTheories #AntiVax #eugenics #disinformation

The outbreaks have taken a steep #economic toll, as #state & #local #PublicHealth departments strained to track down everyone exposed to the #virus, start #vaccination campaigns & analyze tests.

Risken att avlida är väldigt beroende av ålder med en dubbling av risken varje gång åldern ökar med 6-7 år. Det […] https://traningslara.se/hur-dodligt-ar-coronaviruset/

She has had a tougher than usual last couple of weeks, with urgent medical issues one after another. Most of the family fell to viruses, viral skin infection, child shot by a drone in their living room, and a pair of broken glasses. 7 rounds of antibiotics. Husband with sarcoma now needs $120 for pain meds. He's out.
