Such an important piece from @drhigginsmd.bsky.social. I had similar conclusions when I looked at the Politico poll in question, but Dr. Higgins expressed it more eloquently than I ever could.
Vaccine hesitancy is not mainstream and we should not present it as such.

New paper led by @taylorblack.bsky.social shows AVT modulates aggression in darter lineages with nest site territoriality and paternal care but elicits no behavioral response in a species that secondarily lost territoriality and care www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
Cyclones “supercharged” by marine heatwaves cause more billion-dollar disasters than unenhanced ones, according to new #ScienceAdvances research. https://scim.ag/4spH2TA

These wondrous worms build their homes directly on the rocky vent chimneys where temperatures can reach up to 105 degrees Celsius (221 degrees Fahrenheit). 🔥
Pompeii worms (Alvinella pompejana) live on hydrothermal vent “chimneys,” where superheated water belches from within the Earth’s crust.

The repeated evolution of parental care is often accompanied by shifts in the neural circuits and hormonal pathways that regulate motivation and aggre…
Tropical cyclones that rapidly intensify when passing over marine heatwaves can become “supercharged”, increasing the likelihood of high economic losses
