I don’t tend to post my research here because I use this platform for personal stuff, but I’d like to share our latest paper as I feel like it might resonate with people. We looked at how the mainstream media has represented Matariki events since 2020… I’d love to hear your thoughts if you have time to read it… #academia #research #KaupapaMāori

There are a half-dozen ways or more that Trump is demonstrably hobbling cancer research.

• world-renown researchers being deported
• scientists choosing to leave
• direct cuts to #NIH, National Cancer Inst & the CDMRP (a Dept of DEF research program)
• university grant & Medicaid cuts crippling hospitals
🚨Pro-cancer moves!

Amplify the atrocities, many Americans don't understand the lethal consequences.

"A groundbreaking microscope at Harvard Medical School could lead to breakthroughs in cancer detection and research into longevity. But the scientist who developed computer scripts to read its images and unlock its full potential has been in an immigration detention center for two months — putting crucial scientific advancements at risk."

"Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome cases in England much higher than first projected"

medicalxpress.com/news/2025-04

"There are almost two-thirds more people living with ME/CFS in England than previously thought, a study says. The new estimate suggests that approximately 404,000 people are affected by ME/CFS (myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome), a 62% rise from the previously accepted figure of 250,000."

@mecfs

Professor Chris Ponting, study lead from the MRC Human Genetics Unit at the University of Edinburgh's Institute of Genetics and Cancer, said, "The NHS data shows that getting a diagnosis of ME/CFS in England is a lottery, depending on where you live and your ethnicity. There are nearly 200 GP practices—mostly in deprived areas of the country—that have no recorded ME/CFS patients at all. The data backs up what many people with ME/CFS say, that they feel invisible and ignored."

"The irony of all of this is that RFK Jr., when he took his confirmation hearing, said that he wants to focus on chronic diseases — diabetes, dementia," Nathan said, "and that's exactly what we're studying, and that's exactly what they cut out."
