We must always remember that nature is very forgiving. If we give nature a chance, it will bounce back. And when we give nature a chance, we give #HumanHealth a chance. We give peace and prosperity a chance. We give people everywhere a chance.

State Sen. Nathan Dahm (R-OK) has penned several bills loosening gun restrictions, including the nation’s first anti-red flag law. He thinks these bills protect the Second Amendment – and that they make us safer. We think it's probably one or the other. Watch it on @AppleTVPlus.

So...the DOE decided that SARS-CoV-2 originated with a "lab leak."
The available evidence shows overwhelmingly that the pandemic started at Huanan market via zoonosis.
But affirmative evidence of lab origin could change my view. What kind of evidence? 🧵

My condolences to the family of Ranger PascalFatakanwel. Rangers ( men and women) are in the frontline of conservation action @ursa4rangers . Without them there is not way we can protect and restore nature!
Another ranger lost his life in line of duty in the @gorillacd early this morning. RIP ranger Pascal Fatakanwe! Conservation is one of the most dangerous jobs in the #DRCongo !

👇🏽1) Lack of faith in institutions to do the right thing, 2) feeling like we are enabling their offenses, and 3) repeated moral injury. So much bigger than “burnout,” a term which implicates the individual doc over the system.
Why are doctors quitting? @_Eric_Reinhart argues it’s a loss of faith. “What has been identified as occupational burnout is a symptom of a deeper collapse. We are witnessing the slow death of American medical ideology,” he says. nyti.ms/3YHBiX9

So proud of Bobbi. We were able to turn a horrible event into a celebration of her brilliance! Thank you @nytimes for writing such a wonderful piece. Not only do we need to view Black children as children, but we need to love & nurture them!❤️

Somewhere, very near you, is a tiny being, just going about their day.
They don’t care about you, or me, nor any of our worries.
And I find so much comfort in that 💚🐌

The UAE chose an oil company head to lead the COP28 climate talks it will host in Dubai later this year. The fox is not only in the henhouse, the fox is in charge of the henhouse. This is alarming news for global climate action cnb.cx/3IJ1hZw

A tale of vaccine inequity.
Testing vaccines in low-income communities but not making them available is unethical.
In 2017, JYNNEOS studied the safety & effectiveness of its monkeypox vaccine among health workers in the DRC.
Results are not yet available — nor is the vaccine.
