mad congrats to "#KatalinKariko, who won the #Nobel Medicine Prize for work on messenger RNA (#mRNA) technology, paving the way for #COVID-19 #vaccines & told Swedish media on Monday winning felt "unbelievable".
Kariko, 68, told Swedish Radio that even though she had received recognition in recent years, she had struggled for a long time. "
this woman devoted her life to a technology many people thought was silly. so happy she is now entering into scientific legend

" 'In the North Atlantic, however, temperatures have been warmer than climate models projected. That suggests “something somewhat extraordinary may be happening there,' Dr. Hausfather said."
I DISTINCTLY REMEMBER PEOPLE ON THIS PLATFORM DISPUTING MY SAYING THE ATLANTIC WAS HOTTER THAN EVER BEFORE.🙄

I looked at the recent weather conditions in Asuncion, Paraguay... it's wild if you notice the last line of the calendar, showing that average temps around this time are 76F (24C)
--today's average high is 75C (24C)
-- photo shows a screenshot from wundergound of Asuncion's August weather. It has been as high as 95F (35C); other days at 81F (27C), 85F (29C), 90F (32C) -- none below 81F/27C - basically, WELL above avg all the time and forecast into the future.

Especially if you consider that statistically not all of those folk will actually vote. How can so few command the direction of so many??

so is the electoral colege &the way the senate is constructed.
the senate should be abolished, IMO. it's wild that states like WY get two senators while CA has 2, for example.
50 Democratic senators effectively represent 186 million Americans, while the 50 Republican senators effectively represent 145 million.
and i know republicans who claim to hate trump, but voted for him becuase they wanted republican SCOTUS picks. it's crazniess
nostr:npub19qm2trjs3p32nwqwry4ufxl4fk9q4utkq53ywueg0yk8cvggra5s79sn8k just a quibble -- about 29% of american voters identify as Republicans,
there are around 38.8 million people registered Republican, in a country of about 258.3 million adults.
you have to appreciate the level of disengagement and disenfranchisement that has plagued centrist and leftists american voters, esp if they are BIPOC
