Let's turn those lights off at night to help the migrating birds and make sure your feeders are full.

Wow! The night just started and already Doppler radars are lighting up. 368 million birds are estimated to be in flight right now.

Ask a pediatrician which Children's Hospitals are tops and CHOP is in the top 5 of all the lists. We are very lucky so many smart docs are part of this misinformation tracker. Make sure to bookmark it as misinformation unfortunately seems to be hitting the airwaves daily.

For all the band kids and band families out there ❤️❤️❤️

Remember: You're never too old to follow your dreams 🥹

LSU's 66-year-old freshman band member Kent Broussard is the perfect example of that. After retiring two years ago, Broussard set out to join LSU's band - a lifelong dream of his since he saw the Tiger Marching Band in person years ago.

Kent became an accountant and started a family, thinking he probably would never get to live out his lifelong dream.. until he retired and decided now was the perfect time!

Broussard had forgotten everything about playing the tuba after learning many years ago and trained for his audition, competing with those who are 40 years younger than he is. He didn't expect to make the cut, but he ended up getting through, and now he's the oldest member of the LSU band by 41 years 😅

When asked about the process, Kent said "The only thing you can do is fail. Your only failure is not trying." - and he's absolutely right 🙌

Sigh. Nope. Wish we didn't have to keep posting this stuff counteracting the "news" coming out of HHS and we could return to our regular pediatric info.

Also Folic Acid: it's in those prenatal vitamins you take to help avoid neural tube defects when you're pregnant and in many of the grains we eat.

This nationwide cohort study with sibling control analysis examines the association of acetaminophen use during pregnancy with children’s risk of autism, ADHD, and intellectual disability.

Good update on all the diseases on the upswing across the US (yep, kids are back to school...) and why keeping those check ups and vaccines on schedule are so important.

So much of public health is protecting our communities and especially our most at risk populations. Great group of slides on why fluoride is so important and another plug for unbiasedscipod. Such excellent content here! Check them out.

amazing. Ask your parents and grandparents what their grandparents lives were like this week. My grandma was a smart and funny flapper (their wedding photo looks like Bonnie and Clyde!) and my grandfather survived "the death room" after having a perforated appendix in the days before antibiotics. My other grandfather missed WW1 thanks to a village priest that fudged his birthday so he could leave town and head to Canada!

On the day of Albert Einstein’s death, instead of going to Princeton hospital like other reporters, a photographer named Ralph Morse went to Einstein’s office and bribed the superintendent with a fifth of scotch to let him in. He then took these photos of Einstein’s desk mere hours after he died.

Albert Einstein died on April 18, 1955, at the age of 76. As news spread, journalists and photographers hurried to the Princeton Hospital where he had spent his final hours. But Life magazine photographer Ralph Morse thought differently. Rather than joining the crowd, he realized that Einstein’s office at Princeton University might hold a more meaningful glimpse into the scientist’s life. With a quick bribe of a bottle of scotch to the building’s superintendent, Morse gained entry and captured hauntingly intimate photographs of Einstein’s cluttered desk, shelves, and chalkboard, frozen in time only hours after the physicist’s death.

The desk was piled high with papers, journals, and notes, an image of a mind still at work. The blackboard, filled with equations, showed Einstein wrestling with his final problems. These photos became iconic not only for their historical significance but also for their poignancy, reminding the world that genius itself is often born from chaos.

Fun fact: Einstein once said, “If a cluttered desk is a sign of a cluttered mind, of what, then, is an empty desk a sign?” making this photograph of his workspace all the more fitting as his final portrait.
