Health Care 2
Overall, the scientific evidence finds that Medicaid does improve health. There was a literature that found this, then the Oregon study found that it didn’t! But then with the ACA, some people were randomly sent a reminder to sign up for Medicaid, and those that got the letter, signed up more, and they had better health outcomes. The Oregon study followed people for too short of time and the sample was too small.

A MAGA Victory in Texas, and the Trump Administration’s New Ebola Plan
When the Trump administration temporarily cuts certain science funding, some studies can’t just start up again. They require specialized people, equipment, and biological specimens, and those can’t just wait for funding to return. Our knowledge about the world, and the medical benefits some of this knowledge would have led to, have been hurt by these shortsighted actions.

The “Crisis” in (Fundamental) Physics Explained | Sean Carroll
Being a heretic is hard. It’s easy to be irreverent and to go against currently favored theories, but it’s hard to do it well. You don’t get serious points by saying Einstein is wrong and then making some crappy argument against him, even if the argument is rhetorically strong. You get serious points for doing the theoretical and empirical homework that actually shows Einstein is wrong.
Time and energy in our finite lives are limited. If you want someone to take the time to read and understand your radical theory, you’ve got to do the homework to understand the currently favored theories and why they are favored. If you haven’t done the hard homework, then your theory is probably wrong.

Disarming Climate Change Denial Tropes (Featuring Peter Hadfield aka Potholer54)
Human-caused climate change has been studied for many decades, and the common sense alternative explanations have already been studied and don’t explain the warming.

Americans are eating up the meat industry’s health claims
“Meat is indeed packed with protein, but it comes with some well-established health drawbacks.
“Saturated fat we’ve known about for decades,” said Dr. Sarah C. Hull, a cardiologist at Yale Medicine. It’s common in red meat and contributes to increasing LDL cholesterol levels, hardening the blood vessels and, in turn, raising the risk of heart attack or stroke.
Moreover, “all mammalian meat tends to be very inflammatory,” said Hull, who studies the diet-related risks of heart disease and cancer. “More recently we’ve come to understand that the many pro-inflammatory compounds found in red meat” can have other downsides, she said, including “deleterious interactions with the gut microbiome.” Studies have also linked the risks of certain cancers and Type 2 diabetes to heme iron, a form of the mineral that’s found only in animal tissue and is more easily absorbed than the iron in plants.”

Today’s Mission to the Moon
The goal of today’s moon mission is to send astronauts around the moon and have them return alive. It’s a test of life support systems. The long-term plan is to build a moon base where we can mine moon materials, advance science, and test things for Mars missions.
