Link. Huge opprtunities for research.

Link. Cults are thriving again.

Link. Russia’s red team are good at being bad.

Link. Our extremely low influenza rates, if they hold, mean this may be a safer-than-usual time to be pregnant – on average. (Perhaps not for 35+ – there the morbidity curves may cross.)
