SCIENCE under attack by libtards as physics professor may get fired for daring to say physics isn’t sexist

October 10, 2018 -

Alessandro Strumia boldly and unequivocally stated that "cultural Marxism" is responsible for pushing this ridiculous feminist propaganda, highlighting the fact that common leftist buzzwords like "microaggression," "gaslighting," and "mansplaining" are perpetuating the lie that men are somehow "mobilizing their masculinity" to keep women from achieving scientific success.

Entitled, "High Energy Theory and Gender," Strumia's lecture, which took place at the European ...

Fears of more regional bank failures grow as Moody’s cuts New York Community Bancorp’s credit rating to junk status

February 11, 2024 -

According to Moody’s, the downgrade was prompted by the news that the bank experienced a surprisingly high loss on exposure to the commercial real estate market, which it focuses on heavily and is currently not faring well. It also cut its dividend in order to adhere to tougher regulatory requirements.

Moody’s highlighted the fact that one third of the bank’s deposits are currently uninsured and "could face significant funding and liquidity pressure if there is a loss ...

Light pollution found to disrupt natural balance between insects and predators, impacting ecosystem health

October 30, 2017 -

Artificial night-time lighting is increasing at approximately three to six percent a year worldwide. This has profound effects on the aquatic ecosystems such as rivers and lakes that are heavily interconnected with the ecosystems of their banks and shores. As flying insects gather around the artificial lights, the predatory communities on the ground are left with a scarce food source.

“Artificial lighting at night-time is a major component of global environmental change ...

Can the common cold help fight SARS-CoV-2?

September 29, 2020 -

At the center of the immune system's ability to be trained are T cells, which are specialized white blood cells that seek out and destroy pathogens. Multiple studies have shown that up to 50 percent of uninfected people in some places have T cells that can identify SARS-CoV-2. This may explain why some people have milder infections compared to others; however, the authors note that their findings are "highly speculative" at best, and will need more research to confirm. For ...

Dr. Richard Fleming talks about innate immunity and COVID-19 vaccines – Brighteon.TV

October 06, 2021 -

Innate immunity is the body's first line of defense against pathogens. It involves barriers that keep harmful materials from entering your body. These barriers form the first line of defense in the immune response. "Don't we have to actually use the immune system like it's designed?" Fleming asks.

He explains that the vaccines do not actually help people by blunting and reprogramming the immune system.

"These vaccines that are being used have done something that ...

Italian vineyards turning to robots and automation to fulfill harvest needs as labor shortage worsens

October 05, 2021 -

Many sectors of the Italian economy have increasingly turned to automation due to the labor shortage. This includes much of the country's agricultural industry, which can no longer rely on seasonal workers for labor. As a result, the harvesting of some crops like soybeans and corn is now heavily automated.

The Italian wine industry has resisted automation for the longest time due to concerns that automated harvesting is more likely to damage the grapes. That might affect ...

Immunity to the coronavirus lasts at least 8 months after infection, study says

April 06, 2021 -

"There was a lot of concern originally that this virus might not induce much memory," Shane Crotty, an infectious disease professor at the University of California, San Diego and one of the study researchers, told MIT Review. "Instead, the immune memory looks quite good."How survivors develop long-term immunity to coronavirus

According to the National Institutes of Health, the immune system remembers a virus after a person gets infected with it. Immune cells and proteins ...

Amazing aquatic life: Blue-banded sea snakes “breathe” through their heads

August 26, 2020 -

Blue-banded sea snakes (Hydrophis cyanocinctus) are aquatic reptiles that can reach up to around 5 feet or 1.5 meters in length. Endemic to the tropical waters near the coasts and coral reefs of Southeast Asia, they are known for their paddle-like tails and for preying on small crustaceans and fish.

According to lead researcher Alessandro Palci, a biologist at Flinders University, blue-banded sea snakes can actually breathe underwater for a limited time by using a network ...

If you’ve ever had a cold, your immune system may already know how to fight COVID-19

August 14, 2020 -

Since the common cold is a type of coronavirus, bearing many of the same features and attributes as the novel coronavirus, experts say that many people's immune systems have already been "trained" to ward off infection without the need for pharmaceutical drugs or vaccines.

"Your immune system's 'memory' T cells keep track of the viruses they have seen before," researchers at LJI explain. "This immune cell memory gives the cells a head start in recognizing and fighting ...

Scientists use cheap plastic lenses to make solar-powered desalination systems more effective

March 13, 2020 -

This is according to researchers from Rice University’s Laboratory for Nanophotonics (LANP), who found that by concentrating sunlight into “hotspots” using lenses, they could boost the efficiency of solar-powered membrane distillation desalination systems by more than 50 percent.
