This is getting uncomfortable. Dr. Jill, it’s time to limit Joe Biden’s public appearances. His cognitive decline is accepted. There are questions about how diminished he was, and when. We need to know who knew of his decline and who was running the White House. None of these questions are for Joe Biden. Public appearances don’t influence those discussions and only make him appear pathetic.

Popular Science: 4 coffee myths debunked by science
Coffee came to me late in life, so there is much to learn.
I am apparently not a committed conservative. I had planned to go to Planet Fitness to get in my workout, but I want to stay home to watch Youtube videos about the MCU. There is about a 30% chance that I’m going to the gym today.

Drug to Extend Dogs’ Lives May Be Approved by FDA
The drug aims to extend the lifespan of senior dogs and maintain their quality of life as they age, building on the company’s previous RXE acceptance for a longevity drug specifically targeting the short lifespan of large breed dogs.
I don’t get how this works. I assume that dogs and people have similar physiologies, and two years living with Sparky hasn’t changed my mind. I have a developed prefrontal cortex and Sparky can poop whenever he wants, otherwise, our bodies work pretty much the same way.
New Therapy Offers Promising Solution to Childhood Peanut Allergies
Prior to our field trip to Cedar Point for Physics Day, one of my students who had a severe peanut allergy, came by to discuss medical precautions necessary for our day of fun.
He told me that food cooked in peanut oil, could send him to the hospital. Trace amounts of peanuts could kill him.
