    Slovak science academy ‘strictly condemns’ government official’s paper on mRNA vaccines – Retraction Watch

    June 24, 2025 - By 

    Peter Kotlár Slovakia’s national science academy has issued a strong critique of a paper on mRNA vaccines coauthored by a member of the country’s parliament. The group called the work “insufficiently detailed” and “lacking controls,” with data that “may be misleading” and conclusions “not supported by sufficiently robust data.”  Peter Kotlár, the paper’s second author, is an orthopedist and represents the far-right Slovak National Party. He is also the commissioner for a review of resource management during the COVID-19 pandemic for the government of populist prime minister Robert Fico, himself known for questioning the science around COVID-19. The paper appeared…

    Weekly Forecast: June 23-27, 2025 – New Moon In Cancer – ElsaElsa

    June 23, 2025 - By 

    The Sun, Mercury, and Jupiter are all in Cancer, a watery-emotional-cardinal and highly-charged stellium challenged by shifting reality but aided in tangible, intelligent maneuverability. The atmosphere is tangibly emotionally volatile, but even so we have the grounding strength of devotion to principle. If overwhelmed by unfolding events, pass over inflammatory narratives in favor of nuts-and-bolts directives that offer realistic next steps. Defang fear with information and sunshine: matter-of-fact. If you don’t know, find out, seek out. If you do know, speak up. Calmly. It’s okay if your voice shakes with emotion; that doesn’t make it weak. First steps of “doing…

    Daily Horoscope: Insights for Your Day Ahead

    June 19, 2025 - By 

    The Moon is deep in Aries today, lighting up our impulsive side—but with yesterday’s Jupiter-Neptune square still echoing in the background, it’s not all action and adrenaline. There’s something stirring beneath the surface—old patterns, unspoken fears, hidden motives. Today isn’t just another day to hustle. It’s a day to understand what’s driving the hustle in the first place. ARIES (March 21 – April 19)You’re running hot today—ideas, energy, emotion. But pause before you sprint. That reactive moment might be trying to teach you something deeper. Let instinct guide you, yes—but not override your self-awareness. Growth looks like power with patience.…

    When Deer Attack

    June 18, 2025 - By 

    Dangerous animals (truly) in a suburban backyard. Credit: Laura Helmuth I witnessed a minor Drama in Real Life the other day while biking along the Western Maryland Rail Trail. Several deer were foraging by the side of the trail as I passed them, then I heard a bang and a scream (deer) and another scream (human). A full-grown deer had leapt into the trail and rammed another biker, throwing her off her bike. The biker had scrapes all over her arms and knees, and she was pretty shaken up. She’d just been attacked by a wild animal!  Fortunately, she didn’t…

    Shocking Info Comes To Light

    June 17, 2025 - By 

    Mercury in Leo will oppose in Pluto in Aquarius, exact on June 29th, energizing the beleaguered third degree.  Pluto is concerned with what’s hidden beneath the surface.  Leo is all about the light of day. Astrology, broadly speaking, tends to discount Mercury.  I’ve been writing about this error for two decades. This powerful energy is nothing to trifle with.  Here are some key words: Devastating news Paranoid thinking Transformative conversations Manipulative speech Obsessive thought Deep analysis Penetrating insight Verbal machinations Deep understanding Exposing secrets Neighbor’s or sibling’s dirty laundry Precise timing Dehumanizing speech Therapeutic conversations Mental breakthrough / breakdown Words…

    Galactic mystery: Why massive stars struggle to form in the Milky Way’s center

    June 16, 2025 - By 

    New research led by Dr. James De Buizer at the SETI Institute and Dr. Wanggi Lim at IPAC at Caltech revealed surprising results about the rate at which high-mass stars form in the Galactic Center of the Milky Way. The researchers based their study primarily on observations from NASA\’s now-retired SOFIA airborne observatory, focusing on three star-forming regions — Sgr B1, Sgr B2, and Sgr C — located at the heart of the Galaxy. Although the central part of our Galaxy has a much higher density of star-forming material than the rest of the Milky Way, in the Galactic Center,…
