  1. Cutting off their people noses to appease the Orange Tyrant's face.

    While not exactly sainted, #Cuba does have a long history of providing medical aid across the #Caribbean and South America. And Cuba has constantly had a better record on things such as infant and maternal mortality - than the US despite spending a very very small fraction of the bloated US private medical industry. Maybe the US should be asking for help?

  3. Big #Neandertal #noses weren't made for cold
    Neandertal nasal cavities were much the same as those of our own #HomoSapiens species, researchers report November 17 in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The research finally refutes an old idea that Neandertals’ protruding faces were necessary to accommodate large noses that had supposedly evolved to warm and moisten cold and dry air before it reached their lungs.

  5. Raw #milk is risky, but #airborne #transmission of #H5N1 from #cow’s milk is inefficient in #mammals, University of Wisconsin-Madison: news.wisc.edu/raw-milk-is-risk

    While H5N1 avian #influenza virus taken from infected cow’s milk makes #mice and #ferrets sick when dripped into their #noses, airborne transmission of the virus between ferrets — a common model for human transmission — appears to be limited.

  6. CW: Rant about noses

    How bizarre that a prosthetic nose is needed to make a non-Jewish actor look even less like the subject he portrays, because real Jews don’t look “Jewish enough”. And those who defend it as somehow accurate, wth parallel universe do they live in? I have what many consider to be a big nose. I’m proud of my nose. I would be pretty upset if someone drew a portrait of me with an even bigger nose because they didn’t think my nose adequately fit their antisemitic stereotypes. #Rant #Noses #Jewish
