Iranian scientist Dr. Ali Bakui was killed by Israeli terrorist cells together with his wife and children in northern city of Sari.

#Science #Relation (#SR) - #public #relations #services for #science #professionals

Every self-respecting commercial enterprise engages in “public relations” (#PR). However, it is precisely this “public relation” that the #scientific #community lacks in order to raise its profile in the #media and gain #general #recognition. So how about public relations work in the form of “science relations” (SR) for you as a #scientist?

@metin
The reason it was "less drastic than anticipated" was because serious engineers didn't deny the issue, they got together and made sure that it didn't become a problem.

It is what responsible folks do when the forecast is for real problems. Its science and engineering at work.

What everyone else saw was the marketing oversell.

What we have now with #climateChange is the political boy and girls trying to stop real #scientist and #engineers from working on the problem.

#KseniiaPetrova’s lawyer, Gregory Romanovsky, has said he was “blindsided” by the #smuggling charge, …“Less than 2 hours after the Vermont judge set a hearing on Kseniia’s release, she was suddenly transferred from #ICE to #criminal custody. This is not a coincidence. It is an attempt by the government to justify its outrageous & legally indefensible position that this #scientist working for the US on cures for #cancer & #aging #research has somehow become a danger to the community.”

World may be ‘post-#herdimmunity’ to #measles, top #US #scientist says
As infections pummel communities in the US, Mexico and Canada, fear of ‘the most contagious human #disease’ grows
Risk of measles is considered high in the #Americas, and has grown 11-fold compared with 2024.
“Measles – because it is the most #contagious of the #vaccine-preventable #diseases, the most contagious human disease really – it is the first to come back.”
