We are failing our children. Guns are now the leading cause of death for children in the U.S. Michelle and I mourn with the students and families of the Covenant School today.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
According to the CDC, accidents are the leading cause of death for children and adolescents. The claim that guns are the leading cause of death for children would only be true if children under 1 are excluded and 18 and 19 year olds are counted as children. cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/c… cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/a… snopes.com/news/2023/03/2… statesman.com/story/news/pol…

Jillian Milanes, a graduate research assistant in @EPICClemson, is working working with professor James Morris on research regarding a rare brain eating amoeba. Her research may help develop new therapeutics to help treat those affected by it. bit.ly/41l0mFc

- @TheTrentCrimm, Independent - If you watch one episode per day, starting today, you’ll finish season 2 of #TedLasso the day before season 3’s first episode. Some might say this smells like potential.

The Rice lab’s first independent publication in collaboration with #Alcon! Super excited to see where this study leads.
Who would have known that the lens material was also a culprit in patients becoming infected with Acanthamoeba Keratitis. Pretty awesome study, thanks for including me! Peep the supplemental video for Acanthamoeba crawling over contact lenses, yes, it's pretty scary!
