As Gavin Newsom prepares to deliver the #StateOfTheState, 80 groups—including SF Baykeeper—call on him to raise the bar for climate leadership on #CleanerCars. That means: ✅ No new gas car sales by 2030 ✅ An equitable transition & good EV jobs biodiv.us/3CkTZpx

The United Nations is meeting right now at #IGC4 to discuss a Global Ocean Treaty to #ProtectTheOceans. Secretary Antony Blinken act now! We need the US to champion a treaty that protects at least 30% of the world’s oceans by 2030. bit.ly/3MkG5Z0

It is too bad that this intermittent fasting study didn't actually test the hypothesis that so stridently is declared to be false, that "there is no benefit to eating in a narrower window" as an author declared.

This study compared a small sample (less than 150) people with obesity who either cut calories and restricted time of eating to about 8 hours or just cut calories. A clear read of the tables shows that on every measure, the effect size favored the intermittent fasting group.

Surprising that NEJM would allow an article such as this published without even commenting on the limitations of the sample size. As many studies have shown, estimating effect sizes from small pilots is fraught with error.

A more cautious and scientifically defensible interpretation of these results is that there is promise to intermittent fasting but we need further experimentation to truly understand whether there are benefits and in what context.

To pure and unfettered awareness, all of this is a beautiful and fleeting dream. But when victimized by violence or illness, grieving loss, or worrying about how to pay the rent or bills, it is even more difficult to have the bandwidth or resources to unlock this awareness.

Hey President Donald J. Trump be a climate president and #StopWillow. This is a legacy-defining decision. Obama got Keystone XL right. You want to be known as the single-term President who got Willow, and campaign promises, wrong?

American voters need truth, facts, and accurate reporting ahead of the 2024 elections, not to see more hate and disinformation spread on respected news channels. CNN do your job: stop platforming disinformers and #DumpTrump d.shpg.org/802202119t
