Remedy for PFAS in food
Scientists have discovered bacteria that, in the human gut, can absorb
a substantial amount of some PFAS,
and carry them along when excreted.
It remains to be seen what a patient would need to do for this to reduce
the level of PFAS in per body for the long term. Would these bacteria
reproduce in per gut and maintain a population? Would these bacteria
reduce the rate of bodily absorption of PFAS from the gut?
If the patient already has PFAS in per body, would these bacteria
help eliminate them?

DOJ ethics advisor fired
Attorney General Bondi fired the justice department's
chief
ethics advisor. She did not tell him the reason, but I suspect it
was because he raised issues about ethics.
Perhaps he dared to utter something about
her
own conflicts of interest.

Categorizing protester behavior, US
*DHS is urging [thugs] to treat even
skateboarding
and livestreaming as signs of violent intent during a protest,
turning everyday behavior into a pretext for [violent repression].*
This reflects an un-American hatred of traditional American civil liberties
and people who try to practice them.

City University of New York firings
CUNY dismissed four professors, despite the fact that their
departments want them to continue in their positions, and persistently
refuses
to explain why. The university has given no justification for
this, not to them and not to their union. The professors theorize
that it was because of their political activity — defending
Palestinians' rights. That is the only thing they have in common.
The chancellor of
CUNY stood up for academic freedom in the congressional committee
hearing; he should investigate what happened to these four professors
and ensure they get valid justifications for their firing

Hearings attacking university presidents
University heads (and others) summoned by a Congressional
committee to face weaponized false accusations of antisemitism
came
out swinging this time.
A Democrat on the committee said this:
“If the majority wanted to fight antisemitism and protect Jewish
students, they should condemn antisemitism in their own party and
at the highest level of government,” said Democratic representative
Suzanne Bonamici of Oregon. “They have failed to do so. Multiple
White House officials have ties to antisemitic extremists.”
