Maternal preconception occupational exposure to cleaning products and disinfectants and offspring asthma

Mother’s occupational exposure to indoor cleaning agents starting before conception, or around conception and pregnancy, was associated with more childhood asthma and wheeze in offspring. Considering potential implications for vast numbers of women in childbearing age using cleaning agents, and their children, further research is imperative.

Not much exposure with my small batches but I roast in an unheated entryway with the sliding door open anyway. Since a respiratory infection a few years ago my lungs are not in the best of shape so every bit helps keep matters from worsening.

The Autistic Brain by Temple Grandin. Fascinating book.

The double post was accidental, but kind of funny when I think about it.

Agnotology (formerly agnatology) is the study of deliberate, culturally-induced ignorance or doubt, typically to sell a product or win favour, particularly through the publication of inaccurate or misleading scientific data. More generally, the term also highlights the condition where more knowledge of a subject leaves one more uncertain than before.

Ignorance as a Topic of Investigation Peter Galison: Robert, you and I have been talking about agnotology—the structure of impressed ignorance—for a long time now, or certainly since the time we were graduate students. Over the years, you have been focused

Awesome. I didn't know there was a name for it, but I've been observing it in action most of my life. From apparently deliberate mispronunciations and denial of racial and gender equality to the recent vaccine debates it's always mystified me that people can be actually proud of their own display of ignorance in the face of overwhelming fact and logic. Thanks.

Wow harsh

I have been reading since @silvermouse post on all the massacres and lynchings. It is really profound when you read the history. As to the toolkit part, this I can not speak to.
