Good morning. Worth reporting today that my request for media access to the 2024 conference of the Entomological Society of America was denied because of my previous coverage of the organization.

It's hugely disappointing that targets for cutting global farm antibiotic use have been dropped from the upcoming UN political declaration. The future of modern medicine is apparently less important than protecting the profitability of antibiotic misuse. usrtk.org/factory-farming-2/…

Important exposé of #manganese industry's efforts to manufacture disinformation about the health impacts of Mn exposure. @ngreports nails the industry, which uses the same product defense firms hored to deny the dangers of #PFAS, pesticides, & a long list of other hazards.

Why has the water in one Pennsylvania town turned black? It’s polluted by a metal called manganese, which can impair the neurological system and is especially dangerous to infants and children. publichealthwatch.org/2023/0…
