Everything you love about robotics, astronomy, mechanical engineering, aerospace, nuclear engineering, etc. was funded in part by the military industrial complex which is heavily supported by Republican politicians.

Reply to comment by clusterlizard99 in Average weekly hours worked by individual physicians declined by 7.6% from 2001 to 2021, driven by a decrease among men, particularly fathers, while mothers’ hours increased. by Respawan

Highly depends on specialty.

It varies from 40 to about 80 a week.

Many women typically worked part time in the past. Outpatient care from like 9 to 3 pm. To be able to drop off and pick up the kids for example.

Some women in surgical specialties work 80 hour weeks and have their husband take care of the kids. It really varies greatly on an individual basis.

As far as cardiac health and overall health, yes the soccer players have it better. But those knee injuries can lead to a spiral down to obesity/inactivity.

I’m a radiologist, I’ve seen too many pediatric knee and hip MRIs with serious ligamentous and meniscal injuries related to soccer. Many of these are permanent and “career” ending.

Competitive sports in general are not healthy for the body. Mild aerobic exercise (preferably swimming and cycling) and weight training is where it’s at.

Reply to comment by Extension-Ad-2760 in Scientists are paving the way for diabetes and cancer patients to forget needles and injections, and instead take pills to manage their conditions. They have created a chemical “tag” that can be added to these drugs, allowing them to enter blood circulation via the intestines by giuliomagnifico

Which is crazy since high gauge needles are essentially painless. It’s the preservatives in the vaccine itself which are painful.
