A VIRAL IMAGE OF A BLACK FETUS IS HIGHLIGHTING THE NEED FOR DIVERSITY IN MEDICAL ILLUSTRATIONS

…..and I agree….Nigerian medical student and illustrator….Chidiebere Ibe…..more than likely pissed off….the world….and countless people on social media….because social media realized they had never seen a Black fetus….or a Black woman depicted before….and this image opened an untapped void and brought attention to a larger issue at hand.….a lack of diversity of medical illustrations in medical textbooks.

RUSSIA RECORDS BIGGEST TEMPERATURE CONTRAST IN THE WORLD SINCE 1954…..I don’t want anyone complaining about how cold it might be this winter….unless you live in Delyankir…..which is in the Sakha Republic…..in the country’s far east….if you’re not dealing with -61.1 Celsius or -78 Fahrenheit…..then shut up when you have to turn up the heat a bit…..now on the same day the people of Delyankir were freezing their butts off…..3,700 miles away….in Shatoy….in the southern republic of Chechnya….the temperature reached a balmy 24.5 Celsius….or 76 degrees Fahrenheit…..and that’s the biggest temperature difference in any single country….since January 20th, 1954.

GERMAN POLICE FOIL A TERROR ATTACK IN HAMBURG….Good….because I have enough on my plate to deal with…..a 26-year-old German-Moroccan man was arrested after he tried to buy a firearm and a hand grenade on the dark web….he was trying to buy them from an undercover investigator…..he was in contact with the Salafi-Islamist scene….when they searched his flat….the police found a lot of bomb making material, Islamist propaganda….and how-to videos on how to build a bomb….other raids were carried out across the country and phone, tablets and hard drives were confiscated…..the police received tips from the Islamic community…..because of the role his father once played in the al-Quds Mosque…..where several of the September 11 plotters met…..the police think his father was in contact with one of the attackers…..Mohammed Atta.
