Very interesting read: “​solidarity-based [epid] is the explicit practice of [epid] aimed at dismantling structural inequities in health through the promotion of shared interests, with the goals of overcoming domination and exploitation and, ultimately, of achieving justice.” #EpiSky #SocEpi

Nine former directors of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention - who collectively served under both Republican & Democratic administrations - came together to write this piece raising alarm about how RFK Jr. is endangering public health in the United States. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/o...

Very interesting! I recently received a review where the reviewer literally demanded I cite at least 15 articles by the same first author. Will this be considered a misconduct or citation extortion? Asking for a friend…🙈

I couldn’t stop laughing 🤣🤣thank you for sharing 🥰🥰

And...chef's kiss 🤌 on the footnote, @defendpublichealth.bsky.social and @elizabethjacobs.bsky.social. 👏👏👏 #IHATnotMAHA

Hard agree 💯💯 Feedback should specific and direct without the ‘idiot’ word. It should provide solutions not more problems and confusions. #AcademicSky #PhDSky

My latest for @thenation.com. RFK Jr. Has Been Handed a Very Dangerous Weapon: how a bigoted doctor, an extremist judge, and the Supreme Court all combined to give the secretary a powerful new way to undermine public health. @jsalomon.bsky.social www.thenation.com/article/soci...

This @nytimes.com OP underscores the damage done to the health of the US population by cutting research funds. #Epidemiology #EpiSky #HealthEquity www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

This is an interesting offering cues we should be paying careful attention given that AI is here to stay and is becoming a ghostwriter. #Epidemiology #EpiSky #AI #Editor #Publication www.nytimes.com/2025/07/02/h...

This seems to be a step forward and underscore the importance of speaking out. #Epidemiology #EpiSky www.science.org/content/arti...

This is unprecedented. The AMA and other medical professional societies speak as one on respiratory virus vaccines and in their own way, say the Trump Administration cannot be trusted with your health. www.ama-assn.org/delivering-c...

This piece underscores the effects of the federal cuts to US science in funding, lab equipment, conferences, employment, etc. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Judge Young said that the NIH grant terminations were rooted in discrimination against racial, sexual, and gender minority groups: “I would be blind not to call it out. My duty is to call it out.” #HealthInequity #DEI www.science.org/content/arti...

Considered to be the father of social epidemiology, Len Syme died earlier this year at the age of 92. In this month's SSM-Population Health, Berkman & Krieger pen a tribute asking: “What would Len say?”―as public health faces multiple threats in the U.S. #SocialEpi #EpiSky tinyurl.com/5yyndtk8

As @aniloza.bsky.social says so well, "File it under bureaucratic whiplash." NIH rescinds anti-DEI policy only to reinstate it hours later. Was it a mistake? Will it be rescinded again? HHS not answering questions, leaving researchers only more confused. www.statnews.com/2025/06/10/n...

“The clear message here is that these are two distinct constructs [race/ethnicity and genetic ancestry], they mean different things, and they should not be used interchangeably,” said Luisa Borrell @cuny.edu @cunysph.bsky.social #EpiSky #SocialEpi www.statnews.com/2025/06/05/n... via @statnews.com

September will be the end of a lot of international research programs: “Going forward, NIH said, foreign scientists must directly apply for separate grants, and the agency will revise its process for these applications.” www.science.org/content/arti...

This is indeed very sad and terrible for students, postdoctoral fellows and junior faculty members. www.science.org/content/arti...

People are worried about science: “In a survey of Nature readers in April, 94% of nearly 1,600 respondents said they are worried about the future of science in the country.” #EpiSky #PublicHealth www.nature.com/articles/d41...

We're not backing down. The Trump administration’s reorganization of the federal government without legislative authority is unlawful & must be stopped.

"Medical journals should not expect to be spared by the Trump administration's attack on science, nor should health institutions such as the NIH, the CDC, or academic medical centres." www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

The attack on women's health continues: The Women's Health Initiative (WHI) study will be canceled after January 2026. www.science.org/content/arti...

Public universities in Catalonia, Spain, unanimously reject the attacks of the US admin on higher education. #PublicHealth #EpiSky

Excellent article! Immigration is a social and political determinant of health, and it now more consequential than ever. @cunysph.bsky.social #SocialEpi #EpiSky

Great advice for PhD students: Embrace uncertainty; balance thinking with doing; stop striving for perfection; argue respectfully and listen attentively; take breaks; and find meaning outside of work. #PhD #EpiSky www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Steve Kerr is always representing the cause!💛🧡

So glad to see bravery and decency stand up…

The sad part is that maternal mortality will continue to increase given the current disregard for women health and #PublicHealth as a whole #EpiSky #SocialEpi @statnews.com

Only 20%?! "Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. suggested Thursday that around 20% of the job cuts by the Trump administration's Department of Government Efficiency will be wrong and need to be corrected." #PublicHealth #EpiSky #SocialEpi www.cbsnews.com/news/rfk-jr-...

Please see below strong Statement from @apha.org Executive Director Georges C. Benjamin, MD: "I ask my colleagues to join me and speak up. Secretary Robert Kennedy is a danger to the public’s health and should resign or be fired." #PublicHealth #EpiSky #SocialEpi www.apha.org/news-and-med...

The courage of @APHA needs solidarity. Do you run or sit on a board of a professional organization? #StandwithAPHA. Join the call. RFK Jr. must resign or be fired. Speak out now before he does more damage to the nation's health and future. apha.org/news-and-med...

It's hard to see what is happening unless you pull back the lens, read @ruthbenghiat.bsky.social and others on autocrats and centers of knowledge and expertise. Once you recognize it, a chill should go down your spine. www.thenation.com/article/soci...

Sadly this sounds about right! This is a fast and furious destructive move against everyone but those who belongs to the cult!
