The office of Ohio U.S. Sen. Jon Husted deleted a social media post claiming the Trump spending law is a "pro-family" bill for "working class families." The law will take health insurance and food support away from thousands of low-income, working Ohioans. ohiocapitaljournal.com/2025/07/15/o...

Catching up on sharing my science stories. Almost 1 in 10 workers in their 30s uses alcohol, marijuana or hard drugs while on the job in the United States. The reddit response suggests this is well known, especially in food and construction industries. 🧪 news.osu.edu/9-of-young-u...

HHS agency communications offices have been gutted by this administration. Today, the NIH sent out a press release a day early, breaking the embargo on a journal published by one of its own agencies. Heckuva job, Elon & DOGE!

Interesting findings from a lab studying the connection between hazardous drinking and insomnia. Stress and depression contribute to the relationship, but which has the strongest influence depends on whether poor sleep or heavy drinking came first. news.osu.edu/stress-depre...

Ruling by a Trump-appointed judge - AP can't be kicked out of the White House.

My husband called Bernie Moreno's office to complain about our senator calling Schumer "fuhrer." The staffer feigned ignorance while also defending what he said. She didn't know the difference b/w National Socialism and socialized medicine. "My job is too stressful to read the news," she said.

Thank you, Cory Booker! DISRUPT! www.youtube.com/live/v2utlMx...

NASW chiming in: "The more people who are trained to become scientists and science communicators, the more minds are available to tackle the many global challenges we face. We are redoubling our commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility..." 🧪 🩺 #ScienceSky #MedSky

RFK Jr. thinks that a clinical trial should be done for the entire childhood vaccine schedule. Here’s why that will never happen. 1. You can’t do a randomized trial of something that we already know is safe and effective. There would have to be a placebo group that didn’t get vaxxed. Unethical.

Called Sen. Bernie Moreno's office to urge him to be bold and call for the release of the Congressionally appropriated federal funding currently blocked by OMB (per exec order) - an action harming Medicaid recipients. Left a voice mail. Hope they're overwhelmed. Want to feel less helpless.
