‼️a combination of advanced air filtration, ventilation, and purification could cut the average number of infected cases among all students in half‼️

We modeled measles risk in schools across the U.S. KEY FINDINGS 1⃣ Results highlight the primary importance of vaccination for reducing the risk of measles transmission among students 2⃣ Addt'l and significant benefits thru enhancing building ventilation and filtration systems

🔥 “These agents, and the president who sent them, are no one’s heroes, no one’s saviors—just men with guns who have to hide their faces to shoot a mom in the face, and a nurse in the back.” www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

The label we use to describe this group matters. A lot.

I've been using "paramilitary" to describe this masked, undertrained, overarmed, force that Trump has ordered into our streets in unmarked vans. 1/2

The nursing subreddit, which has half a million weekly visitors, just approved changing their icon to a professional photo of Alex Pretti.

Why is NYT hedging when it's crystal-clear the Trump administration is lying about what happened? WSJ gets it right. NYT: "Videos Appear to Contradict Federal Accounts of Fatal Shooting" WSJ: "Videos Contradict U.S. Account of Minneapolis Shooting" Now is not the time to mince words.

Be outraged. Stay outraged. This is not who we are.

There is a paramilitary group, controlled by Trump, running around our streets in masks and unmarked vans, undertrained and over-armed, demanding “papers”, arresting US citizens, stoking fear and unrest, given approval to enter homes and given immunity for their actions, and… 1/2

Thank you, Minneapolis www.nytimes.com/2026/01/23/u...

This is shocking, and should be a wake up call about the 5-alarm fire happening at HHS under RFK Jr.

I can't get over this. He really said it. Like, for real. About kids and measles spreading. We're going to have a 'real-world experience' alright, just one we had decades ago and never had to have again thanks to a safe and effective vaccine.

This is an insane quote from the “top CDC vaccine expert” “What we’re going to have is a real-world experience of when unvaccinated people get measles,” he said. “What is the new incidence of hospitalization? What’s the incidence of death?” www.statnews.com/2026/01/22/v...

Trump’s Bored of Peace

This is extortion, and he just keeps moving down the line for his next target: --> Harvard, give me $1 B, or no research --> Law firms, give me $100M, or no business --> Venezuela, give me your oil, or no country --> Denmark, give me Greenland, or no NATO

Want to reduce your risk of dying by about 25%? Walk for about 12 minutes per day...

Incredible study. Also shows most of the gains happen at 5 MET hours per week. To help people understand what that actually means for them, I had Gemini convert this to hours per week. (doesn't take much, folks!)

This is horrifying

I'm reviewing applications for our masters program. Are people not fully aware of the by-now-very-well-known-tip-off-that-AI-wrote-the-essay?

Did Apple vibe-code this latest release?

a man-child with a fragile ego, showing evidence of cognitive decline, acting on whims, surrounded by sycophants who could never rise to these positions on merit, only by ass-kissery, kept in power by a handful of meek republican senators, even though they all certainly know none of this is ok.

I just canceled my chatGPT account

I genuinely don't understood how America took the emoluments clause -- the common-sense bar on a president using his powers to line his own pockets, a law children can understand -- and just said, nah, that doesn't apply for our Very Special Boy.

to be clear...am using AI. a lot. just not...chatgpt (I write more about this on twitter...)

Just realized...I don't use chatgpt anymore. at all. wow.

I’m in LA for a large symposium we co-organized with terrific colleagues at UCLA and USC. One overriding theme - the threat does not clear when the smoke does. I’m on All Things Considered with my colleagues discussing what we’ve learned. www.npr.org/2026/01/14/n...

Summed up perfectly by @ylepidemiologist.bsky.social: “One of the most opaque and destabilizing public health decisions I’ve seen—it could blow up a lot of progress in childhood vaccines, which have been one of the most successful public health interventions in history.”
