Today, Governor DeSantis shared his plans to end vaccine requirements in the state of Florida. We are concerned that today's announcement will put children in Florida public schools at higher risk for getting sick and have ripple effects across their community. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

“Climate change will manifest as a series of disasters viewed through phones with footage that gets closer and closer to where you live until you're the one filming it.” You may not burn up in a fire but take a look at air quality trends in N America over the last 10 yrs & see how far away this is.

Harvard Chan School's Benjamin Sommers and Adrianna McIntyre (@adrianna.bsky.social) share their reactions to the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act” and discuss potential consequences for Medicaid recipients and the U.S. health care system.

New in AIDS Care: using a mixed methods approach, we evaluated the implementation of a new transition clinic for youth living with HIV. Thank you to my mentors Dr. Ahonkhai and Dr. Desai for their support on this important work! doi.org/10.1080/0954...

Most viewed this week from JAMA: US children's health has worsened from 2007 to 2023 across various indicators, including mortality, chronic conditions, and mental health. https://ja.ma/44qQDB5

New work from our members @ninahillmd.bsky.social @kaopingchua.bsky.social

With #HIV prevention medications (called PrEP for short) at the center of a #SCOTUS case that will receive a ruling soon, this new research from @ninahillmd.bsky.social & @kaopingchua.bsky.social is especially timely: ihpi.umich.edu/news-events/...

New @journalgim.bsky.social: using national pharmacy data, we show that PrEP use is increasing among young people aged 18-25, but these patients are using PrEP for shorter periods of time. @kaopingchua.bsky.social @um-ihpi.bsky.social link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Official CBO analysis confirms the obvious: House Republican tax and budget bill isn't shared sacrifice. It makes poor people poorer and rich people richer. It does this by cutting health care & nutrition to help finance tax cuts skewed to the wealthy. www.cbo.gov/publication/...

SNAP helps millions of kids eat. Now Congress wants to gut it — slashing $300 billion to fund tax breaks for the wealthiest households and corporations. It’s cruel, calculated, and happening this week. Contact your Representative now: secure.everyaction.com/lmBv70YdQkCu...

#SNAP cuts in the House budget resolution would take food assistance away from millions of low-income people from every state to help pay for tax cuts for the wealthy. Here’s the state-by-state impact: www.cbpp.org/research/foo...

Me, a public health person, just sitting over here reflecting on the fact that the US has experienced a 7% increase in infant mortality post-Dobbs. Like, do you realize what that says about this society from an ethical perspective? That we made policy choices that caused this? #PHEthx

A great reminder of all that is at stake for our nation’s kids.
