This will be devastating for scientists and research teams, participants of trials, including those who receive TB or HIV care and treatment and will impact gains made world-wide in controlling infections diseases. And all for a completely BS reason. www.science.org/content/arti...

Estimates by @charlesjkenny.bsky.social @justsand.bsky.social: US foreign aid likely prevents 2.3 to 5.6 million deaths annually, largely in Africa. And that a complete disruption would result in over 4000 lives lost per day.

The coolest thing I’ve seen today is that a bunch of volunteer public health professionals and developers have restored the CDC website from before January 20th 2025. This differs from an archive in that they want to rebuild the links between pages and replicate the full website.

Now we have the complete list of all predatory journals on a single page. Share with everyone! 😉 www.predatoryjournals.org/the-list/jou...

Our recent systematic review shows that the composition of the intestinal microbiological can impact oral and parenteral vaccine responses.

My prediction in @wired.com: 2025 is the year of AI agents. The coming psychopolitical regime "directs the environments where our ideas are born, developed, and expressed. Its power lies in its intimacy—it infiltrates our subjectivity. We will be playing an imitation game that ultimately plays us."

Including the interview with @katecrawford.bsky.social - and the terrific idea of AI as a “metabolic technology”
