I write a monthly science column for some awesome small-town newspapers in rural New York. My main goal is to actively and diplomatically push back against pseudoscience. I'm the wife of a U.S. diplomat, so I know a few things about diplomacy:🧵🧪🔭

#ESCAIDE2024 day two! ❄️

#ESCAIDE2024 opening with Dr Pamela Rendi-Wagner “Preparedness is much more than response. It is also #prevention. The P is also in the #ECDC although it is not spelled. One of the most public health elements is prevention.” @ecdc-eu.bsky.social

Bluesky now has over 20M people!! 🎉 We've been adding over a million users per day for the last few days. To celebrate, here are 20 fun facts about Bluesky:

What a great day for #PublicHealth #GlobalHealth on BlueSky: The #WHO ánd #ECDC joined!! 🌍 World Health Organization @who-global.bsky.social 🇪🇺 European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control @ecdc-eu.bsky.social #EpiSky #IDSky #MedSky #SoMe4epi 😷🩺🧪🦠 🛟

Very excited to be on the way to #ESCAIDE in Stockholm, and in particular to meet old and new EPIET/EUPHEM fellows 😄 On that note, if you are related to the fellowship and are not on this starter pack, let me know! go.bsky.app/EDqC8CG

🚨 Big news today at the Institute We are seeking a new lead author for the Digital News Report Next year’s edition will be the last one led by Nic Newman, who launched the report in 2012. Here’s what the role requires and how to apply reutersinstitute.politics.ox.ac.uk/news/reuters...

Looks like Bluesky will cross 20 million users some time before I wake up tomorrow morning ET. The platform had 10 million users 2 months ago. It had about 15 million users a week ago. bsky-users.theo.io

Let’s talk numbers! 👉 Ask yourself whether you really need numbers to support your main message 👉 Explain numbers in practical terms 👉 Avoid percentages 👉 Choose simpler math concepts.

Cannot wait to meet my favourite bunch of infectious disease epi’s, public health professionals and all other lovely attendees of #ESCAIDE in #Stockholm and here in the #EpiSky and #AcademicSky 🙌 It’s time for #ESCAIDE2024! 🦠🇪🇺🌍 @eurosurveillance.bsky.social

Meanwhile over at the other place… “We think that the benefits of being on X are now outweighed by the negatives and that resources could be better used promoting our journalism elsewhere.” www.theguardian.com/media/2024/n...
