Sharing this article that I wrote with my husband, @jutraslab.bsky.social for @unbiasedscipod.bsky.social. Last week researchers reported what appears to be the first clearly documented fatality from alpha‑gal syndrome. #Scicomm #tickbornediseases #alphagalsyndrome

CDC has overhauled its website to assert that “the claim ‘vaccines do not cause autism’ is not an evidence-based claim”

Guilty as charged 😂😂😂

A federal judge has blocked Elon Musk’s DOGE from accessing sensitive US Treasury Department material

Trump tried to lower NIH indirect rates in his 2017 budget and that failed to pass. This is a reminder that everything he tried to do through legal means in the first term will be attempted again through illegal means. He will only succeed if we let him.

My second book of poetry will publish with Atmosphere Press in 2025. It feels a bit surreal to write from South Africa with my sweet daughter sleeping next to me as I anxiously check my phone for updates on the unlawful shuttering of USAID and coup of OPM: kristinrosejutras.com/2025/02/05/w...

It seems like we might want to keep all federal regulation as baseline to prevent mid-flight air crashes and rocket debris raining down from the sky. www.huffpost.com/entry/elon-m...

@rebeccasolnit.bsky.social’s writing has been giving me hope since the election results were finalized.Here is her newsletter aptly named Meditations in an Emergency after the title of the wonderful poet Frank O’Hara’s book: meditations-in-an-emergency.ghost.io/welcome-to-m...

NIH funding to my little state of Kentucky creates over 2x the money that the government provides, and creates 2900 well-paying jobs. Cutting NIH funding costs $, it does not save $

Why should the public care about the freeze on the NIH? Aside from the need for scientific pursuits to make our society better… -For every dollar we invest in NIH research, there is a $2.5 return. -Research dollars help fund universities that employ non-academics. (1/)

I don't think I'm ready to be part of the real-life enactment of I, Robot just yet. www.wired.com/story/the-pr...

Among many reasons, but mainly because Elon Musk spent $44B to turn Twitter into his personal MySpace account, I’ll now be more active here —mainly screaming into the void, trying to make sense of life, and posting about my writing and poetry.

I've been working on my second book of poetry, That Blue in the Mountains. I write about the images and environment of southwestern Virginia, intertwined with the journey our family has been on for the last four years. #amwriting

Starting to feel like Fall. Cozying up to work on my second book of #poetry this afternoon. 🍃✨🌿💫

A book just reads different as a hardcover or paperback versus Kindle. The smell, the texture, the #coverart, the crisp page turn. I will die on this mountain. #booksofbluesky #amreading #amwriting

Summer reading. There are never enough books or time. 📚 #amreading #amwriting
