The WHI is ending and why you should be concerned and furious. Also, giving RFK Jr, Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, and Dr. Marty Makary the keys to the proverbial castle is akin to putting three rabid raccoons into a Costco; eventually they’ll rip everything apart vajenda.substack.com/p/the-whi-is...

This latest episode of #AskDrMiaPodcast I interviewed Sam Simon who turned his #dementia diagnosis into a play, advocacy, and a life of purpose. Take a listen at www.miayangmd.com/life-of-mean...

🧵DISMANTLING DEMOCRACY I've been keeping track of Trump actions - now up to 192. Here, I dig into 69 actions specifically targeted at undermining democracy, rule of law & suppressing dissent. It's been 12 weeks of assaults on democracy. based on christinapagel.substack.com/p/a-republic... 1/18

Historic moment for global health. After 3 years of negotiation, nations finally agreed on the first-ever global pandemic treaty, a set of commitments to prevent, prepare for, and respond to future pandemics. Here’s what it means and why it matters 🧵 www.nature.com/articles/d41...

These are not detainments—they are kidnappings. These are not deportations—they are human trafficking. These are not detention centers—they are concentration camps. Language matters. This is fascism.

Excited to share our new paper in @alzdemjournals.bsky.social Behavior & Socioeconomics of Aging. 🧠 We used latent profile analysis to identify groups of middle-aged adults with distinct intrinsic factors (e.g., motivation, AD knowledge) and examined group differences. doi.org/10.1002/bsa3...

Groups across the country have received letters notifying them that their grants from the National Endowment for the Humanities have been canceled, raising alarms about serious harm to museums, historical sites, and a wide range of community projects.

Well, here it is. Trump and Musk are turning #NIH into a garbage rightwing thinktank, just as we said. They’re forcing down junk science on us with your tax dollars. This is a deep shame for America and for scientists everywhere. 1/3

Great crowd at the Stand Up For Science rally in Raleigh! 🧪 I had to cut the video short because my son wanted to use my phone to take pictures of the dogs in attendance (one had a sign that said "support labs" 😂). There were many more folks than I captured here. 👏🏼👏🏼 @standupforscience.bsky.social

When Amazon launched in 1995, there were 5,500 indie bookshops in the U.S., with 7,000 locations. By May of 2023, that number had decreased to 2,185 indies & 2,599 locations. When you purchase audiobooks via Libro.fm vs. Audible, you directly support indie bookshops. Let's make that number grow ❤️

Very efficient. Very cost-saving.

Today, I found out that the Department of Defense banned the Well-Read Black Girl anthology by Glory Edim. I was one of its contributors. I'm really hurt right now. So if you have it in you, please buy books by Black women from independent bookstores.
