A moral failure by the world’s wealthiest nations

Should you find yourself - for whatever reason - looking for a new set of authoritative, accessible summaries of the risks and benefits of vaccines to share with people, the NHS website is still doing a good job at this www.nhs.uk/vaccinations...

#Tuberculosis (TB) is preventable and curable. Yet, it remains one of the world’s deadliest infectious killers, claiming 1.23 million lives in 2024. The WHO Global Tuberculosis Report 2025 talks about the gains made so far and the challenges ahead due to severe funding cuts: bit.ly/4qT5ihk

@pitt-immunology.bsky.social researchers making big strides in our understanding of lupus, opening the door to potential therapeutics for this autoimmune disease. #PittBS

Very well done story on 60 Minutes about the harms of grant terminations and freezes at Harvard with Joan Brugge, Don Engbar, David Liu, and a very compelling young cancer patient, now cured with Liu's technology. Transcript and video here www.cbsnews.com/news/researc...

Dagmar is dressed for tonight’s match

Hard to believe this was just 5 years ago today...feels like a lifetime ago.

Hundreds of thousands of people, dead because of a decision made by the world's richest man

So pleased to see the mRNA platform being used to develop new vaccines against tuberculosis!!! www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Make sure you have your plan to vote tomorrow! I'll be going after work.

She’s the National Player of the Year again, and I’m sorry if that makes Nebraska fans feel some type of way.

PITT BEATS UNC IN FIVE!!! A THREE-HOUR MARATHON!!! Olivia Babcock breaks her own Pitt record again with 45(!!) kills this afternoon. NPOTY stuff. Pitt and Stanford are now tied atop the ACC with matching 11-1 records. #PittBS

Congrats to the Freeport girl's soccer team on their first WPIAL championship, with my niece Elena Jenkins netting the game-winner. ⚽ 🏆 #Proud www.post-gazette.com/sports/high-...

Congrats to South Africa! A big step towards reigning in the global HIV epidemic

Great thread on the life of Dr Jonas Salk, who invented the first polio vaccine while at the University of Pittsburgh #PittBS He refused to patent it, believing it should be freely available to all. I’m proud to follow his footsteps at Pitt’s Center for Vaccine Research

While Blocks, Kills, and Digs get all the attention, passing is harder to quantify but also important. @santelli.bsky.social breaks it down for Pitt #PittBS halfway through their ACC volleyball play.

It’s never been more important to support men and women who respect the Constitution and the rule of law. So make a plan to vote at IWillVote.com/VotingInfo/PA.

For #WorldPolioDay, @asm.org named the University of Pittsburgh a Milestones in Microbiology site to honor Dr. Jonas Salk for developing the world’s first polio vaccine. After use in the early 1950s, it reduced paralytic polio in the U.S. by 96% in only a few years.

Great job by @jeremymberg.bsky.social and @vscooper.micropopbio.org using local media to inform the general public of the harm caused by the destruction of NIH 👏👏

Welcome back to the Fitz, Panthers. H2P and LFG!

And surprising absolutely no one, Babcock was just named ACC Offensive Player of the Week.

PITT COMES BACK TO BEAT LOUISVILLE IN 5!!! A new Pitt record of 41 kills for Olivia Babcock. Huge, HUGE victory to put the Panthers in command of the race to host in the NCAAs. #PittBS

Pitt vs. Louisville. THE rivalry. ESPN 📺

No Steelers game today so why not watch some top-tier volleyball on ESPN @espn.com at 1pm EST

Apropos of nothing this morning: Pitt: 5-2 (3-1) PSU: 3-4 (0-4)

I’m a pretty passive baseball fan, but even I need to tip my hat to the insane performance that Ohtani put on last night. Jaw-dropping.

RIP David Baltimore

Now to repair the organizations that were stripped of funding so EVERYONE can benefit from this breakthrough.

I signed.

Removing the top leadership at NIAID, NIH and other health agencies, including the CDC and FDA, will damage America’s position as a leader in groundbreaking research in disease prevention and treatment. That puts us all at risk. Read our statement: asm.org/Press-Releas...

Do any of my #tbsky friends have interests in T cell responses in people with evidence of prior Mtb infection? If so, would you have any interest in looking at T cell responses to Mtb-derived peptides that we have detected by mass spectrometry? LMK 🙏🏽

A great tribute from @jeremymberg.bsky.social to Dr. Art Levine who led the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine for many years and was the epitome of compassionate leadership.

Really nice perspective article from @kerryhilligan.bsky.social and colleagues at @niaidnews.bsky.social on how BCG might protect from mycobacteria as well as unrelated pathogens. Great work!

In a world of Matts, be a Derek.

Pittsburgh is not a steel town, it is a medical research, education, and health care town. NIH cuts "would be as big as making cuts to U.S. Steel in its heyday". This is what Trump, Musk, and Republican enablers want to do to the regional economy www.axios.com/local/pittsb... @ryandeto.bsky.social
