NativeBio is so happy to see this. DNA, human, animal, plant, microbiome (natural or from sewers) is CURRENCY & IMPORTANT to all INDIGENOUS PEOPLES. #IDSov

Nice to see another paper from the @jonmcgavock.bsky.social lab on urban cycling. This study looked at if cycling-specific active transportation was sensitive to The Fresh Start Effect, with people being more likely to cycle to work at the start of the week. ijbnpa.biomedcentral.com/articles/10....

Last week, Native Bio's Research Director, Development Director and Executive Director were lucky enough to be invited by @jonmcgavock.bsky.social @chrimanitoba.bsky.social & FNHSSM and Taylor Morriseau to help with an #IDSov training for the Natives of Manitoba. They gifted us this beautiful art

This new paper from the Canadian Journal of Diabetes maps the trends in gestational diabetes in Manitoba - really interesting project and very helpful in helping plan for future interventions. @jonmcgavock.bsky.social. www.canadianjournalofdiabetes.com/article/S149...

When you are listening to @cbcradiocanada.bsky.social on pseudoscience and the "expert" doesn't actually do any research and before I can roll my eyes the Scientific Director of the Institute of Circulatory and Respiratory Health (ICRH) @CIHR calls is as "Brian from Edmonton".... Too awesome.

I still need to read the supporting data, but I'm struck that the framing is not "treatment of people" but rather "the People putting forward their own questions & agenda." Ethical principles in aDNA work (in part b/c of Indigenous researchers' activism) are maturing. cc: @nativebio.bsky.social

Such a cool and important paper, both because the science is rad and because the treatment of people and data is just. Super neat 🧪

This was a productive episode to do since I remain with the thought that the most important area of science we can be engaged in today is the science of scaling, or the science of using science.

The UN Human Rights Council has just officially recognised plastic pollution as a threat to human rights. Here's a look at how plastic disproportionately affects Indigenous Peoples - and how they're fighting back dialogue.earth/en/pollution... @dialogueearth.bsky.social

Traffic stops are one of the most common civilian and police interactions. Does race influence such interactions? Our new paper published in @science.org using a rideshare data set shows that there is considerable racial bias. Paper can be downloaded here: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Some Texas cities are running out of MMR vaccine. It’s good news in that it means people are realizing the importance of vaccination. It’s bad news in that it signals an issue with ramping up MMR vaccine distribution, hopefully temporarily. I wonder if RFK Jr. will do something about this?

So Marty Baron says it plain: “It was only weeks ago that The Post described itself as providing coverage for ‘all of America,’” Baron wrote in his statement. “Now its opinion pages will be open to only some of America, those who think exactly as he does.” www.thedailybeast.com//ex-wapo-edi...

I told you all @jeffbezos was feral. He’s now killed the Graham/Bradlee legacy of justice, the First Amendment and basic humanity in a vomitous spew of nonsense, testosterone fueled (and HGH) double talk that is more than a little pathetic and utterly shameless.

Here is a 2018 conversation between Jeff Bezos and German publisher Matthias Döpfner at a Business Insider event. Presumably, he is as crimson as a Washington State cherry today:

Besides the bad faith and epic corruption evidenced by the letter to @robertgarcia.bsky.social from this Trump waterboy, it is “whom you call a dick,” not “who you call a dick.” Grammar counts, you unctuous toady of the wannabe mob boss WHOM you serve.

Carville: USAID spent $41 billion the federal budget is 6 trillion. Actually comes to something like .014%. So take that and put it against the 6 trillion and see what you have done when your president is responsible for more federal debt than any president in the history of the United States.
