One of many reasons the department of education is being gutted.

I have posted about this before, but... Researchers at Pitt School of Public Health (with NIH funding) developed Project Tycho where they digitized reportable disease data from across the country going back to ~1900. graphics.wsj.com/infectious-d... 1/6

By characterizing abortion as health care, international orgs have pushed back against abortion exceptionalism. The World Health Organization recognizes that “[a]bortion is a simple health care intervention.” Numerous countries have adopted laws and policies to align with WHO recommendations.

2025, a timeline… 1) this is gonna be our year 2) fuck 3) Thanksgiving

Graph missing some confidence intervals, but the trend holds. Are we really surprised?

This is so alarming.

This is a very comprehensive review for those of you who are interested in vaccines and the use of mRNA in vaccines.

Today, we start one of the most advanced virus discovery & metagenomics workshop in the world in Stellenbosch. Experts from Australia, America, Brazil, Cambodia, China, Italy, Nederlands, Japan, U.K and Sweden come together to teach participants from 20 countries.

Happy Friday! We're so thrilled to share our review on #trainedimmunity out in @elife.bsky.social today. We had a great time writing this. Honored to be included in the special issue of trained immunity. Always an absolute treat to write with @khannakm.bsky.social elifesciences.org/articles/108...

I won't talk about NMeth @natmethods.nature.com forever (probably), but I do want to brag a bit about the November focus issue on cell segmentation and tracking, which is many ways is my last hurrah (and final editorial) for the journal. I am so proud of these papers!! www.nature.com/nmeth/volume...

Today is #WorldScienceDay! AAI celebrates the vital role of science in advancing peace & development. By strengthening scientific collaboration and awareness, we drive progress in global health, sustainability, and the understanding of the immune system, for the benefit of all societies.

Canada has lost its status as a measles-free country: www.canada.ca/en/public-he... How did measles get to Canada and how do we move forward? @jeyantvo.bsky.social asked Nathan VanderKlippe (@theglobeandmail.com) and @msmacrophage.bsky.social (@mcmasteruniversity.bsky.social)

You and the text you need to trim in order to meet the word limit

In the midst of all that we are facing, I want us to think about who we are being told to look to for understanding in this moment, who is being propped up as the voice of wisdom, and ask how right were they in predicting this, a year ago, 5, 8 years ago, and then ask why they are being centered now

So, NIH seems to have opened some high-level, director-of-institute type positions today, with a window of only two weeks. During a shutdown. Hm.

Very insightful thread about Jim Watson.

For the Watson apologists coming out of the woodwork today

When people celebrate the individual genius of folks in science, they should also mourn the collective loss of genius of folks who were actively discouraged or disadvantaged from a career in science because of the same person(s)

Thinking only of Rosalind Franklin today, and what was stolen from her (and so many other female scientists alongside her).

RIP Rosalind Franklin and all the incredible women scientists whose discoveries are shamelessly stolen. Signed: African female scientist whose intelligence is allegedly subpar based on my genetics.

People everywhere have been defending democracy with their lives. Last night was a reminder why.

C'mon New York!

What a time to be having outbreaks of Measles and vaccine-preventable diseases across the country..

My first vote as a U.S. citizen! #YesOn50 Every little step to get us out of this nightmare matters - Vote!

AAI calls on Congress to immediately reach a bipartisan agreement to end the ongoing government shutdown, which is causing serious harm to the nation’s biomedical research enterprise and jeopardizing scientific and public health progress. ow.ly/p9Sf50XlSaE

Getting a really bad feeling about all these cancelled NIH grant review panels. The trickle effect of trying to reschedule hundreds of review panels over the past month alone will have disastrous consequences, particularly on vulnerable scientists - and that's assuming the government even reopens!

I should have dressed up as 2025..

“Did Jamaicans evacuate?” Evacuate to where? Into the ocean? This question reveals so much about privilege, geography, and the arrogance of assuming everyone has somewhere safe to run in a climate crisis. open.substack.com/pub/drstacey...

I would love to see American universities run without people on work visas. Good luck! Who do you think is working and postdoc'ing day and night to get that great science out? It is so heartbreaking to watch the destruction of the scientific enterprise from all angles right before our eyes. #FAFO

I think this is going to be worse than the depression. Instead of having a president trying to get us out of it we’ll have someone actively trying to make it worse all while lying and calling it a golden age

My quote of the day Leadership is solving problems. The day soldiers stop bringing you their problems is the day you have stopped leading them. They have either lost confidence that you can help or concluded you do not care. Either case is a failure of leadership. Colin Powell

I'd love to say lots of nice things about this invaluable preventable disease tracker from @monscience.bsky.social and team at Think Global Health. It's an incredible resource. But I can't get over my anger & sadness that this resource is even needed. www.thinkglobalhealth.org/article/vacc...

This is definitely more reason to not buy anything outside of necessities this holiday season. The UPS and Amazon folks already have tough conditions and are now being short-staffed?

Hurricane Melissa is among the strongest hurricanes to have formed in the Atlantic Ocean since records were kept, ranking as one the most powerful storms in terms of both wind strength and pressure.

We are not reacting strongly enough to how horrible this is!

And now the US too..
