"By our count, nearly 600 COVID-19 studies have been retracted so far, bringing into question how robust the publishing process was in the midst of the pandemic".

After today's hearing, @drdebhoury.bsky.social told me, “The CDC director should be given autonomy on how to lead the agency. We really need physicians and scientists to raise their voices” at a time when radical transparency and gold-standard science are not happening at the CDC. Read more below!

Posts about research on Bluesky receive substantially more attention than similar posts on X, formerly called Twitter go.nature.com/45Ftiw4

Three senior CDC leaders who resigned told The Post they were asked to participate in an unscientific vaccine recommendation process that they believe could harm the health of Americans.

Researchers are arguing over whether ‘disruptive’ or ‘novel’ science is waning – and how to remedy the problem https://go.nature.com/3SAofFU

22 years ago I pivoted from working on antibiotic resistance to pandemic viruses. Since then, I've argued that if we care about saving US lives in expectation, advance capacity for producing bird flu vaccine offers by far the greatest expected return on investment. ... We were so goddamn close.

Trump signed an order mandating the overhaul of research-integrity policies so that the US government promotes “gold standard science”. But many researchers worry about political interference and are mobilizing opposition. https://go.nature.com/43EYiKo

Although the name 'monkeypox' comes from the virus's discovery in lab monkeys in 1958, researchers have long suspected rodents and other small mammals of being reservoir hosts https://go.nature.com/3R9pYRJ

"AI is being used to design cars and discover drugs: Do professors really think it can’t narrate and flip through PowerPoints as well as a human instructor?" My guy is telling on himself so many ways even in this one sentence.

Gene editing and many other useful biotechnology tools came from studies of bacteria fighting off viral invaders. But scientists have only begun to unlock the secrets of this ancient arms race https://go.nature.com/4lD4LOa
