The destruction of one of the world’s great public health agencies is a travesty. RFK Jr. seems determined to replace evidence-based science with quackery and use the CDC as his mouthpiece, by @picardonhealth.bsky.social www.theglobeandmail.com/gift/0fc7a92... via @theglobeandmail.com

If a child in a classroom pointed at another student and said quiet piggy, they would be in detention. We do not accept that behavior from children. Yet, legacy media just shrugs it off.

A new study found the Trump administration’s cuts to NIH grants disrupted more than 380 clinical trials, affecting over 74,000 participants. The cuts disproportionately impacted trials on infectious diseases and minority communities.

At the World Conference on Lung Health in Copenhagen, @johngreensbluesky.bsky.social apologized on behalf of his country (USA) for the aid cuts that are devastating “On behalf of my country, I am sorry and also that I am ashamed. It seems small minded but that’s because it is small minded”

Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most common pediatric cancer, and 75% of ALL cases are in kids under six. In the 1960s, survival rate for ALL was 10%. Today, it’s OVER 90%. Why? Research & development of modern chemotherapies like vincristine. 1/

If you're of a certain age in this measles outbreak, this is worth your attention!! I was in the yellow. Several years ago our school made faculty provide proof of vaccination. I got tested for antibodies & had minimal protection so I got revaxxed. So happy I was able to get informed and protected!

What an honor to be part of BOOKS & BOOKS "Meet an Author, Build a Library" program last week! Signed 1,000 books for kids in the #Miami area, met amazing #teachers #librarians 📚♥🙏 ON AN OCEAN JOURNEY, 3/4/25! @sasquatchbooks.bsky.social @steamteambooks.bsky.social

RFK Jr said measles patients are hospitalized for quarantine. This is false. They are hospitalized with: •respiratory distress •pneumonia •dangerously high fever •encephalitis •severe dehydration from vomiting & diarrhea These are from measles, a serious illness. Preventable via vaccination.

It is NOT normal to have measles deaths in a country with vaccine access and healthcare. RFK Jr is a liar. If you want to know what the measles outbreak means for you & your family & what action items you can take, I cover that in today’s article. ⬇️ news.immunologic.org/p/the-first-...

Nice to see that some organizations are still respecting and rewarding science, fact, and public services. The American Academy of Arts and Sciences is recognizing Dr. Fauci with its "Excellence in Public Policy and Public Affairs" award. www.amacad.org/news/fauci-e...

I warned about RFK Jr leading HHS. Predictions included: Undermine vaccine recommendations Delay medicine approvals Cut healthcare for low income families Lie to the public Legitimize wellness pseudoscience Loosen barriers for unproven “treatments” Weaken food safety, security, & accessibility 1/

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

BOOKS+BOAS! 📚💚🐍 So fun to visit schools on Long Island with Ranger Eric of CEED. We'll be back in Feb. 2026 with these and other programs. Make science fun-get in touch if interested! #kidlit @steamteambooks.bsky.social #science #booksky #EduSky #schoollibrarians #teachers #skylibrarians #paleosky

The measles outbreak in Texas is because of RFK Jr & anti-vaccine profiteering. 2 cases jumped to 20 in 2 weeks, all unvaccinated, mostly kids. Measles was declared eliminated in the US in 2000 because of vaccines. But RFK Jr’s lies have reduced vaccine rates & cause PREVENTABLE outbreaks. 1/

This is the most relevant article to NIH and research cuts I’ve seen. Imagine if this was today , how many people would be saying “Why are we studying Gila Monsters and their impact on diabetes ? That’s wasted money !” globalnews.ca/news/9793403...

Beautifully illustrated book about animals and the ocean! Congratulations, Elizabeth!
