Peter Thiel says he’ll leave California if they pass a 1% wealth tax on billionaires for five years. So… how much would it take to make him leave the U.S.?

In Kyoto for a ceremony for three friends who have been authorized to teach the historic/foundational shakuhachi repertoire. Have been visiting temples, meeting fellow aficionados, hiking on beautiful mountain paths, with more to come. A wonderful way to celebrate a milestone birthday.

If you thought MAHA was going to at least look at environmental risk in an unbiased way. Nope.

The bell in First Congregational Church in Falmouth, MA was forged in 1796 by Paul Revere. It has been rung over 30,000,000 times. Today the congregation rang it especially for the No Kings event.

Nine years ago I was honored to be inducted into the National Academy of Medicine. But the president of NAM has been so muted about the devastating impact of the current administration on health sciences. I look forward to working with Dr Bertagnolli, the incoming president of NAM, from July 2026.

BREAKING: Friday night massacre underway at CDC. Doznes of "disease detectives," high-level scientists, entire Washington staff and editors of the MMWR (Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report) have all been RIFed and received the following notice:

For the big 65, I am raising money for the Seaver Autism Center at Mount Sinai. What can I say, I think it is a fantastic organization! And we can use your support! giving.mountsinai.org/goto/seavera...

Fantastic reporting on autism - youtu.be/E-yaxqDsfgY?...

It is shocking how HHS is trying to obscure the definition of cerebral folate deficiency to push for approvals for an unproven treatment with *no data on long term safety*. www.thetransmitter.org/spectrum/exc...

Congress, Now More Than Ever, Our Nation Needs Your Cowardice

BREAKING: WE WON!!! 💥 💥 💥 Federal Judge William G. Young ruled today in our lawsuit against the Trump administration that the policy of arresting, detaining, & deporting noncitizen students & faculty members for their pro-Palestinian advocacy violates the 1st Amendment. Full ruling here:

Medically Dubious Predatory Institutions publish anything by anyone (who’s willing to pay) with no editorial oversight—and even less peer review. Paper mills are not the way forward. I see one of MDPI’s 426 journals? I pass. We need hard science, flawless methodology, rigour. Now more than ever.

The Tylenol during pregnancy-autism myth is a disinformation campaign. Here is my full analysis to help. open.substack.com/pub/drrubin/...

No, Tylenol does not cause autism. And there is no compelling evidence that leucovorin reduces symptoms. A consensus summary is found here - www.coalitionofautismscientists.org

The proposed “autism registry,” which raised alarms with multiple stakeholder groups and was thought to be abandoned, appears to be moving ahead, but now out of the public eye. talkingpointsmemo.com/news/hhs-has...

An outright fanatic who wants to stop all scientific research

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russell... does not think the NIH should exist as all. I would like to hear from @Ushu Vance, @Jared Kushner, and @Ivanka Trump how they feel about a Christian nationalist manipulating the budget to advance the Christian state.

www.washingtonpost.com/science/2025... The best part is that the company website has a picture of three clowns and no names under “our people”.

The Washington Post has the Schnabel story. "A $3.3 million NIH [sole source] contract to a Louisiana company, Argo Chasing, named Trish Duffy Schnabel, the wife of the NIH’s chief operating officer on its list of staff, according to the officials. " 1/

Stop asking billionaires questions, recording their answers and sharing their uninformed and/or racist and/or otherwise bigoted and nonsense ideas as journalism. It’s ridiculous. They are the most boring people. Oh wah I am a white man who has more money than I can spend and I’m so mad about it!
