So a spurious correlation from an observational study is “gold standard science”, but testing vaccines in multiple RCTs with over 30,000 participants each is not?

Live again, wrapping up Mass Effect 2 (maybe starting 3?), as we battle the intractable threat facing the galaxy: childhood cancer (and the Reapers). mvo.live

Trans rights are human rights, and systematically vilifying any group of people for who they are is reprehensible. How we treat the most vulnerable/marginalized shows our true hearts. “Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.”

Live again, streaming Mass Effect 2 for the kids at St. Jude! Come hang out and tune out the news a bit. Give generously at mvo.live (and snag some stickers!)

A lot of people who were panic mongering about a woke cultural revolution are conspicuously quiet about a youth activist denouncing a professor for wrong think and that professor being fired as part of a campaign of public shaming by political leaders.

If we cannot all be on the same page that the sitting president threatening to invade a US city is fascist dictator shit then truly I do not know what to do.

Since 2019, the @relay.fm community has raised over $4 million for the life-saving work of St. Jude. When I stepped foot on its campus with my son in 2009, I had no idea where life was taking us, but I'm thankful it's here. stjude.org/relay

“The often-missed point about sovereign individuals is that not everyone gets to be one. But everyone should aspire to be one, and in the meantime follow one, as they walk down the road to selfdom.” aeon.co/essays/the-s...

This whole saga all happening in @stjude.bsky.social’s back yard makes it all the more unconscionable.

When talking about the flaws of the education system here in the US, there sure is a wide menu to choose from. But lately I think our problems are less about what is taught, how it's taught, etc. and more about a culture which seems to pretend there is a point at which you are "done" with it.

it’s so cool how one zyn’d up frat bro can singlehandedly make a mockery of the entire profession of science, all while gutting it’s funding and sentencing millions to death in the process. like, how do we even begin to address this?

Every reputable expert I know considers mRNA vaccine technology to be one of the most revolutionary advances in medicine in our lifetimes. Its inventors won the Nobel Prize in 2023. Shutting it down now is pointless self-harm to humanity.

the USA built a system of higher education so good that smart/rich people from across the world came here, spending billions to learn here, subsidizing education for Americans while spending money to live in our cities and towns. our government arbitrarily decided we should stop doing that

I am no constitutional scholar, but I can't help but feel that "the President gets to dictate what every university can teach and what every television station should broadcast" is closer to what the founding fathers were worried about when it comes to free speech than trigger warnings on syllabi.

“Hmm” @hotdogsladies.bsky.social

"digital asbestos" is fantastic framing.

In college I was personally introduced to Temple Grandin, said hello and such, but didn’t know who they were until much later in my life.
