“That day we realized what our lab meant to people. We were a symbol of resistance, a symbol of hope,” Nathaniel Raymond said. Hundreds of individual donors rescued @hrl-yalesph.bsky.social from closure, highlighting the urgent need for restored federal science funding: m.yale.edu/dbc3

Hey journalists: are you wondering if this is climate change? I'm one of the like five to ten world experts on this, and I wrote a guide last year to help *you specifically* decide: ecoevorxiv.org/repository/v... (Then I quit my job and never published it) My take: somewhat, but mostly not. (1/2)

Start the timer for the class-action lawsuit against the White House when it turns out this Tylenol thing is totally made up. Right?

Remember that scene in the Lion King when the hyenas and Scar had taken over and Simba was like “yeah sure, we’ll silence that stupid bird and the lionesses as long as we can make a buck?” Me neither.

Where the separate divisions of ANTIFA landed on the beaches of Normandy on June 6, 1944:

🚨 NEW: Climate change is already causing 30,000 deaths per year - a global annual economic loss of $100-350B USD - but the true damage is probably 10x higher. Out TODAY in Nature Climate Change: the first systematic look at the science of "health impact attribution" 🔓 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

This is some Salem Witch Trial-level sabotage at a state university. Free speech and academic inquiry in America is dying.

I'm going all in: if we get RFK out within 30 days of me and Sean writing this, I will - I solemnly swear - Get A Tattoo About It

Life for Palestinians in Gaza has gotten worse under Trump, not better. So where are Jill Stein and Cornel West now? They aren’t leading protests in DC outside the White House, no rallies. Almost like the whole 2024 thing was just performative.

I went to work on my lecture over some ramen and the server asked if I worked in healthcare, because she’s a cancer bioinformatician who can’t find a job and is in now in tenuous visa territory. I’m so sad and angry about this country, and it keeps hitting me at the moments I don’t expect it

You've seen how much damage RFK has done at HHS. RFK is a disorganized, age-addled maniac, and most of his job is PR stunts. I cannot begin to tell you how much damage a Thiel-verse technocrat like O'Neill will do in CDC. Starting with: he will persecute women you know and love for their abortions.

I'm delighted today to announce we're launching the Global Burden of Climate Change Study, an international team effort to standardize estimates of present day death, disability, and illness due to climate change. @chelseaeharvey.bsky.social with the scoop: subscriber.politicopro.com/article/eene...

My latest for @thenation.com: "These attacks on higher education are not uncommon, and we do not have to reach back to distant history to see how they are rooted in the desire to dominate, destroy, and crush political and civic opposition." www.thenation.com/article/acti...

I was one also - will be tough missing some soccer games but not as tough as the fall of free speech.

journalists: i have proofs of our lab's biggest climate-health study in three years and am starting to send it around under embargo. if you didn't just get a pitch from me, and you want one... hi

@saturdaynightlive.bsky.social needs to announce #coldplay as the season opening band right now.

Brad Lander: "I also need to thank some of the most important people in my life and on this campaign—I mean, of course, the NYT editorial board. Just kidding, of course: I love Wordle and Connections, but I really urge the Times to cancel their new feature 'Editorial Riddles.' No one likes those."

A top staffer to Sen. Tina Smith emailed Sen. Mike Lee’s top staffers on Monday about “how much additional pain you’ve caused on an unspeakably horrific weekend” Full emails below

Thank you to Secretary @hillaryclinton.bsky.social for highlighting the critical work of the HRL at @yalesph.bsky.social - please consider supporting these efforts to save the children of Ukraine!

These are masked men, with weapons, no warrants and this is extrajudicial abduction, and with local police aiding and abetting this thuggery. It is illegal under international human rights law. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/07/u...

Breaking news: An immigration judge ruled Milford high school student Marcelo Gomes Da Silva should be released from ICE detention.

Resistance to tyranny and kakistocracy is our patriotic duty, not resigning. It’s using our privilege to stand up for what’s right. Watch Miami weatherman John Morales use his stage to educate and warn about Trump and Republican attacks on science.

What an inspiring speech - science and funding for science changes and saves lives.

Is the Administration not interested in curing cancer? Is the Administration not trying to prevent a pandemic? Is the Administration not interested in mental health?

It was an honor to be a small part of this rally. Now, more than ever, we must do the work for a more just world.

This is a huge massive mistake. Almost two years ago I rounded up all the data we have - and we have A LOT - on why COVID-19 vaccination during pregnancy protects both the parent and the child. www.wsj.com/health/healt...

Last night the Planning Board of Milton did the right thing by providing Town Meeting with a compliant plan for MBTA Communities. I’m hopeful for the future of our town and the region, and I look forward to reviewing the plan on Tuesday at our Select Board meeting.

1/ 🧵 RFK Jr. recently claimed that "none of the vaccines on the CDC’s childhood recommended schedule were tested against an inert #placebo." This isn't true, but the issue is more nuanced than a soundbite allows. Let's break it down. 👇

With spring bringing warmer, sunnier days, it is also triggering seasonal allergies for some people. Swipe to learn how climate change is related to seasonal allergies and how to deal with them. 1/3

Proud Yale employee here to say I’m here for @harvard.edu and Pres. Garber’s strong defense of higher education. Universities make America great. Higher Ed will #standtogether!

You guys. Watch this and share this. This is the TRUE STORY of the effect of these #publichealth cuts. Thanks to @brindabee.bsky.social and even more so to these brave veterans for speaking up. youtu.be/6vUypKX39q4

"You have to throw trans people under the bus to win elections as a Democrat, trans political ads work, the public is reacting to trans people poorly" Meanwhile in Wisconsin after tens of millions in anti-trans ads against WI-SC candidate who did not flinch:

I refer to growing up in the acid rain/ quicksand/impending nuclear conflict era as being "classically trained" in generalized anxiety

I’ve been a subscriber to @theatlantic.com for several years and intend to continue subscribing. I don’t agree with everything they publish - which is all the more reason to read them.

The mindset we’ll have to confront head on if we ever hope to realize housing abundance in Massachusetts.

When I wrote my camps book, people sometimes had difficulty understanding how concentration-camp regimes were proud of what they were doing and wanted attention for it, even as they also hoped to keep many aspects secret and terrorize vulnerable classes. Anyway, this is what that looks like.

A lot can happen in five months. 🇺🇸

• Women scientists receive THREE TIMES more personal attacks online than men when discussing science. • Women scientists are twice as likely to be sexually harassed online. • Women scientists receive 40% fewer invites to be expert sources for media, even with more qualifications. 1/

Very sorry to lose my father-in-law this week. If you’re looking for a different kind of news story, his life story is quite a ride, and I know he’d love to know people were reading about him.

This is Winston Churchill visiting the White House during World War II. Funny how he isn’t wearing a suit either. Almost like he was a wartime leader defending his country from being slaughtered and wiped out by an authoritarian aggressor.

Great review of critical work taking place at @yalesph.bsky.social on #Sudan - work now threatened because of federal research cuts.

Watching the opening of 4 Nations and apparently America is in a Cold War with the Soviet Canadians? Very weird opener.
