From the @theconversation.com today by @maggielevenstein.bsky.social & @johnkubale.bsky.social “Data that taxpayers have paid for and rely on is disappearing – here’s how it’s happening and what you can do about it.”‬ #academicsky #data #umich @icpsr.bsky.social @umisr.bsky.social

What happened today at #Emory & #CDC should outrage us all. We once settled our disagreements through debate—but now, fueled by misinformation and disinformation, we are more divided than ever and innocent lives are being lost. The state of affairs in our country is truly heartbreaking.

Come be my colleague. This is a for-real #health #equity position. I can attest to the commitment that Jefferson and Jefferson Health has maintained to this work. I have too many PhD students so now you can have some! 😜 #episky #publichealth jeffersonhealth.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/Thomas...

Behaviour change is often overrated as the ultimate solution to improve health because without social, economic & structural environments that facilitate rather than obstruct healthy choices, behaviour change remains a privilege reserved for those who have the resources to remove the obstructions.

Canadians make up the largest proportion—nearly 28 percent—of international travelers visiting Florida. They also comprise the largest number of international visitors for the entire United States. But that comfortable relationship may be taking a turn.

I worry that not enough of a big deal is being made about how long-term the devastation of these budget cuts to our scientific and health agencies will be, beyond the absolute ruin they will cause in the acute period.

Powerful action plea to not stop research by @lkfazio.bsky.social in @nature.com: “Scientists can’t solve the politicization of science on our own” In lieu of ‘systemic solutions’ “social scientists still have some options to continue research on targeted topics” www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Hurricane season starts June 1 and if you live in a Gulf state, you need to watch this. It’s worse than you might think. The few employees still left at FEMA admit: they are not prepared. Not enough staff. Not enough supplies. Not enough leadership. Plan accordingly.

Check this chart. Purple line: NIH actual budget (as passed by Congress) after 2000. This is in real (inflation-adjusted) dollars. The Trump/Vought proposal for 2026 (yellow) is catastrophic, for US science and medical cures for Americans. That's a massive drop.

disparate impact might be the closest legal acknowledgement of structural racism we have. so, of course they're going to attack it because denying structural racism is at the core of colorblindness, white innocence, victimhood, and nostalgia, racism, resegregation, and whitewashing history
