Well the first person to describe measles was Abu Bakr al-Razi, and he knew more about the disease than RFK Jr despite living >1000 years ago 🤷🏻‍♂️ en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abu_Bak...

RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."

I may have made a mistake in trying to pack and move in approximately the same time frame as the most important grant responses I will write are due. Next couple of weeks are going to be chaotic. That being said, I’m now a homeowner! I will be moving into a very cute condo with a yard for Sammy ❤️

Went to the Bruins game tonight. Can’t decide what was the more Boston experience - getting a (splash of) beer spilled on me by a man with a thick accent or the crowd breaking out in a “Yankees Suck!” chant three times for no discernible reason.

I’m going to Nashville for 2 days soon (before driving to Durham). Any suggestions for places not to miss? I’ve already been told Country Music Hall of Fame and Robert’s Western World (and Bolton’s Hot Chicken). Anything else?

This change (back) means COVID vaccines are covered by insurance.

Mar Hicks@histoftech.bsky.social

As of today, the CDC has changed (reverted) their Covid guidance to make the vaccine recommended for all people over 18. In addition to being a smart public health move, this recommendation also means insurance must cover it. Read more here: www.cdc.gov/covid/hcp/va... Listen to a breakdown here:

Generally the Supreme Court has been extremely deferential to the government claiming “national security” in cases that go before it.

The Washington Post@washingtonpost.com

President Trump said his proposed 250-foot triumphal arch will now be a “top grade” military complex that will house drones, snipers and ammunition “for National Security purposes.” https://wapo.st/4deuPN5
