It’s just sad that the CDC is trying to warn people that pregnancy makes one much more vulnerable to flu without saying the V word. Get your flu shot and your Covid update.

Some cities it's just not worth fucking with

The plain fact of it is thus: the Trump administration wants to re-segregate higher education. It is a racist project straight-up-no-chaser. Accommodating any of this puts you on the wrong side of history, makes you a collaborator in this project. ballsandstrikes.org/law-politics...

Abdul El-Sayed is the kind of champion we need for American higher education. 🔥🔥🔥 Let’s Go! #HigherEdVoter #DefendHigherEd

Rabies is a deadly virus primarily transmitted through saliva in the form of animal bites. But it's highly preventable and treatable. Swipe through some frightening facts about rabies and tips for prevention and post-exposure treatment @publichealthpod.bsky.social open.spotify.com/episode/1Utt...

🚨 A federal judge has halted Trump's attempts to close the Beltsville Agricultural Research Center in MD.   For decades, experts at BARC have protected our food & farmers, including from threats like cyclospora.   We'll keep working to protect BARC & these dedicated civil servants.

Not mentioned about this unethical study is "why Guinea-Bissau"? The trial is not to test efficacy - we already know it's effective - it's to test non-specific effects. There is *zero* grounds to do that in a country with high risk of HepB - if UoSD is hell-bent on doing a study, do it in Denmark.

The US medical system is not even accessible to those with good insurance who are proactive about seeking care. And those who most need it will never be able to jump through all the hoops it takes. It’s just really fucked up how much we all pay for an awful system.

This is not "a controversial vaccine trial," it's biological warfare, conducted by European researchers on African infants. It's imperialism, racism, eugenics, and the hubris of incredibly stupid people. It's denying vaccines to newborns! In what fuckin universe is this a "vaccine trial"?

the other thing is that this is a totally incoherent and arbitrary standard for deciding who has rights and who doesn't. you could say the same, for instance, of alito's vision of inviolate "religious liberty" or expansive gun rights.

Requiring scientists to be political neutral is to require scientists to shut up when the facts are inconvenient.

BREAKING: The Trump administration is asking the Supreme Court to allow essential health care to be withheld from transgender people in federal prisons. Denying medically-necessary care to any incarcerated person is cruel and unusual punishment — period.

lol my flight got diverted because of a medical emergency and they landed us in reykjavik in the middle of the night and deplaned us and sent us through passport control and then the crew vanished and then british airways sent us links to book an overnight hotel room but for a hotel at heathrow

The real “brain drain” is not the handful of high-profile scientists taking a top position abroad. It's the international scholars who have to leave the US halfway through their postdoc, or the international students who never apply for grad school in the US because of visa policies

These centers are the guy who thinks hot young women aren’t showing up to the bar he stocked with weird dude things because pink-haired woke commie broads won’t let them.

Meanwhile you all are making so much money, hand over fist, from the scientific community that you can ignore a mystery "unpaid invoice" for 5 years before noting..... 7/n

It would be nice if you could reasonably count on the weather forecast to be accurate like it used to be, but (just like everything he touches) Trump fucked it up SO MUCH you can’t even plan correctly for a weekend trip you pack for the night before.

Anyone calling the refusal to compromise on trans rights a "purity test" can get into the bin as far as I'm concerned

Portland and Austin work day and night to advertise themselves as weird. Baltimore effortlessly rolls out of bed just being weirder than either.

Why order food at the farmer’s market and then complain about the price when it was clearly posted on the sign you read before ordering it? If it’s too much, just don’t order it. Why make yourself mad over something that is a choice? 🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️😂 Some people are hilariously ridiculous.

grape nuts darth what is happening there

What do we want? Diarrhea!!! (Apparently) When do we want it? Forever!!!

I wonder what else he is scared of that resembles a button

When Salk developed the polio vaccine, “Church bells tolled, factory whistles blew. People ran into the streets weeping…Eisenhower invited Jonas Salk to the White House, where he choked up while thanking Salk for saving the world's children” Today we have RFK Jr 😢 www.npr.org/sections/npr...

Past American dominance in science is not due to a few dozen “top scholars.” It’s due to America 🇺🇸 spending ENORMOUSLY more on science than other countries and distributing it widely. Canada 🇨🇦 boasting about attracting “top talent” of a few dozen people is not serious. And not US “brain drain.”

It's not just tumbling enrollment. Graduate programs rely on foreign students to sustain *critical mass.* Many (if not most) would collapse after a sudden 30% drop in enrollment. They think they're creating space for white, U.S.-born students, but they're actually destroying their own schools.

Not sure you can still call it a department of health. 🤦‍♀️

What a loss. This is a life well lived.

The noblest of professions these days. God speed.

Because it is.

regular reminder that most of the millions of projected deaths from USAID's destruction HAVE NOT HAPPENED YET—which means they can still be prevented. but this is only possible if we demand that democrats prioritize it once in power. it is a moral imperative that we actually act on these numbers
