Hy @birbigs.bsky.social and @mulaney.bsky.social and Dan Mintz: THANKS for the great concert at Pinewood Bowl in Lincoln! Great show, lovely evening, and the trains and cicadas (aka crickets) just added to the vibe :) #LNK
hey @hankgreen.bsky.social - as a former high school psych tchr and current college of ed. tchr, now seems like a good time to let you know how valuable your work is to me and others. THANKS for being a thoughtful, honest, and (very) productive voice for humane scientific thinking.
Hey @nytimes.com and @nytwirecutter.bsky.social - love your write ups, but you may want to look up "learning styles" research. Summary: learning styles were never a thing, they aren't a thing now, and everyone should stop pretending they are a thing! ref: onlineteaching.umich.edu/articles/the...

This statement from the CDC is likely to cause some parents to avoid vaccines for their kids, and more kids will die. Ignorance (possibly motivated/deliberate ignorance) of scientific and statistical reasoning has consequences. @altcdc.altgov.info
The U.S. CDC just published a narrative that indicates it does not understand scientific inference. "The claim "vaccines do not cause autism" is not an evidence-based claim because studies have not ruled out the possibility that infant vaccines cause autism." www.cdc.gov/vaccine-safe...

🚨 HEADS UP: If you haven't submitted a comment on the OMB proposal yet, there's still time - but it's running out! There are only 5 days left to push back against Russell Vought's attempt to give political appointees unprecedented control over federal research funding. Take Action: zurl.co/w6DcW
