Years of rolling change to take to the bank. It's so fucking absurd.
It sounds like it? Cause clearly folks with low income never use paper money?
This is how rich people think poor people live, when in reality everyone who's ever been poor knows very well how to live within a budget and stretch every damn dime.
Yet every day someone lectures me how he's "not antivaccine".
This has always been Kennedy's goal.
Being an ACIP member used to mean you were at the top of your field. Now the bare minimum is "this shitty paper didn't actually get retracted but everyone can see it's awful."
there is a type of person who claims authority from a text (Bible, Constitution, a Trump executive order) and will literally swear under oath that they have a 100% exact understanding of the precise wording and intent of that text, but will be completely unable to tell you what it means when asked
"Russian flu," the pandemic that hit in 1977, bears an evolutionary signature of having emerged from a lab, perhaps as part of a failed vaccine effort. Covid, mpox, Ebola, and other influenza pandemics don't. Here's my story on a new way to trace the origins of pandemics. Gift link: nyti.ms/46N0W33

Yep. Back on Twitter many of us were calling him out so of course now he's in a position of power.
Who could have guessed??
Excited to share our latest work! 📝
We measured the fitness effect of 136 AMR genes and found that many are neutral or even beneficial without selection. 🤯🧬
Oxygen availability can flip their fitness and our stochastic model indicates that oxygen fluctuations help maintain them.

The most impt change at #NIH and to US science this year is bigger than grant cancellations— it’s how the agency is governed.
For 75 years NIH has been largely independent of presidential control. That’s changed this year. New piece from me and @nataliebaviles.bsky.social in @nature.com

This is the most bizarre interaction I've ever had with an HHS spokesperson.

There indeed is so much to fight for, and in some countries (looking at you, US), some old fights have become new fights.
One thing (academic) men can do is not participate in manels! It can be uncomfortable at times but it is also still necessary. Here’s my experience: 🧵
Guessing someone who had an online training from a scammer.
Right? They could have specified RD or something that is credentialed but not a physician, but instead brought in "functional".
The Means siblings also push wearables.
That wearable shit is also the Means bread and butter.
RFK Jr is trying to push "functional medicine" quackery into medical school, using nutrition as a trojan horse.
He's the anti-Flexner.
