Delighted to have a scientist volunteer for the 3/20 date of my podcast! Starting to look into April.
Indeed. New grants are not getting funded, already funded grants are not getting paid, and non-competitive renewals are being held up.
Focusing on the top line budget, instead of looking at what is really happening on βthe groundβ is deeply misguided.
Given the renewed interest in glyphosate, here's my piece on the chemical and how we know that it almost certainly does not cause cancer:

George Washington required his troops be inoculated against smallpox β that decision helped win the Revolution! Public health leadership isnβt new. Itβs presidential. Honoring George Washington this Presidentsβ Day for leading with courage and vision.π¦ #WeThePeopleVax
ive been buying the powder since i found your channel, this would be great if so
watching a recent virology lecture it reminds me of the glycoprotein spikes like ha/na on influenza
yes, but what if the person who decides this thinks it's not in the manufacturer's interest to keep you alive once the fire starts?
came here to ask this, what is the limit for humans?
Virology 2026 is here! Dr. Racanielloβs class, taught every spring at Columbia University and made available online...free, for anyone who wants to learn. Tap in! Tell a friend! Share widely!
first one ive missed in a while, but i like that it's available to stream right away to catch up later
No ads. No paywalls. No sponsors shaping the message.

Someone is impersonating our director, Karen Ernst.
Her only Bluesky handle is @stpkernst.bsky.social. Please block and report impersonators.
Ain't our first rodeo with internet trolls.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has said that we need to stop trusting experts, but a recent recommendation by RFK Jr.βs vaccine advisory committee shows why trusting experts is still a good idea.

Proud to be part of @saveamericamvmt.bsky.social & grateful to my amazing, courageous colleagues for speaking up on behalf of vaccines and public health. Trump/MAHA efforts to overhaul the childhood vaccine schedule endangers our families & our health.

Norovirus is a cool virus because it doesn't have a lipid envelope. That means itβs an incredibly sturdy virus.
In addition to causing violent vomiting, diarrhea, & stomach cramping, it can be shed in stool for 2 weeks, AND hand sanitizers are ineffective. FUN!

In a new video, The Save America Movementβs Science & Health Committee, chaired by Dr. Angela Rasmussen, brings together experts to sound the alarm on the Trump administrationβs push to rewrite the childhood vaccine schedule. β¬οΈβ¬οΈβ¬οΈ
I'm thrilled, i've been submitting guesses for over a year now or close to it. And, one time another John won and I thought it was me but found out it wasn't, so glad there wasn't any ambiguity this time. The new edition looks great too
I stopped by The Incubator to have a little chat with my PhD mentor @microbetv.bsky.social about H5N1 bird flu.
I guess Iβm all grown up as a virologist now that my teacher is asking me questions, but as Prof. Racaniello taught me, you should never stop learning β€οΈπ¦
If RFK Jr.βs CDC now promoting the lie that vaccines cause autism while he personally profits off said lie isnβt a conflict of interest, I donβt know what is.
Our health agencies are now full-blown propaganda machines.
Today is a dark day in the USA.

I recently gave a talk at Cornell and sat down with Dr. Leifer for her "Immune" podcast. I really enjoyed our wide-ranging conversation, from how I got started in science, how immunity shapes evolution, pandemic risk, and, the current state of US science.

Kristian Andersen from Scripps Research Institute joins Cindy to talk about how he got interested in virus evolution, how the immune system drives viral adaptation, and what we can learn from this research to better prepare us for the next pandemic.ππ
