This is really a nightmare for scientific integrity and public trust. The reputational damage was there before Trump even took office & it's only going to get worse. How can you convince people to enroll in these kinds of studies to improve health & wellness if this is what can happen to their data?

Comparing American hegemony to warsaw pact life under Soviet rule is an amazing step. Carney really is punching (rhetorically) as hard as one can. The China move was a real policy change that follows from this attitude. What's next? CAF in Greenland?

That he did this before Trump speaks? Wow.

New from 404 Media: ICE's facial recognition app, which the agency is using to decide who to detain and deport, misidentified a woman. Twice.

ICE says results of the app are definitive and override a birth certificate; obviously this case shows the app is inaccurate

The full protocol of the study in Guinea Bissau provides no reassurance. If anything is spells out just how insanely unethical the planned study is. The PI who wrote the protocol tried to defend the indefensible by writing to me directly. I responded publicly.

damn! just thinking about my parents when I was in 9th grade and laughing. Mami could never. I feel bad for the kids honestly, probably sucks to be living on the other side of that.

Folks on the ground are asking me to lift this up because the need is still growing, all around Minnesota.

At least 60,000 murdered in Sudanese city, which resembles ‘a slaughterhouse’ Satellite evidence shows extent of paramilitary massacre in El Fasher

So, El Fasher looks like one of the worst single event atrocities to happen this century so far, but the evidence has come in such a trickle it seems to only now be getting verified

this is really grim

Katie hurray you’ll be there! Absolutely!

Are you on a panel? I’ll find you!

I wish you were too! A la próxima!!!

On my way to the AAA travelling solo with my rambunctious 2 year old and have been helped by strangers on the Thameslink, the Elizabeth line, Heathrow and not that I have ever lost my faith in people but I really do feel it today.

Keep talking about Sudan.

Media are barely mentioning Sudan, where genocidal violence is accelerating. Yale researchers analyzing satellite data warn many of the 250K in El-Fasher may already have been killed-- there's no sign that they made it out. Link to the report:
