A five shop counter with a well loved copy of Diving Monterey on top

It's nice to know I'm still loved in Monterey. This is my book of diving maps for sale at Bamboo Reef. Jealous of the gorgeous pictures coming out of the area lately.

Bat flies into woman's mouth in Arizona, costing her nearly $21,000 in medical bills Erica Kahn, who lives in Massachusetts, wasn't insured when she had a close encounter with the flying mammal at Glen Canyon National Recreation Area.

There is a whole lot to unpack from this. Insane #medical expenses; illogical #healthcare system; #infectious_disease concerns; folks chewing on bats (but not the late Ozzy)... www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

UMich cancels doctoral epidemiology program admissions for 2026 The University of Michigan School of Public Health will not admit a 2025-2026 admissions cycle cohort to its PhD in Epidemiologic Sciences program.

People thought I was overreacting when I said Trump’s list of “banned” words meant epidemiology was itself defacto being banned.

But this week U Michigan announced they aren’t even accepting applications for the 2026 epi PhD admissions cycle.

I NEED to tell you the story of Tae Heung “William” Kim.

He's a graduate student at Texas A&M where he's working on a vaccine for Lyme disease.

He's a *legal permanent resident* of the United States.

And he's been in ICE detention for 12 days & counting, transferred Tuesday to South Texas.

Drowning Doesn’t Look Like Drowning Drowning is not the violent, splashing call for help that most people expect.

Thanks for the reminder @janemunday.bsky.social. Every summer, I repost this article DROWNING DOES NOT LOOK LIKE DROWNING. To date, I know of FOUR kids who were saved after someone who'd clicked on the link learnt how to spot actual drowning. Take time to read and pass on.

South Sudan faces the world's largest current cholera outbreak. Remote communities, isolated by limited roads and rainy-season flooding, must lead their own response—compounded by extreme heat over the summer, closed schools, insecurity, aid cuts, and spillover from conflict-hit Sudan.

Yes, What We Pay Teachers Matters Paying teachers well is an essential part of a healthier public education system

It's Teacher Appreciation Week. Here's how to appreciate teachers: pay them better.

I had a blast visiting @iddonews.bsky.social ! Thanks so much for your hospitality. You have a lot of amazing people doing amazing things!
