E-bike display, showing 15,195 miles on the odometer.

My Tern HSD gets a ton of use (just passed 15,000 miles and closing in on 25,000 km) on all sorts of trips that I'm happy not to do by car. About 13,000 of the miles are on the same Gates belt and Enviolo hub (I swapped out the 11-speed drivetrain). I like it (except for the shifter)

Kennedy Says He Told C.D.C. to Change Website’s Language on Autism and Vaccines

If anyone thought otherwise they haven’t been paying attention. RFKjr must go.

Two Jack-o'-lanterns on concrete front porch steps, in front of a blue,wood-framed glass door. The Jack-o'-lantern in front has a frightened expression and is looking to its left. The Jack-o'-lantern behind it is a carved silhouette of Derpy Cat.

H5N1 detected in Texas dairy herd; researchers can't pinpoint source of California child's illness

Oh hey, H5N1 in Texas dairy cows! Are you a new spillover or have you always been there, undetected b/c of insufficient testing?

It’s migration season, almost flu season, & we’ve never had a handle on the cow outbreak. Bird flu is here & we ignore at our peril

Write members of Congress - Will COVID-19 vaccines be available this fall? It is clear that HHS Secretary RFK Jr. is on a dangerous and fast-moving path to make COVID-19 vaccines totally unavailable here in the U.S. With COVID-19 cases on the rise in many parts of the US an...

#RFKJr wants to take away #COVID #vaccines (and then move on to #childhood #preventable #diseases). You can see it in the works now. Write to your member of #Congress now. This makes it easy to do so. @defendpublichealth.bsky.social actionnetwork.org/letters/writ...

I’ve heard from a couple of messaging strategists now that people shouldn’t post so much about COVID19 vaccines because it’s “divisive”.

I am here to say that I do not give a damn what is popular.

I will never ignore scientific evidence for the sake of expediency, and neither should anyone else.

Thank you for writing the article and for sharing it here! I wasn't aware of this problem. Now I am and will help spread the word!

The Bird Flu Story No One Is Telling Bird flu fears have focused on the poultry and dairy industries and human health. But wild animals are threatened, too—at scales no one fully understands

Amid bird flu fears about egg prices, viral milk and human pandemic risks, there's a piece missing--the impact on wildlife, which I covered for @sciam.bsky.social : 🧪 🪶 www.scientificamerican.com/article/bird...

There's 3 days left to tell SANDAG to spend less on freeways and more on bikes and trains:

Thanks for the nudge! I submitted my suggestions.

I think it would be wonderful if there could be a path to democratizing similar therapeutic peptides via decentralized production (in situ) with bacteria used in fermented foods (such as lactic acid bacteria).

Maybe best (for most of us who aren't trained veterinarians) not to handle any wild animals anywhere?

Fascinating study about a truly terrifying virus for cats. This is a big deal not just for veterinary infectious diseases, but virology in general. Just a crazy situation.

I appreciate your help. My email is jmoore@gsdbio.org.
Thanks for relentlessly sharing connections to the latest research findings about avian influenza viruses!

Thanks! I am not yet able to access the full text (of this 👇?).

Thanks for suggesting this review. It's an understatement to say that it's unfortunate to find such articles behind a paywall!
