All the way

Meanwhile in Montreal…

I don’t know why this made me laugh as hard as it did

Today I lost an NIH grant training clinicians to do research about intimate partner violence with perinatal women.

More women are murdered in the perinatal period than die of obstetric complications.

I didn't just lose a grant. We lost an entire cohort of people building careers to prevent that.

Me to myself: This is annoying. This conversation is annoying, this person is annoying. I hope I’m hiding it well.

My face:

Glad she is OK but wow sounds like quite a nightmare

CDC Staff Prohibited From Co-Authoring Papers With World Health Organization Personnel It’s just the latest “Orwellian” crackdown on government scientists.

NEW:
“CDC staff should not be co-authors on manuscripts/abstracts with WHO staff,” nor publish papers on work "funded by WHO."

From an interim guidance shared yesterday with the Influenza Division of CDC's National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases.

Measles Outbreak in Texas and New Mexico Sickens Nearly 100 People Texas reported 90 cases this week, while New Mexico reported nine. A majority of the cases have been in a Texas county where vaccination rates have lagged behind the rest of the state.

There likely hundreds of cases, so many not being diagnosed. And many more to come. All preventable.

She is now the princess you see in the second picture. Here eyes were sensitive for about 6 months after treatment but all good now!!

Followed all! Thanks for doing this and I'd love to be added if possible.

It makes me happy you are still doing this Scott!

That's Emily's dog Daisy and I'm not sure.

My cat Cherry had Cat Chlamydia which I didn't even know was a thing before I adopted her. It's an eye infection in cats.

I wanna rock and roll 2 hours tops and party maybe every 14 days

But science is objective, right?
Until you consider
Who gets to be a scientist? What questions are pursued? What answers are accepted? What findings are implemented?
All of these things are political. And so too is denying that they impact on how we understand the world

Time for a taxonomy of reply guys curtesy of @sbarolo.bsky.social and @shrewshrew.bsky.social

For me, being able to put a name on it helps somehow.

To be loved is to be changed

Please don't call what RFK Jr. and Jay Bhattacharya are going to do medieval. It's not medieval. It's nothing like the Middle Ages. People in the Middle Ages were happy to try all kinds of things to not die of the plague and if you'd given them antibiotics and vaccines they would have loved it.

That was a wild time on medtwitter

Dr. Oz’s Sad Trip Down the Rabbit Hole It seems that Dr. Mehmet Oz’s transformation from respected surgeon to deplorable pseudoscience advocate is complete. He recently slandered Dr. Fauci as a “petty tyrant” and then called him “cowardly”...

Just when you thought the bottom had been reached

Dr Oz, "the surgeon-turned TV snake oil salesman-turned politician" now nominated head of CMS, will be responsible for the healthcare of half of Americans and 25% of the budget.

Homeopathy and pseudoscience will not make America healthy again.

Make America Healthy Again lasted less than a Scaramucci

Sure - I have barely posted on twitter for over a year because it is such a cesspool
