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.

With an anti-science conspiracy theorist leading the US Department of Health and Human Services, preventative action is critical to protecting your health and the health of your community.
A good place to start would be getting back into the practice of regularly wearing a mask.
We are deeply saddened by the passing of Dr. Dickson Despommier.
A brilliant scientist, storyteller, and friend, he shared his vast knowledge and infectious enthusiasm with all who listened.
We will miss him dearly. Our heartfelt condolences go out to all who knew and loved him.

C.D.C. Posts, Then Deletes, Data on Bird Flu Spread Between Cats and People The data, which appeared fleetingly online on Wednesday, confirmed transmission in two households. Scientists called on the agency to release the full report.
Wow. So not only were several bird flu studies left out of todayβs CDC Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, some data on bird flu briefly appeared in the online report and then was quickly removed.

The cancers that the HPV vaccine is preventing can just be awful. It's tragic to think someone may have to go through this because we stopped believing in medicine.
