Stories are a powerful tool for changing opinions—but they can work both ways, @michaelrulrich.bsky.social reminds us at the SLULaw health law symposium. Have to understand how counterstories may work, bring stories + data to persuade. @busph.bsky.social

#Obergefell // Roe: @profmohapatra.bsky.social reminds us not to think the constitutional backstop will always be there. Diversify strategies: statutory protections anywhere we can get them and in any area of law.

Trump Cuts Target Next Generation of Scientists and Public Health Leaders A core group of so-called disease detectives, who track outbreaks, was apparently spared. But other young researchers are out of jobs.

I’m angry; you should be too. Call your member of Congress every day until they stop this hemorrhaging of scientific and clinical expertise. #Musk #Trump #Vought are making us less safer and making us sicker. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/18/u...

It’s a start!
