Opinion | We Ran the C.D.C.: Kennedy Is Endangering Every American’s Health

Nine former directors of the CDC speak out against RFK Jr.

My experience in discussing this topic is that there is very little interest among people about this long term catastrophe - perhaps they can’t relate to it somehow?

Haha, no, sorry, its "The Rest is Politics" a news podcast. I guess it wasn't you then

Hello, I'm a social epidemiologist. I never appear in films. But the things I work on are often mentioned in films or TV, and attributed to genetics

@jowolff.bsky.social was that you mentioned on TRIP question time?

But I hate being put into this impossible position, those who call for USA researchers to join us here don’t put money where their mouth is. Intellectual dishonesty all around

We’d bend over backwards 😊

I’m being trolled once again by the institutions of French research:

-on one hand I’m in the dark about my budgets & can’t spend them, have no office space, have to fix our broken doors, sinks, windows…

-on the other I am to gratefully accommodate USA researchers & figure out how to pay them

🤷‍♀️

They are!

I leave some artichokes go to flower just because the #bees love them so much 😊

Ouch!

Landscape format is loosely painted acrylics. Horizon is one third way up from the bottom, with all of the foreground being bog in dark maroons and oranges. Past it is a strip of low green hills and along the horizon is a lilac mountain mass with a pale blue mass further away to its right. Top half is sunset sky of one large billowing green-grey cloud with white edges surrounded by pinks, oranges, lilacs, sky blues, and white near the mountains at the horizon.

Another painting to share. "Donegal Cloud" was a very small painting of a very big sky, and it came from a time when I had a dog and she and I would sit underneath it in silence. #SpeirGorm #ArtAdventCalendar

Judge orders NIH to restore hundreds of grants cut under Trump William Young calls terminations illegal, berates agency for discrimination

Judge Young said that the NIH grant terminations were rooted in discrimination against racial, sexual, and gender minority groups: “I would be blind not to call it out. My duty is to call it out.” #HealthInequity #DEI

New study alert, just out in SER! 🚨

What really drives gendered occupational choices among adolescents?

➡️It might not be workplace characteristics (e.g., salary), but skill requirements.

‘Course it does 😉
Well done, and well said

I’ve often thought, as an apprenticeship, the PhD allows us to really settle into our introvert skills, & thereby become even less adapted to many of the activities expected of us later

This is going to be great! ping @mkellyirving.bsky.social @ises-epi.bsky.social @kavindigamage.bsky.social

The #USAID funding was used to fund worldwide health & poverty surveillance through data collection programs & by funding analysts

The funding cuts have destroyed any surveillance, so we’re blind to what’s happening on key indicators allowing policy response moving forward

Chart showing that in 2018, the UK was among the worst in Europe for child poverty rates, second only the Greece.

The UK is among the worst nations in Europe for child poverty.

In the UK, 11% of 15-year-olds reported they had skipped a meal in 2022 because there wasn't enough money to buy food.

In the Netherlands and Finland, this number was 3%.

Chart showing projections for child poverty until 2035 where this is projected to reach 36%.

Without ambitious policy change, child poverty is projected to increase dramatically over the next decade.

In fact, should the Government continue with existing policy, our projections suggest child
poverty will hit 33 per cent in 2029-30, a level not seen since 1998-99.
