Gandhi wearing a dhoti to discuss India's independence with Mountbatten. Leaders represent their people.

When Gandhi met Mountbatten for talks around India's independence he wore a dhoti to symbolize solidarity with his people. Leaders do that.

Disgusting harassment of a man whose country is fighting in a war.

Ax falls on elite group of Ph.D.s training to lead U.S. public health labs Most of the fellows in CDC’s highly competitive Laboratory Leadership Service were fired last weekend

The CDC has an ultra-competitive 2-year program to train "the best of the best" to lead public health labs.
Most of the current class were terminated over the weekend. www.science.org/content/arti... (by @meredithwadman.bsky.social)

RFK Jr. thinks that a clinical trial should be done for the entire childhood vaccine schedule. Here’s why that will never happen.

Nearly every medicine we benefit from started with NIH-funded research. Early discovery work starts in academia.

Immunotherapies?
Gene therapy for rare diseases?
Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s medicines?
Vaccines?
Novel cancer treatments?
Psychiatric medicines?

You betcha.

LBCC football coach apologizes for ‘dumb’ message he sent to prominent progressive journalist The 11-year coach said the message has reflected poorly on the school but stood by his criticism of the “journalist’s integrity.” The college has not said how it will handle the situation.

A Long Beach college football coach sent me a threatening DM from his main account. I posted about it and it's getting some pickup from local publications.

It is so good! 🎵

The eradication of disease through vaccination is likely the greatest achievement of mankind.

Please remember that when the barrage of bullshit begins.
