Trump’s EPA just eliminated its entire research arm—the “heart and brain” of the agency—and is laying off 3,700 workers.

That’s 1,155 scientists, chemists, and biologists gone.
Less science. More pollution.

This isn’t reform. It’s sabotage.

My phrenology head suffered a head injury in the move — alas, he will forever have a skull fracture, but nothing a bit of ceramic glue will not resolve

Goodness. Hope you’re safe, Jeff. The videos look really bad

Today's ACIP meeting is usually a time where experts come together to inform the future of vaccines. That is not what today will be. That is not what we can stand behind. The AAP will continue to recommend its own childhood vaccine schedule -- just as we have since the 1930s

We moved tables one time and the treasurer can’t speak of tablegate without a content warning first

This is a very good thread. There are a lot of opinions about how conferences should work written by people who have no practical experience organizing a large scientific conference.

The AV/contract issue is such a big thing. I can’t plug in a damn extension cord without being charged at some!

Michael Anton Was a Menswear Writer — And He Hated Trump’s Fashion A dive into the weird world of StyleForum reveals the secrets of “conservative business dress.”

I spent many years on a menswear forum with Michael Anton, director of policy planning in Trump's administration. My editors asked if I'd be interested in writing something on him. I have so many stories to tell; this is only a small bit of our shared menswear world

Lmfao.

Good lord JP is an embarrassment but this was shockingly bad even for his brand of vapid pedantry

If you are a real social scientist, it is very hard to maintain the claim that all evidence of systemic racism is not real science. Much of it is published in top-ranked peer-reviewed journals in Bhattacharya's field of economics. He can either do MAGA, or science, but not both.

❌ FALSE: “For 20 years…we were directing Alzheimer’s research to one hypothesis. And any other hypotheses were shut down.” - Sec. Kennedy

Over the last decade, less than 14% of new National Institutes of Health (NIH) Alzheimer’s projects focused on amyloid beta as the therapeutic target. 🧵(1/4)

Exciting! I know uses/cost will vary for UK but we did put together two related CME pieces:

Every single time I think these MAHA charlatans can’t get more insulting, damned if they don’t find a way to somehow get worse.

My god

The reckoning for Trump’s tariffs is coming and he’s going to try and calm down a panicked nation with a brain full of moldy pudding.

Thank you! I have @billmiller-epi.bsky.social to thank for any claim to epi knowledge I have. His clinical epidemiology course at UNC remains one of the best courses I’ve ever taken — much of it on an overhead projector circa 2011 or so 😂

That’s very kind of you to say, thank you Simon! It was fun to be on that side of the interview for a change.

YouTube video by Neurology Journal Understanding Blood-Based Biomarkers in Alzheimer Disease

After an “update in cognitive & behavioral neurology” talk at AAN, I was asked to chat on the Neurology podcast (also no bsky but my request to change that has been noted!) about some of the content. We focused on plasma biomarkers. Still can’t listen to myself lol.

Part 1 focused on patient selection challenges. Part 2 will focus on health system readiness. Tara Carlisle and myself were co-first authors on these and benefited greatly from our senior author, Kirk Daffner.

Antiamyloid Monoclonal Antibodies in Alzheimer’s Disease, Part 1: Patient Selection | The Journal of Neuropsychiatry and Clinical Neurosciences The availability of monoclonal antibodies directed against amyloid beta, for use as disease-modifying therapies for Alzheimer’s disease (AD), represented a major shift in the field of AD research and ...

The only description of VP I’ll be accepting today or for the foreseeable future

Lord, I see what you’ve done for others and I want that for myself

Congrats that is awesome!

If you’re taking co-signers for this piece count me in. Science denialism for seemingly trivial things has a direct line to this stuff and I hate it here

i am tired of being told i must coddle these people. no! they are willfully ignorant! and their standard bearer, RFK, is a monstrous narcissist who is indifferent to death and suffering.

I’ve enjoyed the show a lot. I think once I just gave up the notion that the timelines wouldn’t match cannon and some character arcs would differ, it’s quite good. I feel like they make sure to include key points and do it well — Rhuidean is a perfect example

Godspeed, we are closing 5/23 and listing our current house 6/1. I nearly had a melt down panic attack even thinking of listing with me, my wife, a 5 and 8 year old, and two dogs. I may have a panic attack even thinking about getting moved out oh good there it is lol sadface

Had a great time talking to a dedicated and packed crowd of neurologists for the annual updates in neurology course. Covered the new diagnostic criterias for AD, therapeutic updates, blood based biomarkers, and the new functional cog disorder checklist.

Likewise! Always good to see a strong showing of ADRD expertise representing at AAN.
