Wrapped up moderating the Congressional briefing and stopped by the new statue of Barbara Rose Johns before leaving the Capitol. At 16, she led the walkout that helped pave the way for Brown v. Board. It is powerful to see her standing here in Emancipation Hall.

The best camera is the one you have with you in the moment. And I have to say the iphone 17 pro is a beast.

Good morning from Shenzhen, China where robots sweep the streets and nearly everyone drives an EV car or scooter. This is the tech manufacturing hub of the world.

Rice noodles in a complex chicken sock with fish balls, meat cake, two kinds of mushrooms, shallots, garlic, bok choy, fish sauce, bean chili sauce and fried starch. The best cure for jet lag in Hong Kong.

The bug stops here?: A look at where we are in the fight against antimicrobial resistance New solutions involve using AI, studying wastewater for early detection โ€“ and mining the Tree of Life for compounds that helped in the ancient past.

Great to see Hindustan Times feature our symposium in Bangalore on antibiotic resistance. When it comes to solutions, India is ready to lead. Super piece www.hindustantimes.com/lifestyle/ar...

Absolute chaos at Dulles including the longest immigration lines and bag delays I have ever seen, as the government shutdown approaches the record. (Thankfully global entry helped with at least one aspect today).
