First public health, now weather modeling. They are attempting to keep up in the dark and hoping chaos ensues.

@onlinekyne.bsky.social I am listening to your book. I absolutely love it. I wish I had this book when I was a kid. I had math trauma as a kid/teenager and being a girl it was chalked up to that. It took a while but statistics clicked & I am an epidemiologist. I find math fascinating.

If CDC can not share the flu data with WHO can individual states share it? I know it would not be complete and be mostly from states that are not supportive of what is happening?

I had twins 21 years ago and only did a 10 day stay in the NICU for feeders and growers and making sure they could breath and eat. 50,000 each. I would still be paying that off if I had to pay out of pocket.

Right!! But it was never about the babies. Just another way of controlling women and preventing them from economic freedom.

I was thinking about our food safety this morning when I was making my smoothing using spinach and frozen berries. How much longer before we are not made aware of e.coli or hep A outbreaks. I know it is a collaborative effort. This is another thing to make Americans less safer.

Oh my goodness with all of the punches coming from every direction I completely forgot how we collaborate with the WHO to decide what the predominate strains we will vaccinate against. This is crucial now more than ever.

🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

As hypocritical as pre ACA when some business would not cover birth control on the employee sponsored health insurance, but would cover erectile disfunction drugs.

This is quickly turning into Idiocracy. Sad when satire becomes real life.
