Can confirm. Also @dm3p-social.bsky.social

"The president exploited your vulnerability by lying and saying he would reduce consumer costs, then did everything in his power to destabilize the economy."

😂 It's not slander if it's true.

There should be some way to stop a president from singlehandedly turning the US economy into a pump and dump shitcoin scheme.

Hard to believe a society could forget the devastation of an epidemic that kills babies.

I said "out of the Republican candidates."

Even Nikki Haley was the most qualified Republican candidate.

I was having some issues earlier with eRA and the NDA. Apparently now you can't have a non-institutional email for Login.gov, even though originally they specifically instructed to not use institutional email.

I think he cut the scientific roles to distract from the regulatory role cuts, with the added bonus of pushing more scientists into the private workforce so he can hire good people and pay them less than he would have otherwise.

Welp. I'm a postdoc whose NIH funding source has just been cancelled in a mass grant termination targeting Harvard. We've been using these funds to study how puberty affects the brain and adolescent mental health.

Errors. Call them errors ffs. They're not hallucinations they're not lies. Call them errors. This dumbass personification of a fancy prediction tool is only reinforcing the idea that these things really are intelligent and not just a computer program.

I'm from Louisiana. Oil money has a stranglehold there.

I just submitted this video to the Nikon Small World in Motion competition. Today is the last day to upload yours! 😉

What DEI threatens isn’t merit. It’s monopoly. Political science professor Hakeem Jefferson argues for DEI's importance to de-monopolizing universities.

A colleague at Stanford’s business school used The Stanford Daily to argue—poorly—against DEI. The piece was riddled with historical errors and left one searching for fact, so I broke my public writing hiatus to respond.

I hope you’ll read and share the piece.

In my mind it looks like it's made out of the red wax that comes off the outside of a Babybel cheese.

really great talk!! and the trainee turnout sends a very clear signal that there is a growing interest for improving science communication skills for Spanish-speaking communities 🔥

Boycotting the grocery store until they start buying an equivalent volume of groceries from me

He lived in a 40 room mansion and threw dinner parties? I'm just saying I don't know if that really captures the reality of this situation.

With exile at least you are free to be in any other country besides one? This seems more like being kidnapped to a foreign country and imprisoned there.

#skymusings: how can we shift the narrative away from “blaming physicians” to advocating for change in the challenging health care systems in which we work when we are trying to always do what is best for the patients even when outcomes are not what we wanted or expected #medsky

I think one angle could be to more intentionally nurture emotional maturity during training (or as CME). If effective, this could reduce fragility associated with being resistant to change, along with a slew of other problems.

Journal of the Academy of Public Health

This is NOT a real journal. No such thing as The Academy of Public Health. Creation of RFK et al to allow false nonscientific claims to the public to support their bias without peer review or factual data. As they now control all communications out of NIH, CDC, FDA, this is dangerous to US health.

YouTube video by Associated Press LIVE: Cory Booker speaks on the Senate floor

A Black man just beat the record for the longest filibuster, defeating the record previously held by a man who filibustered the literal Civil Rights Act.

As the time ticked over, Cory Booker announced he did it not out of hatred for who he opposed, but out of love for those who supported him.

Congratulations to Judge Susan Crawford on her victory, and to the people of Wisconsin for electing a judge who believes in the rule of law and protecting our freedoms.

I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.

THIS is outrageous and scary! RFK making his own journal that appears to be associated with a medical society.There is no such thing as the Academy of Public Health! They can use this to make false claims in medicine and science, including for vaccines. These are not peer reviewed nor scientific!
