Why we keep going Today thousands of health workers at the CDC and FDA lost their jobsβ€”effective immediately.

@ylepidemiologist.bsky.social
is right. You can humiliate and fire us. But we will not stay down. Because we truly believe in our mission. We fight for people. We fight for kids. For the right to survive and the hope to thrive.

Goodnight friends. Get some rest.

β€˜I became an optimist the night my wife died’: a science writer on loss and letting go of rationalism Sumit Paul-Choudhury had always prided himself on his critical thinking, until his wife was diagnosed with cancer and he was forced to rethink his life from scratch
