Asymptomatic: The Silent Spread of COVID-19 and the Future of Pandemics Asymptomatic: The Silent Spread of COVID-19 and the Future of Pandemics

Today's @nytimes.com dialogue with Ross Douthat & Jay Bhattacharya is tough sledding. I wrote a book on how silent transmission made COVID harder to stop and drove misleading narratives. The interview continues to mislead as a means to seize more power.

Trust in science was destroyed not by scientists, but by the right and rightwing billionaires. I wrote a rebuttal to Douthat’s bad article on Tue w/out even seeing it.

Bhattacharya did this.

Putting an arsonist in charge of putting their fire out is insanity. 1/

Incredibly important points made here about our current reality. It seems so dissonant to go to work and raise our families while people are being murdered by the state in the streets. And that is actually the point. #DualState

There is no bottom--not only is this sick, vile, and lacking of any human empathy, but it is a not subtly veiled threat that anyone who opposes him can be murdered (and a green light to his extremist base to carry it out). The only derangement is our president's, and anyone who can condone this

Risks and Benefits of Clinical Diagnosis Around the Time of Dementia Onset Diagnostic delay in dementia is common in the U.S. Drivers of diagnostic delay are poorly understood, but appear related to misconceptions about dementia, stigma, concerns about autonomy, the nature of the diagnostic process, and provider-related ...

📣 @bryandjames.bsky.social is hiring a postdoc at @rushalzheimers.bsky.social. This work examines predictors and consequences of a timely #dementia diagnosis using CMS claims linked to cohort data. Could be great for an #hpss #statssky #episky #hspr #geronsky PhD student finishing up this year.

The highlight of #GSA2025 was watching my friend and colleague @beyoung40.bsky.social give her speech for the James Jackson Mentorship Award , about her path from being mentored to becoming an exemplary mentor. Dr. Barnes has inspired SO many people. Lisa, you’re the best!

I had a blast participating in the @geronsociety.bsky.social #GSA2025 Epi of Aging IG debate on the “Biggest Baddest Bias in Aging Research” as “The Confounder 😎” I got SMOKED in the final vote (3%!) as @sfackley.bsky.social ran away with it at 85% but still fun! 😆

While the government was shut down, 379 NIH study section meetings (containing 24,380 grant applications) were postponed. NIH is committed to getting these reviewed, but please be patient and understanding with staff, as this is a complex and heavy lift.

For those of you attending #GSA2025 in Boston, consider this panel of #NIH awardees, Drs. Alden Gross, @mariaglymour.bsky.social , @sfackley.bsky.social , and @bryandjames.bsky.social. Please remember to tag #geronsky and @geronsociety.bsky.social in your posts.

Everyone on this site knows this so this is posting to an echo chamber but it really is shocking on a daily (hourly) basis how we seem to be powerless to letting this man assume absolute power. I just can’t believe how many Americans support this

Im definitely rooting for you all to beat the Eagles 🤞 Keep it up

Today my @nytimes.com colleagues and I are launching a new series called Lost Science. We interview US scientists who can no longer discover something new about our world, thanks to this year‘s cuts. Here is my first interview with a scientist who studied bees and fires. Gift link: nyti.ms/3IWXbiE

I know a lot of neuropsychologists—all of you should be voting for @drmlamar.bsky.social as the head of INS! Any professional society would be lucky to have her as president.
