Almost every line of this story would have been simply unbelievable a few months ago: —Pioneering cancer researcher; —Arrested at airport in Boston; —Now indefinite ICE detention in Louisiana; —"Crime": not declaring some frog-embryo samples for research. Read it. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

RFK Jr. thinks that a clinical trial should be done for the entire childhood vaccine schedule. Here’s why that will never happen. 1. You can’t do a randomized trial of something that we already know is safe and effective. There would have to be a placebo group that didn’t get vaxxed. Unethical.

The measles outbreak in Texas is reminding me of the public letter Roald Dahl wrote about losing his daughter to measles in 1962, just before the vaccine was publicly available.

35 years ago today a gunman walked into an engineering classroom at the École Polytechnique in Montreal, separated the women from the men and killed 14 of them. It was the ultimate manifestation of the gender-based bias and violence we still face in STEM today. We must never forget. 👩🏻‍🔬 🧪

This new report by @prisonpolicy.bsky.social offers a nuanced glimpse into jail admissions. We typically know how many admissions happen in a given year, but now we know how many unique individuals are admitted (and how many are repeat admissions). This is a great complement to BJS data.

Since many researchers are here now, I want to draw attention to a publishing opportunity. Special issue of the Sage journal, Inquiry, focused on violence prevention strategies that leverage community-level mechanisms. Deadline is Jan 11 & I can answer questions. journals.sagepub.com/topic/collec...

Experienced detectives (🇩🇪) who believed common rape myths were more likely to have biased views of victim testimony, but the same wasn’t true for new recruits. Interesting example of experience appearing to be associated with worse decision making. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11896-024-09719-1
