I'm Dr. Annie Andrews. I’m a pediatrician, not a politician. But either way I know how to handle people who are full of sh*t. Today I am announcing my campaign for US Senate to replace Lindsey Graham. Share this if you're with me. www.youtube.com/watch?v=J8wM...

How ugly is the State of our Union? There’s a belief that public Education is a plague, healthcare is unnecessary, science is out of step w/ superstition, wages should be at third world levels, the military industrial complex is underfunded, our environment comes 2nd to coal & people are just pawns.

Yes, the stock market may be tanking and our national security apparatus has never been more vulnerable and we're on the verge of both economic collapse and war, but it was all worth it to keep pronouns out of email signatures.

Layoffs at NOAA, which warns us about severe weather Attacking NIH, which finds cures for illnesses Dismantling SSA, which administers Social Security payments Terminating food inspectors and food safety committees at the USDA... The "specifics" of DOGE put us all at risk.

Some people LOVE to tell me that scientists have lost public trust because we were wrong about something, we communicated badly, we swore or cried or acted fallibly human, or whatever. That’s bullshit. Scientists lost public trust because disinformation campaigns like this stole it & eradicated it.

I could think of few things as wasteful with regard to taxpayer dollars as relitigating a question that has been answered using data from millions of children across multiple countries across the world, largely under the impetus of work subsequently shown to be fraudulent

This news truly breaks my heart. We are calling on HHS to take immediate action. Secretary Kennedy needs to bring back weekly measles tracking from the CDC, rehire the health experts, and roll out a serious vaccine campaign. Our kids' safety is on the line! abcnews.go.com/Health/1st-m...

Can we stop saying people don’t “believe in” vaccines? Vaccines are real and they are proven. These people just deny science because they’re ignorant. (And, yes, it is ignorance because even their own religion doesn’t actually oppose vaccination.)

It is both breaking my heart and making me incandescently angry that one of the few silver linings of covid is the rapid progression of mRNA vaccine treatments for cancers - right as the GOP has declared all out War both on science as a whole and on mRNA vaccines specifically.

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

I can’t remember where I read this, but it’s important: Why is it that when people think about traveling to the past, they worry about doing something small that will drastically change the present, but no one in the present thinks that doing something small today can drastically change the future?

What these nihilistic vandals are doing to dismantle science & medicine—generations of expertise & public service & life improving benefits—is cultural revolution level national self harm. No foreign foe could inflict such brutal damage & senseless suffering on US so fast & effectively & unresisted.

Don’t just say DEI as if it’s a bad word. Spell it out. Say diversity, which is the lifeblood of American society & culture & innovation. Say equity, which a just society should pursue. Say inclusion, because decent people believe in increasing belonging, not isolating people who are different.

Cuts to NIH spending framed as saving $4 billion. But NIH funding generates returns -not just in terms of improved health- but economic returns. On average each dollar spent generates over $2 in economic activity. In MO, $800m in NIH funding supports $1.89 billion in economic activity, 8,500 jobs.

You know the coolest thing about video games? It’s that they are literally the ultimate art form. Want an interactive way to showcase your drawings? How about interactive/dynamic music? What if you wanted to tell a story that only gets deeper the more you engage with it? Video games :)
