More on the Buona Forchetta ICE raid, from the SDUT. The restaurants stayed open over the wknd to serve customers, but they're closed now to grieve & process. Our mayor is angry & two Reps are holding a news conf to demand answers. This must stop! www.sandiegouniontribune.com/2025/06/02/w...

The effects of Covid in pregnancy are devastating and preventable by vaccination; now we have strong data from Penn Medicine that vaccines protect children and adolescents from long Covid

Excellent, epic review of HPAI H5N1! 👉 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

The shadow knows! #bikes #Leucadia #bikesaremagic

Cyclovia Encinitas was wonderful! Thanks to the City of Encinitas and all the people who made the event happen. I hope we can do it more than once a year. ¡Viva la Cyclovia! #cyclovia #bikes #bikesaremagic

It was great to see all the people riding around on bikes this morning and feel the positive energy! We stopped by the Leucadia Bike Shop pit stop and met some wonderful people. Now it's time to bike to the lab and later to Pizza Port in Solana Beach! #bikeanywhere #bikes #bikesaremagic

Bike Anywhere Day in SD is tomorrow! Bike to work, school, the beach, or… anywhere! Pick up a free t-shirt at one of the 100 pit stops across the San Diego region. Register to win one of three e-bikes. Learn more at SANDAG.org/bikeday (para español, visite SANDAG.org/diadelabici). #BikeAnywhereSD

RFK is committing #PublicHealthMalpractice.

Honored to be a part of this Science Interrupted event with @repscottpeters.bsky.social and a crew of local scientists to talk about the importance of communicating and funding science research. Join us at The Fleet on Saturday morning, more details here: www.fleetscience.org/events/celeb...

If you missed the last 2 Scientists event at Culture Brewing in Solana Beach and want to stop by tomorrow, I'll be there tomorrow (Phage Friday, 05/09) from 18:30 to 20:30. www.fleetscience.org/events/two-s... Join me for science conversation. Bring curiosity and friends! #scicomm #phage 🧪🦠

Avian influenza HPAI H5N1 is catastrophic and will likely have negative consequences for Australian wildlife. Great to write this one with Sara, Toby, Marcel. 👉 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

We went for a walk on the beach in Encinitas this afternoon and saw at least eight dead birds. Mostly pelicans, but gulls and a crow too. I warned some people with an unleashed dog and they mentioned algal toxicity in the news. But crows? Wishing there was a better alert and response system here!

So this interview lasted 2 hours so this “you’re scaring me” part might seem like an overreaction or fearmongering to someone without that context. There’s a lot of evidence to support my hypothesis that a potential H5N1 pandemic would be worse than COVID.

Want a short, accessible read about the current state of H5N1 bird flu? Florian Krammer, Enikö Hermann, and I wrote a short "gem" piece for the @asm.org Journal of Virology. journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/...

Growing number of bird flu-infected cats this year (49), NVSL is I think still working through a backlog, so probably not a full accounting. If you have an indoor/outdoor cat in any area indicated on the second map (probably also SE), please reconsider the outdoor part: tinyurl.com/H5N1Dashboard

I hope your Phage Friday is wonderful! If you're in the Solana Beach area this evening, stop by Culture Brewing to say hi (and chat about science!), I'll be 1 of "2 Scientists". www.fleetscience.org/events/two-s... Come join us for community science curiosity cultivation! #scicomm #phage 🧪🦠

Bike riding is magic. Riding home from the lab, listening to The Clash, and smiling/waving to people like infectious diseases are taking the next eight years off! #bikes #bikesaremagic #antiepidemics
