Y'all..she was lost in the wilderness for 3 weeks. She had to splint her own leg, pop her knee back into place, survived by foraging (which she is an expert in) and melting snow, and she did all this while having ballerina syndrome! See her interview here. www.tiktok.com/t/ZTja668Mx/

The dissertation! 150 pages of prairie, history, & more pawpaws than you'd expect. I've sold over 850 copies of this baby, and the world being what it is, it's far too expensive to print another edition right now. Check it out in pdf form: drive.google.com/file/d/104cf...

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die. Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.

I had to compose myself before posting—because this breaks a part of my soul. If you’re a contractor with a segregation policy, say it loud—so non-white dollars don’t fund your business. It won’t go how you think. And if anyone uncovers businesses doing this, put them on blast. #NAACP #BlackSky

Scientists do not get paid for getting quoted in the newspaper about science. People know this, right? Last year I was quoted in about 30 media articles, and I received a grand total of $0 for this. We do it because it’s important, not because we get paid.

Has anyone come across a comprehensive overview of the history of HIV antiviral drug development? None that I've found so far have had sufficient detail on the scientific journey and challenges in developing them. Could be a book, chapter, personal retrospectives, or a detailed review. Thanks!

Trump just withdrew the bad CDC nominee after public blowback about the measles vaccine. Scientists, we can achieve the same with the bad NIH nominee. Public pressure can force out Bhattacharya. Your voices are needed now. Please take action. 🧪

We need to organize--let’s help each other. NIH is cancelling grants, but it's not clear exactly what they're cancelling and why. Without this information, we can't respond. I've started a Google Sheet to track grant cancellations. Please add any canceled grants you know of and spread the word!
