In light of everything happening, I wrote about how the KKK in the 1920s felt unstoppable, about the people that fought against them anyway, and about how fascism always fails. dansinker.com/posts/202…

The European federation of Academies of Sciences has posted a statement of concern about the developments in the US. They now have added the option to endorse this statement as an organisation. Would be great if this could go viral. allea.org/portfolio-it...

The resistance hero Sophie Scholl was killed by the Nazis on this day in 1943. She was 21. Her story and her immortal wisdom on suffering and the deepest source of strength:

Due to the layoffs I am afraid that we have had to take over the running of the US National Parks. We are updating the park regulations but for now the most important thing people can do before visiting a national park is to marinade themselves for 12 hours in olive oil, lime juice & garlic.

One thing Democratic leadership could do right now is to name an alternate HHS secretary--someone to provide ongoing public updates and health information. And do it for other departments too.

First #bluesky post. Was hesitant to start, after the dumpster 🔥 of X But these last few weeks have been incredibly tough for those of us working in #HIV, #STIs, #globalhealth, or really anything #science I'm so happy to see the resistance is alive and well here! I missed the community #idsky

We have #JustPublished a package of 5 annual epidemiological reports on #STIs - #gonorrhoea, #chlamydia, #syphilis, #CongenitalSyphilis, #LymphogranulomaVenereum. The conclusion of them all is - STI cases continue to rise across Europe. Read our press release: bit.ly/ECDCSTIs2025 #EpiSky #IDsky

In 2023 IDSA introduced the Anthony Fauci Courage in Leadership Award for “commitment to promoting scientific integrity, advocating for sound science and advancing the field of ID”. With global health and science under assault, we need courage from our leaders and leaders with courage. #IDSky
