I don't think we're talking enough about the fact that the pressure to remove DEI from science means women die.

Doing the unthinkable: The deep cuts to the #CDC's workforce today are expected to decimate the Epidemic Intelligence Service, a program that has trained public health rapid responders for decades. Envy of the world. Poof! www.statnews.com/2025/02/14/t...

Just saw a farmer say, "you don't have to admit you were wrong, you have to admit you were lied to, " and idk that seems like a good framing to call people in

My latest. As journalists and writers, we have a duty to use language that is accurate and describes our current reality. I’m no longer going to talk about DEI/Anti-DEI. Let’s be clear. We are facing racial purges and re-segregation. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Worth remembering that a large majority of the public still believes that measles vaccines save lives. There are groups asking that majority to speak up & prevent anti-vaccine policies, like this one immunizeusa.org/get-involved/

To America’s 2.3 million federal employees: Don’t accept a buyout. Neither Musk nor even Trump has the legal authority to make such an offer. And even if they did, would you trust them to follow through on it? Sincerely, Robert Reich Former U.S.Secretary of Labor

In 2019, Trump hired Mark Lee Greenblatt to root out corruption and waste in the Department of the Interior. Greenblatt got to work, conducting investigations across the agency of 70,000 federal employees, which oversees 30% of the United States’ natural resources and 20% of its public lands.

A very important story I’ve worked on since Dec w my amazing editor @laurenjyoung.bsky.social. Pls check it out—yes, #polio really COULD return to the U.S. if #vaccination rates fall enough & that’s a very real possibility if #Kennedy is confirmed at HHS. www.scientificamerican.com/article/here...

In the US, polio is rare. But if vaccines disappear, the disease could return, and uncomfortably easily. Here's how: 🧪 www.scientificamerican.com/article/here...

I find bad experiences linger in a way that reminds me of residue. if that residue is from racism, neuroscience is finding that it is life-shortening. A stark read that will stay with you. harvardpublichealth.org/equity/racis...

As Trump announces US policy that there are only two genders (www.kqed.org/news/1202312...) it's a good to remember science has shown serious threats facing LGBTQ kids--and how their parents are protecting them, as Scientific American has reported: www.scientificamerican.com/article/fami...

If you’re feeling despair today, I understand. But Trump’s second term will expose a reality that's been hidden from many Americans: the raw, stinking power of the American oligarchy. I’m hopeful that America will see this reality for what it is and respond to it. youtu.be/bepjl3orz1A?...
