I have now been part of multiple AI-focused workshops/conversations on my campus, across 2 departments/schools, and no one seems to be talking about this. Is anyone's campus leadership doing a better job grappling with this issue? 👇

Regex is witchcraft. You say a spell, and things come up to life. You mispronounce one backslash, and you are burned alive.

BREAKING: Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema have cast decisive votes against Biden's NLRB nominee. This means the Democrats will not secure control of the national labor regulator through 2026. These two Senators effectively handed Trump control of the board when his term begins.

My FB memories told me that 8 years ago today I was deeply concerned by the selection of Tom Price and Seema Verma for HHS and CMS, respectively. {Insert the "hold my beer" meme, or whatever the kids say.}

Because the below skeet went viral here, and people are arguing over it, I'm going to share some more info about it from a thread I did at the other place. I really need to just do an article about it but haven't done that yet. Until then, I hope readers find this thread useful. 🧵

In particular, I'd like to highlight this excerpt, as it speaks to a foundational concept in public health ethics: Twin aims models of #Justice. Ethically optimal public health interventions should maximize two goals: improvement of overall pop health, and compression of health inequalities. 1/

I wish bluesky had polls because I am really curious to know: If you work in public health in the US, has your workplace leadership shared any comments on RFK Jr as potential HHS lead? If yes, what are they saying?

I still remember scrambling to download datasets before January 2017. Later, I noticed that several HUD and EPA datasets were no longer accessible.

I’m so happy to see the delightful CPSC comms team on here!

I am seeking to recruit a PhD student with interests in insurance coverage, state and federal policy and payment reform for the 2025-2026 academic year in the Department of Health Services Policy and Management at the Arnold School of Public Health at the University of South Carolina #HealthPolicy

Debate reflection: the idea that Harris should have done x, y, z things _as Vice President_ if they were so important to her and bc she didn’t she shouldn’t be asking for promotion to be President was super creepy.
