Would have to be a biting midge of some kind, something in superfamily Chironomoidea. Location sourced?

And yes, you are probably right many don't appreciate Operation Warp Speed's ability to get vaccines within a year of the pandemic, depended on decades of work, much of it NIH-funded. They probably also don't appreciate that that capability is being dismantled now.

I'm just really scared of running for anything because of my very ill spent twenties!

I assume that the difference is re-CALL is a verb and RE-call is a noun, but I grew up in Alabama and so still use the optional pronunciation of INsurance, UMbrella, and CEment.

The Democrats on the House Science Committee have set up a website to collect stories from fired federal employees, anonymously if desired. Please amplify. (This helps the lawyers establish standing for bringing legal cases against the administration!)

I went to high school with Dusty Slay (white guy with long hair and hat) and he ain't a bad kid, and probably none of em are bad kids and that isn't the point, obv. I gotta think that it would feel alien and strange to have white guy after white guy mount the stage. Like doesn't it feel like a bit?

And that's not to even mention how badly behaved some members of the academy can be if they see foreign-to-them names on a paper. Anti AAPI prejudice is dismayingly and hurtfully strong in, at least, biology.

Of course!! Because TB is a public health problem that can be solved with money -- it's preventable as long as you can spend on public health infrastructure, but curable even if you didn't do the smart thing. TB is completely solvable if we just... DO IT.
