H5N1 confirmed in 4 black rats in Riverside County, CA, which had recent poultry outbreaks. "The latest bird flu discoveries come as the USDA is trying to rehire bird flu experts that the agency recently fired as part of cost-cutting based on recommendations from...DOGE."

🚨BREAKING: Federal Court GRANTS sweeping nationwide injunction against Trump DEI executive orders finding that they violate First and Fifth Amendments to the Constitution.

Rep Raskin has been great. Rep Ocasio-Cortez has been great. And Rep Frost and Rep Crockett. Senator Murphy. Maybe no one knew exactly what to do. But such people laid down a clear marker. Let’s respect these and other elected federal representatives who stood out these first few weeks.

Is H5N1 airborne? The precautionary principle states we should assume yes until proven otherwise. "Can avian flu spread via the wind? Can't be ruled out, experts say" www.cidrap.umn.edu/avian-influe... #IDSky #MedSky #MaskUp #CleanTheAir #InfluenzaIsAirborne

When trying to use ChatGPT for science, it straight up makes up citations (and makes false statements as if they are fact). It has done this every time I have tried it for science and when you call it out, it apologizes for doing it. How about just not making shit up? 🧪

Now that I've been bumped twice so far today for breaking news, my @ktla.com colleagues are telling me I'm doing some of my best work

In a small trial, nearly half of pancreatic cancer patients who received an mRNA vaccine had no signs of relapse after three years. Dr. Vinod Balachandran from @mskcancercenter.bsky.social joins us to discuss the results and what they could mean for cancer treatment.
