I couldn't resist adding a comment to @jeffmightbwrong.bsky.social's funny af commentary about groupthink (essentially)--link in second note. And in the spirit of a picture being worth a thousand words, you can skip my blather and just check out this gem from @grimmgreen.bsky.social. . 1/2

🚨Progeny-Brag Warning🚨 January 2023 episode where my older child was the producer for @lostwomenofsci.bsky.social on USDA mycologist, Flora Patterson. Includes account of how Flora fought back against a cost-cutting effort that would've left our Nation vulnerable to fungal invasion. 1/2

I'm sure that this will cause the Precedent Sphincter to pucker, but it sure seems like a good idea. I don't see Kate Nyhan, a bad-ass librarian from @yaleschoolofmed.bsky.social, on this site, but I think librarians at schools of public health and medicine are the right targets for this, Nick.

News you can use from @drjenndowd.bsky.social ! #measles #MMR #SharedDecisionMaking #GetBoosted substack.com/@joegitchell...

Yet again - you never know today who will be working with the tobacco industry tomorrow.

Nicotine Nerds! Early-bird registration to the #ECigSummit #ECigSummitUS #ECigSummitUS2025 ends TOMORROW. Look at this #TotesAmazeballs Program!! www.e-cigarette-summit.com/program-2025/

This looks cool. FYI @kathihoke.bsky.social @petrieflomcenter.bsky.social

"This is what a bridge-builder works like!" Go go go, @skipscorner.bsky.social ! substack.com/@joegitchell...

Those interested in advocacy by those with lived experience will find this interview of @skipscorner.bsky.social worth the time. Putting the public in public health. #BeLikeSkip #BeKind #UsNotThem #SupportNotStigma t.co/87TWJAv7PQ

Intriguing recommendations here with the promise to solve the vaccines and autism question vs continuing to fight about it. #AdCollab time.com/7272138/cdc-...

Suggestion (and welcome refinements): when interacting with the recently exiled from HHS, take the initiative to offer up your own windows to schedule meetings vs. asking them for theirs. Sadly, they likely have more availability than you do, but you do not to highlight that. #UsNotThem

I'll be boosting this plenty, but @weeklyshowpodcast.bsky.social interviewed Michael Lewis about his latest book which focuses on govt rockstars and what we in the public get wrong about their work. Must. Watch. #FAFO #PSAHA #NIHobbling #HealtHobbling youtu.be/79_n1FKZwHo?...

There's some @lostwomenofsci.bsky.social energy in this #TotesAmazeballs thread from @dreadships.bsky.social. And I'm here for it! Wrens FTW!

Follow @dreadships.bsky.social. Come for the images and history, stay for the ALT-TEXT. And come back for more!

The horror! #AntiScience #AntiConsumer #AntiTrans And to do this on such an auspicious (suspicious?) day.

Yeah, @drjenndowd.bsky.social knows what she's doing and why. substack.com/@joegitchell...

@julierovner.bsky.social and I had a private chat this week about the future of the ACA as it turns 15. Now it's public.

Nouns vs Verbs. Would you rather be criticized for something you did (didn't pick up your dog's 💩) or something you are (a Yankees fan-nb: no judgment! Just examples!) Reminds me of this para in @alicedreger.bsky.social's 2015 Galileo's Middle Finger:
