Kennedy stoppt Grippeimpfungs-Aktion und sagt Meeting des US-Impfgremiums einfach ab. Die Behauptung "wir sind ja nicht gegen Impfung, nur gegen Impfpflicht und gegen Nebenwirkungen" war immer gelogen. Es ist eine irrationale, antimoderne Anti-Impf-Bewegung, die massenhaftes Leid auslösen wird.

Absolutely amazed by the artist who did a brilliant visual recording of the workshop - not just illustrating and drawing but also breaking down complex discussions of a field they're not familiar with 🤩 Eva Ewerhart did such fantastic work - just look at this representation of food porn!

Last month, the EHPS Executive Committee and representatives of our subcommittees met in Manchester to discuss strategic matters, including future EHPS conferences and our engagement with the UN. We also enjoyed lovely Dutch stroopwafels (thanks @annevandongen.bsky.social) and a tasty Asian dinner.

Was Trump mit der US-Wissenschaft macht, ist nicht ein bisschen "Sparen am System", sondern eine beispiellose Attacke auf die Forschung. Wir müssen klar sagen: Das ist eine Katastrophe. Und dieselbe Katastrophe droht auch bei uns - überall, wo Rechtsextreme regieren. science.orf.at/stories/3228...

Können wir bitte endlich aufhören mit Formulierungen wie "in den USA ist die rechtsstaatliche demokratische Ordnung in Gefahr". Über "Gefahr" sind wir weit hinaus. Dort wird offen auf Gesetzte gepfiffen, von einer autokratischen Führungsclique. Damit muss man jetzt umgehen. Leugnen hilft nicht.
