Vaccinate your children! I have seen children suffer from measles and I would never want another family to watch a child suffer that way.

Just can’t get over the hubris of the NYT editorial board support for trans people today after five years of reckless, Ill-informed, reactionary journalism that MADE this an issue in the first place.

Some NIH study sections for tomorrow have just been canceled. Who knows which of these grants would have led to the next life-saving invention. Who knows which scientists will throw in the towel bc of funding delays. Who can even begin to measure the impact of these reckless cancellations.😕🩺🧪🛟

I can confirm through a separate source that this is true. This also includes CDC staff who had manuscripts already accepted to journals and otherwise on the verge of publication — those too have to be retracted.

Jesus Christ what an asshole. I have all these emails with VP from when I thought we shared values. Sad, really. A true cautionary tale about audience capture and greed.

It was my privilege to be a member of the ACIP from 2018 to 2022. There is nothing mediocre about the members of the advisory committee. Public health in my country is well served by the work of ACIP and our colleagues at CDC.

Shout out to all the fuckwits who told me, two months ago, that scientists must strive to remain apolitical.

If you weren’t clear: a President ordering a Federal health and disease agency to delete pages on its website is a public health crisis.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world. Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

If you have been affected by the fires in LA, or are concerned about your ability to keep precious Drosophila strains going during the latest funding crisis, we will host your strains as a backup. Please email me. Please amplify. If you are also able to host fly strains, add your name as well.

“Another unknown is whether NIH researchers will still be allowed to submit papers to peer-reviewed journals.” This is insanity, and could have major impact on entire fields of research worldwide (we all collaborate with one another)

Every year, I tag along as the +1 to my husband’s CME meeting in Hawaii. The mornings are some of my most academically productive time, and this year has been no exception. So far, I’ve already edited 6 book chapters and 2 journal manuscripts…. Next an illustrated review and policy article! 🌺

1. Did you know that Girl Scouts has, for a long time, accepted trans girls and nonbinary scouts? Trans kids are under attack. Every year, I make a thread of trans and nonbinary girl scouts you can get your cookies from. Lets get our cookies from them this year in solidarity!
