So. It has officially happened. I have been officially let go from my position at CDC. I wasn’t a probationary employee. I had stellar performance reviews every year. I’ll be ok. But please understand that many worked HARD to get into these positions and were doing great public health work.

We want to take a moment to express how proud we are of you, America. You have stood up and spoken out every step of the way—especially when Congress and the media remained silent. When we called for help, you answered.

If you are on Bluesky, follow the Alt government departments. These are federal employees sharing information. Alt National Parks Alt CDC Alt NOAA Alt Health and Human Services Alt DHS They are being told to delete data and files (against the law). They are risking everything to share information.

The most important thing I can tell everyone that I've learned from being a YouTuber who explains how stuff works is that each and every time I thought "this is common knowledge and doesn't need to be explained" I was wrong.

Reminder that a study on lizard saliva eventually led to the development of Ozempic so be real wary of the criticism of studies and funding that sounds non-sensical when presented with no context.

Despair not (yet) "If a control experiment fails, does that mean that the entire experiment is poorly designed and you must restart from scratch? Often, yes— but not always. I present five examples where failed control experiments triggered entirely new fields of research."

When the government is gagged and not allowed to talk about science, the people will continue. Long live science and journalism. Long live the First Amendment. #science #usa

Welcome immigrants from X interested in science to the friendlier skies of @bsky.app, as documented by a new @nature.com survey (but you already knew that 😉) "Bluesky is much better for science. There is much less toxicity, misinformation, and distractions." www.nature.com/articles/d41...

The worst problem we have? it's not fraud, or mistreatment, or whatever. It's that people and organisations that run science have no understanding of human motivation. Which leads inevitably to fraud, mistreatment of others, and whatever. www.science.org/content/arti...
