This Friday, December 3rd at 6pm, my @AMSANational co-leaders and I are hosting a panel on the past, present, and future of abortion access in the US. Especially with today's SCOTUS arguments, we need to organize our defense of abortion rights. Zoom link: https://t.co/VRtUYAI0YU
Me, age 12, skipping school to listen to a hero of mine talk at the Chicago Humanities festival. He signed my copy of "Infections and Inequality" and answered multiple questions. His writing is a significant part of why I'm doing what I am with my life. Thank you, Dr. Farmer

Abby Pariser, who has been an activist volunteer in women's and reproductive rights since the 1960s including volunteering with "Jane" in Chicago, will speak about her experiences in reproductive care before Roe v. Wade, and the logistics of connecting women to abortion options.
This new @TheLancetInfDis review on #SARSCoV2 transmission makes the strong case for mucosal immunity, which could be achieved via nasal or oral vaccines, that are unfortunately not getting priority for development https://t.co/JTNXX1zLBA @dariusdariusdar
COVID-19 vaccines are safe & effective at preventing disease - but how well does your vaccine help protect those around you? In our paper in @TheLancetInfDis, we discuss mechanisms, available evidence, and open questions for vaccine-mediated transmission prevention. Link and 🧵⬇️
The #COVID19#vaccines are designed to prevent disease—they are also incredibly effective at preventing #transmission! Here we discuss the immunological mechs that cause vaccines to tangibly and effectively reduce transmission! 🧵 1/n https://t.co/uP1mkDcmHW @TheLancetInfDis

We are recruiting individuals under the age of 18 years in the US to participate in a free and confidential study for the validation of an at-home saliva collection kit for SARS-CoV-2 testing. Parents/guardians, please follow this link for details: https://t.co/RQV1bryQCp
Now would be a great time for a lot of the folks who’ve established themselves as the new intelligencia of American public health to reaffirm that access to safe and legal abortion is a vital and non-negotiable institution not just for civil rights but also healthcare

Do you know that only ~6% of the SARS-CoV-2 genomes submitted to GISAID (up to July 20th) came from low- and middle-income countries? 🌎🧬
In this study we discuss the causes, consequences and possible solutions for disparities in SARS-CoV-2 genomic surveillance. 🧵👇
New report for the week! While Variants of Concern still make up the majority of what we sequence, we're seeing an overall drop in all cases - which is the best way to prevent the spread of any variant. 🥳
On 5/11/20 I reached out to @NathanGrubaugh and @awyllie13. Because of their brilliance @saliva_direct has now been used in over 35 states and 100+ labs. It fostered the development of other low-cost tests, and saved thousands of lives. The world is a better place @YaleSPH@NBA
Hi @POTUS, break vaccine patents NOW. Stop allowing big pharma profiteer billons on taxpayer-funded technology. Your inaction to support a #TRIPSwaiver is costing lives. #JointAddress
