Two previously healthy women from a nonendemic region of Brazil were infected with #Oropouche virus; they had no family links and lived in different cities. Infections rapidly progressed to hemorrhagic manifestations and fatal outcomes in 4–5 days.

The recent abortion ban in Arizona not only disregards reproductive rights but also poses serious public health risks. Safe abortion care is essential healthcare, and criminalizing it only exacerbates health injustices. #ReproductiveRights#HealthcareJustice
The Arizona Supreme Court's decision is one of the most extreme abortion bans in our nation:
No exception for rape and incest.
Prison time for doctors and nurses.
Abortion is made illegal before women even know they are pregnant.
Arizona women deserve better.
Data modernization is revolutionizing public health. Kudos to @TNDeptofHealth for leveraging CDC's Data Modernization Initiative funding to connect multiple data sources, crucial in combating the opioid overdose epidemic.
Using CDC’s Data Modernization Initiative (DMI) funding, @TNDeptofHealth developed infrastructure to link multiple data sources and provide timely, complete data to battle the opioid overdose epidemic.

What a great Symposium— I learned a ton and met a bunch of great folks. I’m looking forward to sharing what I learned through my Extension programs!
PS, if anyone wants to get me an early birthday present, I’d like one of these neat models that @UMN_MNPRO makes
Dr. Jason C. Bartz and team with @Creighton are conducting revolutionizing research for #CWD and other prion diseases by characterizing prion strain diversity. #InternationalCWDSymposium
Dr. Jason C. Bartz states that #CWD poses difficult problems, but he is energized to get back to work on difficult, but not impossible problems. He believes that this is a field that has done the impossible. #internationalcdwsymposium
Dr. Rodrigo Morales and team with @UTHealthHouston delivering an impressive presentation on potential mechanisms on how nasal bots could spread #CWD infectivity. Exciting data expanding the knowledge on feasible zoonotic pathways of infectious prions.
Copper, maroon, and gold (nanoparticles)! MNPRO presented a gleaming array of research at the 4th International #CWD Symposium. Thank you @CSUVetMedBioSci, @USDA_APHIS, every face we put with a name, and all responsible for hosting us!
Dr. McEachran (@megmcea) shares how mindful SDM and decision analysis approaches can address wildlife disease management for #CWD. #internationalcwdsymposium
