Working in communications at a school of public health: In the break room right now there is a table full of books on mindful eating next to a table full of Dunkin' donuts.

Patients served by frontline clinics typically encounter disproportionate #climatechange–related #health burdens in every aspect of daily life, including the air they breathe and the water they drink. Patient-centered #climateaction prioritizes investments for them first.

Based on some of my email inbox, I'm already worried about vaccine resistance (no, the vaccine does not contain "government trackers"). Suggestion: all public figures should live-stream their vaccination when they get it.

Bummed that the @nprbooks book concierge for 2020 isn’t out yet! In need of a Hanukkah present for my history-loving Dad!

So if there’s only one tweet of mine you remember — remember that there’s no point in dining outdoors if you’re going to be indoors while you do it.

Apropos of nothing in particular, disagreeing with most scientists about something don’t make you Galileo

@judyberman Right?!? That was the worst part! Do they not have bagels in England?

[Anna @annapinkert]

@judyberman Stef was yelling at the TV the whole time. From what she observed, they basically made circular rainbow pretzels.

Scientists DO know a lot about #COVID19, and it is important that we listen to them.

[Michael Mina @michaelmina_lab]

Important

This virus is not happening in a vacuum where no information existed previously

On Immunity, On testing, On serology, On transmission, On masks, On treatments...

We must stop this narrative that we know nothing of this virus until we learn it anew - again.

@danbobkoff @axios @NialaBoodhoo @sarakgoo @danprimack Congrats!

@michaelmina_lab What about: Rapid tests are like nacho cheese. you COULD just put cheese on top of tortilla chips, but that isn’t nachos. You need beans, or jalapenos, or chicken (depending on the situation). But if you don't have the cheese in there, you just have a pile of soggy chips.

4yo: We brush our teeth to stop coronavirus.

Me: No I don’t think that’s the reason...

4yo: But why is there a picture of coronavirus on my toothpaste? 🦠

Podcast listeners! Is it weird when a lone podcast host says “we are going to talk to...”

[Anna @annapinkert]

Solo podcast hosts! When you intro your podcast, do you say “we” or “I?” (As in “Today, we are going to talk to...”)

[Anna @annapinkert]

Same!

Bye bye, certainty... Hello, mystery! @sciam article on the language used in their magazine over the last 175 years is really making me think about the words I use and why I use them... https://t.co/bK6RChqozl

@judyberman I was really ready to have a ghost boss who could only speak to me through writing.

[Anna @annapinkert]

@judyberman Seasoned or unseasoned rice vinegar? We have both! 💁‍♀️

[Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth]

So today I didn’t realize I was off mute and told the Democratic Caucus (including a couple recent presidential candidates) that “...mommy is working honey, please go potty and wash your hands then mommy will come downstairs.” How’s your working from home going? 🤦🏻‍♀️
