I used to work in academia. Now I work in pajamas.

@SenTedBuddNC Research + Tourism are cornerstones of NC economy, but @realDonaldTrump is unilaterally stopping visitors. Even if world-renowned institutions vouch for an educated, talented visiting scholar, Trump says no... The US will no longer be destination for businesses.

Shame on every single elected official who sees kids shot in their schools as acceptable collateral damage for unfettered access to guns.

Libertarians like, “people can simply pay for private food testing for each meal if they value that service,”

The State Department terminated the visas of two Duke graduate students and one alumnus over the weekend, reportedly providing no reason for the revocations. Duke Visa Services is holding an open forum this evening to answer student questions:

Public Health research and education needs private donor support more than ever. I gave to my alma mater today... will you?

[UNC Public Health @UNCpublichealth]

It’s giving community. It’s giving back. It’s #GiveUNC!

Your support means so much for students at the Gillings School, and no gift is too small. Now more than ever, they’re making a difference for public health and well-being—and so can you!

@SenThomTillis Super thrilled that you guys are spending your time re-renaming things instead of focusing on the hundreds of North Carolinians losing their jobs due to Trump's illegal orders. This is your constituency, and they will remember.

@RantingSid Ahahaha I may have mistakenly joined a cult

Hi! Update from the real world of science and research! The very smart @_brainstorm_12 presented to our @GEMINI_Research mtg today, sharing insights from her work looking at how trauma affects the brain. What does this apolitical scientific inquiry have to do with #DEI? 🧵👇🏼

[Ashley Phillips @ashleyist]

In brief: When you throw out any notion of #DEI with its recent weaponization, you will get shitty science. If we don't go out of our way to include diverse populations in our studies, in our workforce, or in our communities, we will get results that only serve the majority.

Well... When applying Western-derived models that use imaging to estimate brain age in a project in South Africa, it turned out that existing tools performed pretty poorly. 📉

[Ashley Phillips @ashleyist]

And yet, we see time and time again that even "gold standard" tools don't hold up, if they are even questioned at all.

[Associate Deans @ass_deans]

Your paper on bias in difference in difference estimates has triggered an investigation. The governor’s office wants to make sure this isn’t promoting DEI.

Elon Musk is a terrible president.

Thanks to @DukeGHI Director for this. As he says:

"Health is [...] a right of all people, no matter where they live, whether they are rich or poor, or how they identify. All of us have a role in ensuring that we do everything we can to deliver on this fundamental human right."

[Duke Global Health @DukeGHI]

“Health is not political. It is a right of all people, no matter where they live, whether they are rich or poor, or how they identify.
