Because you might just need to see a couple of baby owls today.

I need this TikTok injected into my veins every single day 👑

[Ginny Clark @astralfiasco]

Eels!! I am fascinated by them. Most of the time they just look like a slack-jawed sock puppet poking out of some rocks until it's hunting time and they become this terrifying, beautiful ribbon weaving through water.

[Emily Finch @DrEmilyFinch]

Ok folks. It’s time we talked about eels.

I’m a geologist but I recently learnt about eels and… wow.

Since then, I’ve been greeting strangers with ‘DO YOU KNOW ABOUT EELS?!’

Well, consider yourself a stranger in my path.

Strap in. It’s a 🧵

1/so many

The CDC estimates that 7.5% of the current adult US population is now suffering with #LongCovid.

My team at App State is growing! If you are interested in working alongside faculty to support teaching and learning in online, in-person, and hybrid settings, you should apply!

It's almost Back to School time & we're still seeing about 100k cases a day here in the US.

How do we stop COVID from going back to school too?

Our new pre-print confirms face masks must be part of our plan!

Let me explain /🧵

@zacwtolson I GUESS they're stealing lives if you wanna get dramatic about it.

[Ginny Clark @astralfiasco]

@zacwtolson Okay but you didn't even include the context which was the narrator saying "It takes a thief to catch a thief" talking about a shark pursuing tuna. The shark did 0 stealing and the tuna ate some mackerel??

[Don’t Boo…Revolt! @BreeNewsome]

The vaccine-only strategy is not working. We need public mask mandates & improved ventilation now

[Hannah @herlifeinpixels]

Potent analogy from engineer and cancer patient to what's been going on with medical professionals putting patients at risk for covid infection and #LongCovid, and why the public is sadly but rightfully losing trust in medicine as a profession

[Ginny Clark @astralfiasco]

Whenever those "How can I help you?" chat bots pop up on a website, I panic like I've been spotted in Metal Gear Solid

[Ginny Clark @astralfiasco]

@MariaDeCotis I also have Anthem, & have spent *months* trying to get them to cover an in-network COVID test from Oct. In March, I received confirmation in writing that yes, it should be fully covered, and still nothing has been done despite regular follow-ups. Endlessly infuriating.

[People's CDC @PeoplesCDC]

As of May 26, 2022, more than 96% of the U.S. population lives in an area with a substantial or high COVID-19 *transmission* level.

Transmission levels are a better metric to judge risk than "Community Levels" which focus on hospitalizations, a lagging indicator.

[Ginny Clark @astralfiasco]

@POETSorg Oof. How fun is it that a poem about the horrors of WWI also applies to daily life in America in 2022.

[Jose Martinez-Diaz @josefmtz]

this paragraph is brutal. we truly are in an “emperor has no clothes” point in history

[U.S. FDA @FDA]

The FDA, along with CDC and state and local partners, are investigating a multistate outbreak of Salmonella Senftenberg infections linked to certain Jif peanut butter products produced at the J.M. Smucker Company facility in Lexington, Kentucky. https://t.co/tflb2yhDFh
