"People on the street in Kenya are angry because for many of them, this looks like colonial decision making all over again," Dr. @Craig_A_Spencer says about the quarantine facility the US is setting up about 120 miles from Nairobi. https://t.co/SRUjxDNiA9

“It’s build the wall, but for viruses”

My thoughts for @NPR on the Kenya facility being built by the U.S.

With great perspective and comments from the brilliant @BhadeliaMD.

“If you have to ask the question, is the United States prepared for a deadly biological emergency, the continued transmission of measles gives you a very clear answer,” Professor Jennifer Nuzzo told @SInow. "And that answer is no.” https://t.co/vuOem8tJjo

Recently, my kids heard me on the radio and had loads of questions about Ebola.

So I was really excited to do this @NBCNews video for their “What’s Going On?” series focused on explaining tough topics to kids.

A new study led by epidemiologists at @Brown_SPH found that among firearm owners, less safe storage was associated with higher blood lead levels in children.

"Epidemic containment is not a matter of charity. It is a matter of America’s most fundamental national self-interest."

CONTINUUM🍹 We spoke to Professor Christopher Kahler and other @BrownCAAS researchers about America's changing drinking habits. It's a shift that reflects growing evidence of alcohol's serious health risks, even for moderate drinkers. https://t.co/djPdyKmgLf

Gun owners have long understood the importance of safe gun storage to prevent accidents and injuries, but a new @Brown_Epi study has found safely storing firearms & ammunition also reduces the amount of lead—a known neurotoxicant—children are exposed to.⤵️ https://t.co/vJOHOT0z5h

What is having Ebola like? And how do you care for patients in very constrained circumstances?

Dr. @Craig_A_Spencer has cared for Ebola patients and has been one himself. He told @NPR about both experiences, and the disparities between them.https://t.co/cPm4wtIDRc

From @Salon: Professor @Craig_A_Spencer compares the current Ebola outbreak—nearing 1,000 confirmed cases—to the 2024 Rwanda Marburg outbreak, in which the US joined partners to rapidly deploy vaccines and treatments, successfully containing the outbreak. https://t.co/wEIVguPBaO
