Producer, reporter, writer & filmmaker with a love of science and a weak spot for scary emerging diseases. Psychedelic documentarian. Was a homeschooling dad.

Here's my latest piece, on mRNA-based cancer vaccines weathering a storm over the past year. Plus big news for a pancreatic cancer treatment. Thanks to @pulitzercenter https://t.co/lHeIBtmDrX
The Trump administration has effectively ended its legal fight to impose a flat 15% cap on NIH indirect-costs by letting the deadline to appeal to the Supreme Court pass without filing.
That means the earlier court rulings blocking the policy remain in place.
@Neil_Bloch@fionawoods46@Airdropdeez@LeahLibresco@jaffes of course, I'm sure the business model was predicated on all Americans being required to get the Epstein-Barr vaccine and new shingles vaccine before they can collect social security,
@Neil_Bloch@fionawoods46@Airdropdeez@LeahLibresco@jaffes you are NOT reading correctly... Moderna isn't / wasn't getting U.S. money for this research (although they benefit from basic preclinical research). They are saying they can't afford to do the research if they can't ultimately sell product in the U.S.
@wil_da_beast630 uh, there was a worldwide pandemic which wasn't Biden's fault (or Trump's). If you want to be a serious commentator you should recognize that had way more impact on lives and the economy than anything else you brought up. (p.s crime rose w/pandemic and fell as it waned)
@roddreher@DouthatNYT "unrepentantly woke" - what does that even mean? I'd like to live in a shared reality but that sounds like a tortured rationalization.
@TheAmishDude@kyledcheney this is total bullshit. No one who just wandered in the doors and walked around spent time in prison, maybe an overnight in jail at most
@seanmdav Im sure you know this and are just being cynical, but ill spell it out for your moron followers: the concern is that ICE will harass /deter legal voters. Its already very difficult to evade rules to vote as a non-citizen and theres no incentive to do it, w/steep penalties
@wil_da_beast630 These responses are all moronic. The argument isn't that Renee Good should have been totally invulnerable to arrest or any intervention - the whole operation is a form of civil disobedience - it's that shooting her dead was totally unwarranted, straight up murder.
@SohrabAhmari “Oh wow”?? Dont you mean, “oh wow i was totally wrong and this is about the 20th video confirming it?” I lost all respect for you this week.
@SohrabAhmari Your argument is ludicrous. She “makes contact” at low speed, hes probably touching the car in the first plae, he can easily get outof the way, she’s plainly not trying to run him over. Its straight-up murder.
@lawyer4laws@HHS_Jim How dumb are you, really? Like the post says, he’s not an American, he’s the Somali ambassador to the UN, ie he is a Somali from Somalia.
