Take a moment to watch: 1.2 billion people have a disability – 15% of the world’s population. @WeThe15, a new movement formed by a coalition of international organizations, aims to put disability right at the heart of the inclusion agenda. Let's create this change! #WeThe15

No matter your politics, convictions, or beliefs about the media, journalists provide the clearest window through which Americans may see what is happening in their country and in the world. Handcuffing them blindfolds us. Our democracy demands that we must not be OK with this.

Some symptoms of #COVID19 and #flu are similar, but #COVID19 spreads faster, is more deadly, affects kids less, and there’s no vax, immunity, or treatment & we know much less about it. What this means for all of us in my latest article @CNNhealth https://t.co/aqjUJxpBrQ

Hey streets of Italy: if you’re taking requests, my wife and I would love to hear Nessun Dorma.

A more level-headed take on very preliminary research that unfortunately led to inappropriately scary headlines this past week. Kudos @cnnhealth #MedJournalism #PreparationNotPanic #COVID19

“A particularly fraught question during epidemics is whether the causative pathogen will mutate to become more dangerous. This is the wrong question. Mutation is a mundane aspect of existence for many viruses, and the novel coronavirus is no exception.” https://t.co/77QUaKBPlv

“Discourse trumps data” when educating kids about STEM, says Major General Charles F. Bolden Jr. (@cboldenjr), former administrator of @NASA, at #Axios360. In short, we need science storytellers!

“You cannot close a STEM education gap using the system that created the gap.” Great talk by @SylviaAcevedo, CEO of @girlscouts at #Axios360!
