There’s still a need to simplify the #HIVCure research because it makes sense when the entire community can understand it.
At @MOSmilesUg | @Series_Of_Jojo we translate the HIV Cure science into community lay language so that YPLHIV & others are able to catalyze the cure process

BREAKING: Beloved Hollywood star Jennifer Aniston rips into MAGA vice presidential candidate J.D. Vance over his shockingly sexist remarks about "childless cat ladies" with an epic tirade.

This is exactly how you deal with creeps like this...

"I truly can’t believe this is coming from a potential VP of The United States," Aniston wrote on her Instagram Story accompanied by a screenshot of the now-infamous 2021 interview.

In that interview, Vance complained that the United States is run by "a bunch of childless cat ladies who are miserable at their own lives and the choices that they’ve made... It’s just a basic fact—you look at Kamala Harris, Pete Buttigieg, AOC—the entire future of the Democrats is controlled by people without children."

Like so many other Americans, Aniston was horrified by the deeply sexist comments.

"All I can say is… Mr. Vance, I pray that your daughter is fortunate enough to bear children of her own one day," Aniston wrote in her post.

"I hope she will not need to turn to IVF as a second option. Because you are trying to take that away from her, too," she added.

Aniston has shared in the past that she herself struggled with IVF, saying: "It was a challenging road for me, the baby-making road."

In our hyper-polarized political climate, it takes real courage to speak out against misogynist men like J.D. Vance and Donald Trump. Aniston should be commended for her bravery and moral clarity.

Please retweet and ❤️ to thank Jennifer Aniston for putting MAGA in its place — and consider joining the growing exodus to Tribel, a new pro-democracy social network that is exploding in popularity because Twitter and Facebook are trying to stop its growth — which is only making Tribel grow even faster.

COVID-19 had a devastating impact on health systems and population health globally. The extent to which public health measures affected uptake of COVID-19 testing was unclear. In this article we discuss the facilitators and barriers to COVID-19 testing in two rural communities

Just spent the last 2 weeks in mNGS training at #CZBiohubSF . It’s been an intense 2 weeks of lab work, data analysis and interacting with experts in the field. Looking forward to putting what I have learnt to practice in the lab back home in Zambia.
