Looking forward to reading this forthcoming book from @suziesheehy—thanks for doing the work to shine a light on women's often overlooked contributions to research! (via an interview with @killianfox0, https://t.co/ZKrUopGMiO)

If you're gonna listen to any speech about #Ukraine 🇺🇦, let it be this one.

The Kenya ambassador to the UNSC perfectly explains how people across Africa understand Ukraine, and what the Kremlin's acts of aggression mean in our post-colonial world.

Every time I tweet about this I get people in mentions saying “but we don’t take precautions for the flu!”

Those people are 100% WRONG!

Thousands of people work daily to monitor, prepare for, & respond to fluctuations in flu number and in the flu virus itself! It’s a HUGE task!

[Dr Ellie Murray, ScD @EpiEllie]

So here’s the kicker: “endemic” doesn’t mean “never think about covid again”. It’s exactly the opposite!

Endemic means someone is ALWAYS thinking about covid.

Endemic means public health is always monitoring disease & always intervening when cases cross the “acceptable” level.

@xkcd This looks very much like a coarser version of the Racial Dot Map from some years ago based on the 2010 census: https://t.co/xBoT9GWvyf

love this map, love this thread, love the broad point that the political geography of the US can not be accurately shown with colored squares on a map

The marginalized were terrified after Trump’s 2016 victory bc we knew he would terrorize us. Trump supporters mourn his loss bc they fear they can no longer terrorize us. There’s a key difference. Stop acting like we are rival sports teams.

BREAKING: President Trump has falsely claimed that he has won the 2020 election.

That is wrong. Millions of votes are still being counted in key states. https://t.co/L3gTnRGK5f

It's not my place or Donald Trump's place to declare the winner of this election. It's the voters' place.
