JHU admin said last May that they heard the "urgent calls for reconsideration of the way in which public safety in our community is achieved."

Wonder when they decided to stop listening.

[Kyra Grantz @khgrantz]

On a day that @JohnsHopkins has reaffirmed its desire to create a private police force, let's revisit the "public safety" data from another university's police force:

#NoHopkinsPolice

[Damon Jones @nomadj1s]

A few days ago, the University of Chicago, i.e. the president and provost, emailed the campus with a subject mentioning “public safety”

The email starts out by calling for an “examination and reflection of law enforcement in our society”

[Kyra Grantz @khgrantz]

I'm also calling state senators + delegates asking them to support efforts like @jillpcarter and @GabrielAcevero's to revoke state approval of the police force.

@AWISBalt is looking for new leaders to join the Executive Board!! If you're interested, go to https://t.co/f81QLV63eL to learn more! Please RT and let me know if you have any questions!

🚨I wrote about how individualism is still sabotaging the pandemic response, and how it has been accentuated by vaccinations & the CDC’s recent guidance. Our collective problem still exists & has been even more heavily shifted onto the most vulnerable. 1/

@KayteAndersen is my dissertation-pivoting, flower-arranging, Peloton-crushing hero! Take a few minutes to listen to her super timely and interesting work ⬇️⬇️⬇️

[Public Health On Call @PublicHealthPod]

Dr. Caleb Alexander and PhD candidate Kayte Anderson talk to @drJoshS about their new research looking into whether immunosuppressant drugs put people at higher risk of more serious disease from COVID-19.

Globally, we’re facing a severe COVID-19 vaccine shortage. Dose-sparing strategies could save lives. An argument against these strategies is that they might increase vaccine escape. We think these evolutionary impacts deserve a closer look, and could actually go the other way.

[Dr Ellie Murray, ScD @EpiEllie]

Dr Lessler and his team are excellent infectious disease epidemiologists.

They’ve run the numbers on schools & show:
1) Transmission is a problem with in-person school, even part-time
2) With careful protection measures, risk can be lowered
3) Many schools aren’t doing enough

[Justin Lessler @JustinLessler]

In preprint w/ @KateGrabowski @khgrantz @andrewazman @CJEMetcalf @Lizstuartdc we look at #COVID-19 risk to household members from in-person schooling. A summary follows. Caution: this work has not yet been peer reviewed (1/8)

[Dr Roz Eggo @rozeggo]

Are things that academia values, the most important things in modern science? @AdamJKucharski @sbfnk & I argue probably not.
I hope this can change: many people are doing valuable technical work & they are - & should be able to stay - a part of science. https://t.co/CYXSyZk7eE

@apoorva_nyc So many at @JHIDDynamics! @Ymax @KateGrabowski @QifangB @TaraHegde @hanmered @AmyKayeWinter @NKostandova - and @isabelrodbar @lindsay_keegan @hannahhec @NMRelleno elsewhere!

"As we confront new stages of the #COVID19 pandemic over the coming months and years, overdispersion can help us better understand why the disease behaves as it does and sharpen our efforts at control," write @KHGrantz and @JustinLessler. https://t.co/R9quxQNLjN

[Michele Tizzoni 🇺🇦 @mtizzoni]

A very insightful overview of how mobile phone data can be used to inform the analysis of COVID-19 pandemic epidemiology. Thanks to Amy Wesolowski and the team for including extended coverage of our work! https://t.co/QMWd1hAJHR

[Justin Lessler @JustinLessler]

Since #superspreading is evidently a hot topic again (my mother is asking about it) retweeting an explainer thread I put together w/ @khgrantz back in February.

[Justin Lessler @JustinLessler]

We had two preprints out last week. They might seem unrelated, but have lots to do with each other. In this thread I will outline the results and what they have to do with recent discussions around testing. @JHIDDynamics

More reason to oppose a private police force at @JohnsHopkins

[Emily S Gurley @EmilyGurley3]

Contact tracing is a vital part of pandemic response. Our new course launches tomorrow - presents a new app to estimate impact of your contact tracing program on transmission and identify strategies to improve. https://t.co/2lwxmUwXnZ @JustinLessler @khgrantz @Ymax @LucyStats 1/2
