It certainly helps that Alaska approved ranked-choice voting this election. Murkowski now has much better chance to leave the GOP and still win re-election. https://t.co/GvhqKC0iIu

So excited to share this preprint for our new mosquito microbiome opinion piece, please share widely with #Mosquito and #microbiome folks and give us your feedback!

Ohioans are alive because of Dr. Amy Acton’s leadership. There is no question that her decisions and guidance has made us safer. Thank you for your service. We are all grateful for Dr. Acton.

Hi everyone: this was me. I was sprayed in the face after we identified ourselves and presented our press passes multiple times. Media are exempt from curfew. Media are exempt from curfew.

👏🏼👏🏼 learning to say “I actually don’t know enough to have a well-informed opinion” has oddly been one of the most liberating and rewarding efforts of my life

NORMALIZE CHANGING YOUR OPINION ON SOMETHING AFTER LEARNING NEW INFORMATION. ITS OKAY. I PROMISE.

#columbusprotests at Poplar Ave 5/30 8:10pm. ~50 people. This is before they threw a warning canister that had a woman on the ground crying for an inhaler. While she was still down they rushed in with 6 vans and deployed mass canisters to fill the alley. We were peaceful.

Odds the majority of US pop abandons social distancing within the first week of reports of case # decline..? High. Odds the virus makes a roaring comeback shortly after..? Also high. We need to think NOW about how to use scientific voices to encourage solidarity in coming months.

[Dom Magistrado @mdmagistr]

Excellent read. This obviously never should have been a partisan issue. Current measures implemented by US are neither economically nor psychologically sustainable in the coming MONTHS of #COVID19 reality.

[Ezra Klein @ezraklein]

Every health expert I’ve spoken to agrees: no one knows the trajectory COVID-19 will take in the US.

The uncertainty isn’t just about the disease,. It’s about us.

This is the question: can social trust and solidarity replicate faster than the virus? https://t.co/rX272ZQp5Y

[Paul Krugman @paulkrugman]

This is a good, clear statement of the policy issues. Key point (which will be in my newsletter later today) is that a temporary decline in GDP is actually desirable, the point is to avoid unnecessary further decline https://t.co/nSWhuDzjGc

“We had a choice to reserve the information or make it available to everyone,” the dude says. “I reminded myself that the university’s mission is knowledge for the world.”

This a hundred times. Bridging the gap starts with a willingness to listen and truly understand the non-scientist perspective before we try to educate.

World View: “The biggest challenge in fighting misinformation? Just getting a conversation started.” @mandford writes what she learned from walking around the Minnesota State Fair with a sign that said “Ask me anything about evolution.” https://t.co/cnVoKXP9aP

I have made this point numerous times and will make it again and again. Affordable and accessible onsite daycare is a top priority to retain next generation scientists! I almost quit science because I did not have this.

@YaleMed please take the lead!
