This place is getting more sinister, maybe on my way out. Director @CCDD_HSPH Tweets in personal capacity. Didn’t pay for blue check

Our latest set of GCBR Organization Updates is our longest issue yet, featuring statements on AIxBio risks, RFPs for clean indoor air, hiring for biosurveillance, resilient synthesis screening, and more!

US health agencies like CDC and NIH and FDA remain full of dedicated and exceptional scientists and health professionals doing the right thing for public health. But this example shows they can be overruled by an exceptionally unqualified secretary of HHS.

Don't post much here any more but this is worth commenting on https://t.co/E0kmyYqdJ1

I'm fortunate to live in a state with a high-quality health department that provides information based on science. For those who don't I recommend Canadian https://t.co/rUStXWqqKV or UK https://t.co/dA3IO4XrPD advice.

I just joined APHA https://t.co/Mytz78cGva -- a strong advocate for public health right now. Encourage others to do the same!

@_akiraendo I’ve had that experience with Cell and with Scientific Reports. Maybe a good reason to avoid donating your labor to that journal! And tell them
Why

Excited to share a new preprint led by Indra Gonzalez Ojeda on a new tool to improve pangenome calling in bacteria, CLARC. https://t.co/BAnSAaFf26 . Passing output of Roary for S. pneumoniae populations through this tool reduces accessory genome > 30%, resolves other puzzles

A new CDC report shows how real-time modeling can spot COVID-19 surges early, aiding early public health action. Learn more: https://t.co/QLac1FVsW5

@EllenFoxman @YaleIBIO @Yale_LabMed @YalePediatrics @JohnsHopkinsSPH what a cool study! Congratulations!

@ItaiYanai Thank you @ItaiYanai . It's finding gems like this that keeps me resisting the impulse to quit X.

My profound thought for today: Jargon and buzzwords are opposites. Jargon are words almost no one uses that have precise meaning. Buzzwords are words everyone uses that have little meaning. Clarity is avoiding both.

Trump’s Project 2025 explained hilariously, terrifyingly, and perfectly.

Trump’s Project 2025 will end America as we know it and turn it into the White Christian Nationalist version of Afghanistan.

Just out w @chrisbboyer https://t.co/uforF1tNsQ Emulating target trials of postexposure vaccines using observational data. Spurred by great collab with @nycHealthy on mpox vaccines, but applies to any postexposure intervention on an infection to reduce risk of bad outcomes.
