Have spoken with several smart people recently who just joined twitter for the educational benefits -- substantial in med/science! -- but they wisely want to avoid the ugliness.

Here's a great guide, I consult it frequently!

If you see success as a zero-sum game, life becomes a series of cutthroat competitions. You reach the top by taking others down.

If you see the possibility of mutual benefit, your goals shift from crushing the competition to making a contribution. You rise by lifting others up.

Not yet sure about importance of wastewater monitoring in this pandemic?

This tweet was from Early days of Omicron.

#COVID19 virus has given us a unique gift by shedding into wastewater - enabling monitoring with high efficiency approaches.

We should use it - everywhere.

[Jeff Collins @realJeffCollins]

Thank you to @PaulSaxMD for being my pandemic sanity check! Just when the snark and vitriol consuming a difficult scientific debate with conflicting data have me feeling low, he delivers another thoughtful and nuanced piece on the issue.

Incomplete protection from prior infection isn’t what any of us want to hear. But as we’ve learned again and again, wanting something from this virus doesn’t make it happen. Latest:
