My new piece: “An Economic Dignity Compact for the AI Age” We - not the largest AI interests - must shape our economic destiny. The answer’s not UBI: it’s a focus on purpose, work, contribution, double dignity jobs & a universal economic dignity floor democracyjournal.org/arguments/an...

An Economic Dignity Compact for the AI Age
Technology does not shape our destiny. We still have the power to do that—if we keep human well-being, happiness, and dignity top of mind.

The world is literally burning, and rather than doing anything to help, Donald Trump and his friend, the richest man in the world, are spreading lies to gain more power. The message is clear, not only do they want to help, they want to mock America's corpse. gavinnewsom.com/california-f...

"Bhattacharya wants to take on what he views as academic conformity in science, which pushed him aside over his criticism of the response to the COVID-19 pandemic, including his opposition to school closures and mask mandates to stop the spread of the virus.

What a great day of #Immunology at #UVA! Trainees from three Immunology Centers came together to present a wide array of fantastic science on inflammation, immunology, and neuroimmunology!

This will destroy the infectious disease field. Where do all these scientists go when there is no NIH funding? Who will train the next generation of ID scientists if they are gone? What happens when the next new virus hits and there are no trained scientists left? This is not how science works!

This was the first conference I went to as a graduate student in the late 1980s. Charlie Janeway came to my poster! He was so kind and encouraging about my project. I've never forgotten what it meant to me and I try to pay it forward when at trainees posters. #immunosky
