The discussions of masking here highlight a huge misunderstanding in how airborne viruses function. This, in turn, highlights a massive failure in public health education. Public Health needs to highlight the difference between airborne and droplet transmission. It is vital to protect our health.

I recently learned the term "narcissistically defended" and it has changed my perspective. I think we throw around the term "narcissist" too much these days. Not everyone who exhibits narcissistic traits is a narcissist. Using a term this impactful carelessly has led to dilution and desensitization.

I'm curious. What's the #academic community's true view of #AI? Any ethical concerns? Are some people excited about the possibilities? Are others wary of the consequences? What are your thoughts #AcademicSky? #EpiSky #MedSky #ScienceSky #ResearchSky #ArtificialIntelligence

Wow. It's wild that we make so little that we qualify for government assistance. I had no idea.

That's awful!! BCBAs like that should not be allowed anywhere near neurodivergent individuals.

I recently stepped back from pursuing a #PhD and I felt knocked off course and imbalanced. However, I found that my love for #datascience has actually grown, and I'm exploring the fields of behavioral science and computational #psychology. It's an interesting new path, but I'm excited. #PublicHealth

A measles outbreak in the United States. I don't think people understand how anomalous that sounds. Something like this should never have happened. It was completely preventable. #PublicHealth #Epidemiology #EpiSky #InfectiousDisease #IDSky

Rep. Ogles proposed an amendment to the Constitution allowing a president to serve a 3rd term, enabling Trump to run again. However, amending the Constitution requires 2/3 approval from the House & Senate, plus ratification from 3/4 of state legislatures, making it impossible. Dream on- Aerosmith

Trump and his team keep referencing a third term. But could he actually run again?

The 22nd amendment bars presidents from a third term in office. Is it enough to stop Trump?

Thanks for saying that. I feel like I'm 'wasting time' if I don't keep working on my skills and advancing my career during this time.

Cecirahim Sesay, MPH @cecirahim.bsky.social · 03/02/2025

So, I'm taking a break from PhD studies. I'm burnt out, exhausted, and my mental health took a downturn. However, the question is "What now?" I've been asked that too many times. I've just been looking for jobs to keep working on my skills. Any advice? #AcademicSky #PublicHealth #EpiSky #IDSky

Update: All the major COVID-19 and other infectious disease data pages mentioned in this story now appear to be updating on regular schedules again, despite reports that the comms ban at HHS will be extended. The data.cdc.gov portal is also back online after briefly going down over the weekend.

If an #H5N1 pandemic starts tomorrow or in three months, there will be little mystery as to how it happened. The conditions are all there. They have been for a while. So in some ways the more interesting question to me at the moment is: Why aren’t we in a pandemic yet? Story here, 🧵 to come: 🧪#IDSky

science.org

Why hasn’t the bird flu pandemic started?

Some scientists examining mutations found in H5N1 viruses fear major outbreak is imminent but others says pathogen remains unpredictable

An outbreak of avian yet unknown cause has been flagged in the #DRC. So far 143 people have died. Symptoms are flu like symptoms and severe headaches ( basically most viral infections can present like this). Hoping we get confirmation of the etiology quickly. www.theguardian.com/world/2024/d...

Many people do not grasp the real risk of an outbreak of avian influenza in humans. ⚠️ Large outbreaks in livestock ⚠️Unexplained sporadic human cases ⚠️ Infected farm workers ⚠️ Tainted raw milk. Viruses thrive on opportunities and right now #H5N1 in US is at the unchecked opportunities buffet.

⚠️PSA ABOUT SCAMMERS There's been an uptick in impersonators who target users with easily swappable handles (i's for l's, o's for 0's, varying repeated letters, etc) They will always 1) block the original artist 2) target users who have replied with interest, either thru QRPs, replies, or DMs (+)

I like this a lot!! I would like to do the same. I think it'll be good for me as a PhD student. How do you choose the books? Do you pre-select them before you begin reading? As for the papers, how do you decide which ones are worth reading? There's a lot of good science published every day.

A measles outbreak costs, on average, $33,000 USD per case to contain. These costs include medical care, lost paid work hours, and case investigation. Because public health is already underfunded, it causes severe strain on limited resources. Vaccinate. pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...
