Some adults in their late 50s or 60s may have gotten an early measles vaccine that turned out not to convey lasting immunity. Read about that (and all things #measles) in my latest NatGeo article. (No paywall) www.nationalgeographic.com/health/artic...

Should you get a measles booster? Here's how to protect yourself amid the recent outbreaks.

University research is the "invisible hand" in advancing innovation
At a recent fireside chat at Rice University, ASU President Michael Crow uses the evolution of the iPhone as an example of the vital impact of academic research on the development of technologies and innovations that people use every day. The talk, with Rice President Reginald DesRoches, was hosted by Rice’s Baker Institute for Public Policy on Feb. 24, 2025, in Houston.

I wrote about CDC’s disease detectives back in 2012. These folks are invited by states to help find and contain illness outbreaks — E coli, SARS, salmonella caused by raw milk cheese (!). We lose them, we get sicker. www.zdnet.com/article/dise...

Is there a central place you can go to browse all starter packs? If not, do you just find them when the pop up in your feed? Or search #starterpack?

👋 I'm Christina I help health care and science brands and institutions tell clear and compelling stories about their wonderful work. When I'm not reporting/writing/strategizing, I'm usually momming or reading. Looking forward to posting here about health and science, freelance writing, and BOOKS.
