#Erasure If you are silent I'm the face of this, it will not save or spare you. Whether we count them or not trans people have always existed and will always exist. www.statnews.com/2025/02/25/c...

CDC will no longer process transgender data

The agency's decision will likely affect a number of federal health surveillance systems that serve as critical resources for researchers.

Black and queer folks have been out here shouting from the rooftops for years about what was going to happen plain as day but some people just wanted to find out for themselves. 👀

Measles are contagious. Measles cause 1 in 4 people to be hospitalized. Measles can be deadly especially in children. Measles can cause blindness & deafness. Measles can cause brain damage yrs later. Measles can cause "immune amnesia". Measles are preventable with MMR vaccine. #medsky #IDsky 🛟 😷🧪

Infographic on Measles in Red, light blue and yellow. It contains the timeline for measles, facts and the R0 that each person can infect 12 to 18 people in an unvaccinated population. Be Wise, Immunize with the MMR vaccine. Getting the vaccine is much safer than getting the disease.

If an institution is encouraging you to avoid words like "trans" be it on slides,talks,meetings, grants you name it as a way of being "cautious", remember they will do exactly same if the word is "Black", "Hispanic", "Indigenous", "Woman" etc. Sit with that for a minute, then decide what u will do.

Today is the international day of the Woman and Girl in Science. To all badass women, scientists keep doing what you do: discovery, mentorship, and hard work. YOU belong in SCIENE. To others, uplift the Women scientists you know, cite them, promote them, sponsor them, invite them - be an upstander.

Thank you, @contagionlive.bsky.social, for providing me with the forum to have this discussion. During these times, scientists cannot be silent about the fallout of ignoring health inequities. We must sustain a commitment to health equity.

This is what journals need to be doing: ignoring orders to self-censor and celebrating and uplifting a diverse scientific workforce

Trying to decide if I need tea, popcorn, or a glass of wine as I settle in to see how these private companies show us what their core values really are…

🧵 When Medicine and Science Ignores Diversity, People Die. 1/ Ignoring diversity in medicine and science is deadly. From unethical experiments to life-threatening misdiagnoses, history is replete with examples of how neglecting race, gender, and identity costs lives. A thread of concrete examples.

I’ve been reflecting on one word that speaks to me each day. Today, my word of the day is COMMUNITY. Community may be different for every person. Is it your work? Home? Church? Regardless of who or where they are, community is peace. Community is hope. Community is strength. Find your community. 👊🏽
