3rd gen DC, GenX. I’m a fan of books, art, and music. Pretty passionate about free speech, science, and the Oxford comma. I was DOGE’d out of my job in public health —all opinions are my own.

More demoralized than angry. When public health leadership moves away from evidence, the damage to trust can take years to repair. Institutional trustworthiness matters. #DrUcheBlackstock

POWERFUL MOMENT Americans forming a human chain around the Kennedy Center to protect a national memorial from a president threatening to tear it down. JFK’s niece, Kerry Kennedy, called on people to show up, and they did. This will never be the Trump Center, in the people’s eyes.

Today, 25 years after 9/11, we still remember. We remember the clear skies. We remember the people killed. We remember the resilience and unity that followed. With this photo of the sky above the Obama Presidential Center today, we remember alongside the 911 Memorial. #NeverForget911 #RememberTheSky

🧵 25 years ago I was pregnant with my second and feeling tired so I turned on the TV for my two year old—a rarity It was a stunning day in DC with a tinge of autumn and deep blue skies The news cut in and I watched as the first tower was hit, and listening to the newscasters speculate 1/2

Think you’re allergic to penicillin? Ask your doctor about getting evaluated. Most people with a penicillin-allergy label aren't actually allergic, and confirming that can help keep the safest, most effective antibiotics available when you need them. Read more from CIDRAP:

The seasonal flu typically kills 12k-52k/yr in the US. COVID killed ~1.1M. The fact that we suffered the highest death rates among peer developed nations shows how badly we failed. Vaccines aren't a “magical wall.” They train our immune system to fight early so fewer of us end up dead.
