The first reports of what would eventually be called AIDS and its causative agent identified as HIV were published in the MMWR in 1981 alerting health care and public health systems across the country. A tremendous loss for public health.

Scholars in the US and other countries have now a choice imposed on them: Acquiesce or resist? In this handbook, we outline how scholars can respond during democratic backsliding and encourage reflection on personal values and the consequences of different coping strategies.

OPINION: Federal cuts put addiction treatment and recovery at risk
I vividly remember growing up and my grandmother warning me to be careful with alcohol — because addiction “runs in our family.” She wasn’t wrong. For generations, both sides of

The firing of esteemed IC directors, large numbers of dedicated HHS staffers, and those who run the NSDUH is truly devastating to research, surveillance, and public health capacity.

We Are Not Who They Think We Are: How Human Nature Matters In This Emergency
Rebecca Solnit
 
04 Feb 2025 — 10 min read
Welcome to the emergency--or rather Meditations in an Emergency, this newsletter, not the national emergency, which is of course very unwelcome. What's striking to me about all the things our morally and imaginatively impoverished billionaires, notably Musk and Trump, right now is: they do not expect or imagine or understand consequences. Any of them– their theory of change seems to be that they are going to do stuff and then it will be done. Like they're moving furniture around, like you and I and the trans and immigrant communities and federal workers and Canada and Mexico are just so many sofas and chairs that are going to sit where they place us. Like we're inanimate objects. Maybe everything is dead in the sad lonely worldview inside their head. Which would also explain their recalcitrance about climate and nature: if you see it as a collection of inert objects rather than an intricate living system in which what you do to any one part may affect the whole, you grant yourself more license to meddle. But today I'm here to talk about the human--and human nature, and how they misunderstand that too.
