At the Bratislava Training School, @nunohfranco.bsky.social will teach key principles of #experimentaldesign—such as randomization, blinding, sample size, and bias control—to help ensure that #animalresearch is reliable, #reproducible, and aligned with the #3Rs. @costprogramme.bsky.social #training

Donald Trump is withdrawing medical research dollars from some of our top universities. This is a disaster for medical breakthroughs. He says it is about Anti Semitism, but criticizing Israel’s policy in Gaza is not per se Anti Semitism.

Peter Marks’s resignation letter. Everyone should read this.

Peter Marks, MD, PhD
Director, Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research U.S. Food and Drug Administration

Sara Brenner, MD, MPH

Silver Spring, MD 20903
Dear Dr. Brenner:
It is with a heavy heart that I have decided to resign from FDA and retire from federal service as Director of the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research effective April 5, 2025. I leave behind a staff of professionals who are undoubtedly the most devoted to protecting and promoting the public health of any group of people that I have encountered during my four decades working in the public and private sectors. I have always done my best to advocate for their well-being and I would ask that you do the same during this very difficult time during which their critical importance to the safety and security of our nation may be underappreciated.
Over the past years I have been involved in enhancing the safety of our nation's blood supply, in advancing the field of cell and gene therapy, and in responding to public health emergencies. In the last of these, during the COVID-19 pandemic I had the privilege of watching the vision that I conceived for Operation Warp Speed in March 2020 in collaboration with Dr. Robert Kadlec become a reality under the leadership of HHS Secretary Azar and President Trump due to the unwavering commitment of public servants at FDA and elsewhere across the government. At FDA, the tireless efforts of staff across the agency resulted in remarkably expediting the development of vaccines against the virus, meeting the standards for quality, safety, and effectiveness expected by the American public. The vaccines undoubtedly markedly reduced morbidity and mortality from COVID-19 in the United States and elsewhere. Many of these same individuals applied learnings from the pandemic during a flawless response helping…

New paper on Animal Welfare journal! We explored contactless body temperature assessment as a refinement for signalling humane endpoints in a mouse model of sepsis. TL:DR: Subcutaneous temperature is a better predictor than weight loss, in severe murine models of sepsis. doi.org/10.1017/awf....

Could someone explain why Spaniards - and only Spaniards - often send emails with queries in Spanish to an international organization, which website (and courses, and content), is all in English? What would they say if we replied to them in Finnish, Hungarian, or German?

🗣️ Why is communication in animal research essential? @nunohfranco.bsky.social (@i3suporto.bsky.social) 🧑‍🔬 highlighted the evolution of social acceptability in animal research over time and its relevance today. His insights inspire us to reflect on the role of public opinion in science. 🌟💡

Animal Research #communication webinar will kick off with the amazing @nunohfranco.bsky.social from i3S - Instituto de Investigação e Inovação em Saúde. He’ll dive into the social acceptability of animal research in the past and present. Don’t miss this fascinating talk!

Tenho duas contas no Twitter. Uma em inglês, outra em tuga. A primeira mais profissional, onde sigo e sou seguido por colegas, outra mais informal, onde escrevo o que me apetecer. Comecei a ser seguido e identificado em publicações de colegas estrangeiros no Bsky. E agora? Não quero duas contas!!!

1. O termo "estatisticamente significativo" está mal aplicado e sem referências. 2. Há muita iliteracia numa certa esquerda. É vê-los aos magotes a fazerem Reiki e homeopatia. 3. A legitimação - por via da regulação - de práticas pseudocientíficas foi uma iniciativa de um partido de esquerda.

Não sabia ser hoje o Dia Nacional da Cultura Científica. O que mostra quão pouco importante é para as nossas autoridades culturais, para as quais cultura são só livros do séc. XIX e peças que ninguém vê. A Cultura Científica é essencial para a saúde, inteligência, felicidade e união entre os povos.

The right does indeed have a big Bluesky problem. X gave the right an opportunity to 'own the libs' and persuade the persuadables to join their side. Bluesky could deprive them of both. Gift article to read and share. www.theatlantic.com/technology/a...

The Right Has a Bluesky Problem

The X exodus is weakening a way for conservatives to speak to the masses.

finally a reasonable take

Liberals and the left do not need the right to
be online in the way that the right needs
liberals and the left. The nature of reactionary
politics demands constant confrontations-
literal reactions- to the left. People like Rufo
would have a substantially harder time trying
to influence opinions on a platform without
liberals. "Triggering the libs" sounds like a
joke, but it is often essential for segments of
the right. This explains the popularity of some
X accounts with millions of followers, such as
Libs of TikTok, whose purpose is to troll
liberals.
The more liberals leave X, the less value it
offers to the right, both in terms of cultural
relevance and in opportunities for trolling.
