Kinda hilarious anyone wants to pretend these people are motivated by anything other than barbarous cruelty & violence. It's *grotesque*. America empowered the worst of its own in electing Trump, and in turn, he has empowered the worst of America. www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

What to do after attending a conference with colleagues whose life’s work with vulnerable populations is under attack? Go to the NYC #NoKings rally.

American scientists: maybe just pretending as though we aren't subject to the capricious whims of a mad king *isn't* a sensible strategy? The damage to #research, to scientific progress, & to #PublicHealth is going to be generational. We *must* respond accordingly. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Go to scienceimpacts.org to see the effects of disastrous #NIH, #CDC, #NSF & other federal funding cuts on your community (somewhat conservatively estimated, I think). Grim picture for Tennessee & Nashville/Davidson Co. with losses in the *hundreds of millions* 😔 Thanks @joshuasweitz.bsky.social 👍🏾

Just a quick reminder from my colleague Dr. Tara McKay: inclusion of #women and #minorities in research is still federal law ( #PublicHealth & Welfare, amended 2007 ). www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/...

AND...if *you* wanna call your Senators/Representatives & let them know how you feel about attacks on #PublicHealth & #Research, go here: www.congress.gov/members/find... Enter your address, & their contact info appears! If you're a Tennessean, here's the call sheet info we used on Tuesday.

Mental health break! Happiness can be chewing a stick or taking a nap. 😴 Always grateful for my doggos! 💗

Message sent to a friend from #CDC (do not want to reveal identity for fear of retaliation). No notes for my own NIH projects yet (thankfully); NIH has asked other colleagues to scrub language from public-facing websites to comply with this same EO, though.

I may be biased (former scared/closeted gay teen here), but the more we, the voting public, bully #queer youth & remove protections from them, the more we endanger them (higher depression/anxiety/suicidality) & reveal our own barbarity. This is unacceptable. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/31/u....

Aaaand…national #HIV, #HCV, #TB, & #STI data at the county & state levels are now missing…similar blackout for #CDC #SVI. For how long? Can’t ask CDC colleagues because of the communications blackout… In the meantime, some key #SDOH data are here (h/t @nrupen.bsky.social): sdoh.duhs.duke.edu

I have much to be grateful for: family who love me so well & amazing colleagues & friends. Also, most of dinner was spent fending off the sweetest doggos ever. 😍🐶 If you celebrate, I hope you were surrounded by loved ones & able to reflect on all you have to be thankful for- Happy Thanksgiving! 🍁🦃🍽

It *is* lovely, ngl…but honestly, the doggos are better 😉

He’s got the right idea…it’s all in the execution, though. The lazier, gentle inquiry (mid-yawn) works better for me 😉

Don't know if it'll convince clinicians, but these include discussion of why not to condition on future events: PMIDS: 39188581, 22081496 You could also conceptualize this as a mediation problem; "peeking ahead" at exposure/risk factor data is ≡ conditioning on an exposure-outcome mediator...

Today I came across this pic I took of my desk during my master's/PhD years (~11-15 years ago now 😳). I was really lucky I had a dedicated landing space & I tried to make it a little more "me." Anyone else have a fun workspace in grad school? #AcademicSky #PhDSky #EpiSky #StatsSky

Maybe not as informative about the current crises...but some good ol' escapism? Also, it addresses the deep human need to fit patterns to *everything*, even if they're nonsensical (which maybe *is* informative about current crises?)...

One of my faves is by DA Henderson, who led the global smallpox eradication effort at WHO. I have a signed copy (obtained his autograph at a lecture I attended in grad school)! ☺️

There's not anything helpful to say. It's both entirely mundane and horrifically shocking. The longer we allow this to continue, the more we prove that we are *not* a civilized people. 💔😞 www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2023/...
