A few other books by Zimmer-

🦠 One of the top science writers/journalists in my collection. I just pre-ordered it 👊👊

“Every day we draw in 2,000 gallons of air—& thousands of living things. From the ground to the stratosphere, the air teems with invisible life. This last great biological frontier remains so mysterious 1/

Done. I’ve read many of your books 👊👊

And here my Pinned Thread is completely devoted to this topic. Perhaps @wired.com might like to examine the podcasts, papers, testimony, interviews there….

They have killed the Epidemic Intelligence Service AKA “the disease detectives.” These are the experts on the frontlines protecting us from new and old infectious disease threats. Gone. In tbe stroke of a pen.

Kennedy says panel will examine childhood vaccine schedule after promising not to change it Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told agency employees that a commission formed by President Donald Trump will investigate the childhood vaccine schedule.

Should be one of those 15 mins meeting - “yup, tons and tons of data, safe and effective. Anything else? Nope, okay, adjourned”.

No sweat.

Apparently he was not apt student in History classes…

Absolutely. I have a 40 + Pinned Thread on LL nonsense. FCS, as you point out, are found in a variety of viruses.

Trump’s siege of science: how the first 30 days unfolded and what’s next The breakneck pace and devastating impact of the administration’s policy changes has shocked researchers.

It matters that scientists speak out against what is being done to US science.

Staying silent is neither "objective" nor "staying out of politics".

Silence now *is* political - it supports the status quo, says "nothing to worry about".

We need to sound the alarm.

There’s almost nothing funnier than when Ebright gets triggered.

Perhaps he’d like to read/listen/watch my Pinned Thread…🧐😂

Smart surveillance really coming into its own. Air, water, and surface sampling in bird markets w NGS can outperform traditional swab based approaches in detecting in a diversity of viruses, including avian influenza. Amazing work by @E_A_Karlsson + team

BLOCKED. Because I’m not the FFace Whisperer.

Federal Register Blackout Blocks NIH Funding New strategy is like pouring 'cement in the pipes of the federal funding infrastructure'

#Scientists need to speak up to save the institutions that fund #scientific #research like #NIH, the largest public funding agency supporting #science in the world. That's why I spoke to @medpagetoday.bsky.social.

No one will be reading history in 50 years. Anyone left will be trying to survive.

I believe it is one of the most important books of our our time. An astonishing education that should be required reading in schools and certainly for all HCPs.

Yeah, found my way back but have important call mañana so might be off for rest of night…🙄

Mine were:

A) Only a very few medical schools teach a dedicated Virology course

B) PCPs have an avg of 4 hrs/week to read medical news
