A gunman opened fire on the CDC campus in Atlanta this evening, and the shooter and a police officer are dead, according to authorities.
The shooter was ill, and blamed their vaccinations for COVID.

I was briefed on the intelligence last week.
Iran posed no imminent threat of attack to the United States. Iran was not close to building a deliverable nuclear weapon. The negotiations Israel scuttled with their strikes held the potential for success.
@asm.org our booth at #ASMicrobe is empty because our comms team was fired. We oppose the damage to NIH-funded research and the people who do it. Please show your support by signing the #BethesdaDeclaration.

This is the fate of science and scientists in 2025 in the US. It will take multiple generations at best to recover…🧪
🧪 Scientists are suing the Trump administration over the termination of NIH grants for research on topics including LGBTQ+ health disparities, sexual assault, and vaccine hesitancy. A court hearing is set for June 16 to address the legality of these cancellations. #AcademicSky

The impact of the #microbiome in human health is so oversold...
But if the microbiome is so critical, then mismatching it should devastate #Host-microbe interactions.
It seems it does.

Our problem is not a lack of young people who want a career in science, our problem is a lack of careers in science
82 million fewer years of life thanks to the reckless policies of Jay Bhattacharya’s NIH - which translates to an estimated $8.2 trillion in life value 😢
You might be wondering why we haven't updated outbreak.info for months.
Well, the reason is that GISAID cut our access in January - as they did others. Without telling us.
After a ♾️ back and forth, that is now permanent.
More on that soon - and why GISAID should not be trusted with critical data.
If you want to know why young people continually feel left behind, it's because they are, on so many fronts. This chart from today's G&M shows how cuts in the federal service fell in the last year. www.theglobeandmail.com/business/art...
Good this study was done but assumes damage wld get addressed. We know many ppl (esp kids) just live w/ bad teeth, normalize discomfort, & the stigma of bad tooth smiles. Plus how many ppl (kids & adults) are thrilled to see a dentist (& have dental ins.)? My pt: many impacts are hard to quantify. 🛟

I appreciate the offers from other scientists to help Harvard (students, labs, etc) through this attack, but what would be most helpful is for you to use your position to contact your elected representatives and make it clear this fight isn't just Harvard, it will affect you, and their districts too
