I think it's also a life choice. I know I am privileged, and that affects my capacity to speak my mind, but since very young I understood that it is also a sacrifice that I was willing to do to stay true to myself.

WATCH: Researchers at Stanford University modeled how many people could die or be disabled in 25 years if vaccines for polio, measles, rubella or diphtheria were no longer available.
Thank you for your courage to publicly address abusive language.
We have an exciting new story out at @science.org's Science Immunology! It is all about using #AAV-mediated cytokine delivery to change the lung environment. We can boost #lung #Tregs or delivery anti-inflammatory #cytokines, preventing fatal respiratory collapse

"We must become less reliant on American tools and regain control of our digital destiny. We can no longer accept that our data, our infrastructure, our strategic decisions depend on solutions whose rules, pricing, evolution, and risks we do not control."
Notice how the most celebrated and successful space mission in *decades* was run by at least 50% “DEI hires”—not all white men? And not even all Americans. Maybe diversity *is* strength . . .
Over 150 million lives. Saved by vaccines. Since 1974. Together for health. Stand with science. Image shows a group of schoolchildren with an adult, smiling.
More than 150 million lives. Saved by vaccines. Since 1974. That is health and science in action.

Aren't they driven to the heat provided by those lamps???
“The last night I was a pediatric resident, a child came in with Hib and promptly died by the next day. I didn’t work for 50 years to have everything destroyed by one man.”

This is what RFK Jr. and the anti-vaxxers have wrought.
You forgot eye-to-paw laser coordination.
All the things we cannot see! Congratulations!!
The Horrors That Could Lie Ahead if Vaccines Vanish

“Every $1,300 New York City invested in building bike lanes in 2015 provided benefits equivalent to one additional year of life at full health over the lifetime of all city residents, according to a new economic assessment.”
That’s a better return on investment than some direct health treatments…”
I don't think people fully appreciate how apocalyptic things are for US science. I haven't had any new funding since 2024, but I'm still ok since typical grants are for three years. This means next year I will be completely out of funding and will have to fire everyone in the lab. It's not great.
after much deliberation and giving AI the benefit of the doubt, Wikipedia editors have had enough of AI slop. New policy bans LLM generated content, periodt www.404media.co/wikipedia-ba...
Since 1994, immigrants have paid more in taxes than they receive in benefits every year.
Do not believe the lies you hear about immigrants.
They are good for society and the economy.

Congrats! This seems quote powerful... I wonder how much it could be adapted for the study of organogenesis or tissue environment organization in humans.
Wholy Molly!
Even among healthy people, immune systems operate at different baseline levels.
In our new Cell paper, we show that these immune states are stable over time and are associated with the gut microbiome. 🧵

Pretty crazy how important the blockade of a trade route is right now
How much more evidence do we need? The ultra-rich and the governments supporting them will destroy everything for the sake of profit, power and pride. Nothing is precious to them - not human life, not the living world - except their own wealth and status. Our survival depends on resisting them.
Hatred, ignorance, fear, greed, and discrimination are viruses, magnified by suffering, carried in buckets, spilled onto the world.
We cannot eliminate them by actions that magnify hatred, ignorance, fear, greed, discrimination and suffering - only by actions that relieve them.
A big part of the authoritarian playbook is war. War takes over the news. War blots out criticism. War divides a nation’s people, subjecting those against it to being called unpatriotic. War grants leaders all sorts of emergency powers. War consumes everything else.
We mustn’t let this war do so.

The richest man owns X.
The second and third richest men control Google.
The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.
The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post.
And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros.
See the problem here?
Totally agree. I believe there are a few articles showing good evidence of this also in vaccine responses.
