Who decides what health messages South Africans are allowed to hear? With 5 of the country's top 10 causes of death now being NCDs, could this court case could reshape public health comms? Read this report from @examination.org. bhekisisa.org/health-news-...

Who would’ve thought that scientists would need to gather and discuss this in 2025… but here we are. Listening to the opening by @lewan.bsky.social

Use of certain terms = banned on US gov websites (and in scientific journal manuscripts): “gender”, “transgender”, “LGBT”, and “non-binary”, and a directive has paused the submission of new work for publication for all CDC employees and contractors. www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...
In 2003, the year in which #Pepfar was launched, I moved to Kenya to head up a Pepfar-funded media project. Here’s why I believe #Trump2025's policies for such projects are killing more than #HIV programmes - and why waivers won't fix the damage already done. bhekisisa.org/opinion/2025...

Thread for those new to BlueSky. First of all, welcome. It feels like a safer space, doesn’t it? But also perhaps a bit disorienting initially? Here’s some tips for getting your bearings.
🚨 NEW PUBLICATION 🚨 in Judgment and Decision Making: "Evaluating science: A comparison of human and AI reviewers" together with @annashch.bsky.social, @hoomanhb.bsky.social & @susafiedler.bsky.social Link to #OpenAccess paper: doi.org/10.1017/jdm....

New paper! Biases are among the cognitive antecedents of delusions and conspiracy theories. Does this mean that when we have delusions and conspiracy theories we should be excluded from shared epistemic projects? (Spoiler: no) link.springer.com/ar... open access! #philsky
