World NTD day is also the perfect time for me to have a committee meeting for my dissertation work, so I’m off to go finish prepping for that 😂

Becca Blyn and I co-wrote a piece for Science Policy in a SNAP (the @snapcoalition.bsky.social awesome blog on Medium). Medium only lets you have 1 “author” which is silly.
Becca and I hope you enjoy, reflect on today, and learn something new!

Today CBP officers executed Alex Jeffrey Pretti, a 37 year old nurse who worked at the VA. He was an observer, he was restrained and he was on the ground.
The Star Tribune reports that federal agents "attempted to order local police from the scene" where a man was shot and killed by feds this morning, but Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara refused and "instructed his officers to preserve the scene."
Live: Man shot and killed by federal agents in south Minneapolis this morning, police chief says
A video appears to shows federal agents wrestling a man to the ground then shooting him.

When science is sidelined, people get hurt. As Louisiana's surgeon general, Ralph Abraham put the lives of children at risk. Now RFK has installed him — and his dangerous anti-science views — as deputy director of CDC.
