It was surprising and super interesting to learn briefly how the US war production board was coordinating clinical trials and data sharing for antibiotic development, when I was doing research for this piece -
Many people talk about the "Golden Age of Antibiotics", but I hadn't seen it visualized properly.
Just how many types of antibiotics were discovered during that time?
So, I visualized it myself!

When relational, iterative engagement is key to building informal public health capacity both within government and among non-state actors, today’s policy’s payoff well into the future by building up these relationships.
OTOH, this means today’s cuts will reverberate well into the future.

Our two papers on abortion bans and fertility/infant mortality are now out.
In 14 states w/ abortion bans, fertility increased 1.7% and infant mortality increased 6%.
Key takeaway is that these impacts were disproportionately felt among those w/ greatest structural disadvantages.

🧵 US states that implemented abortion bans saw higher than expected infant mortality rates, with larger increases among Black infants and those in southern states, according to this analysis of US national vital statistics data from 2012–2023.
