1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

The grant to protect the village in Alaska that lost all it's homes this week, with houses literally floating away in the flood, was only $20 million 🫠

$172 million on private jets for Kristi Noem? Incredible.
Meanwhile, the Coast Guard is supposed to save lives and protect our coasts, but apparently it’s easier and far more important to fund her personal travel budget. Wasteful doesn’t even begin to cover it.

We're going 6/10 for today (Tuesday): As long as the sun breaks through by afternoon, we can give this day a slightly above average rating.
We finally break free of the coastal storm later day. That means sunny days ahead but with a lingering breeze.

Western Alaska was hit hard by the recent storms. Houses floated away in Kipnuk, houses flipped over, people lost everything from the flooding that came with the storms. Please donate if you can. This group has a long history of supporting AK communities.

It is impossible for me to stress to you, as one of the authors of the widest-cited paper projecting Aedes aegypti-borne virus risk under climate change, the degree to which we do not need to be worrying about yellow fever epidemics in the United States right now compared to other real things

There is a lot of discussion going on right now from Jews about left wing antisemitism. One of my frustrations is that it feels like any time this gets brought up, we get dismissed. There is left wing antisemitism, it is harmful, & it should be a larger discussion.

What Tufecki is doing is not good for the reputation of either the NYT or Princeton fwiw. And it's a solid paper, worth considering seriously. (paper here: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... )
But apparently Zeynep Tufekci is taking it seriously, and thinks that we "juniors" (erm, we are two PIs) were abandoned on the sinking zoonosis ship by "senior authors", who would have refused to join us because they now know it's a lab leak...

This is a real Catch-22 where you won’t read my paper unless there are “seniors” on it and you’ve decided every “senior” in the relevant field is misleading the public on origins.
