It’s wild that Americans don’t get the link between lots and lots of people having guns and lots and lots of people getting shot.

The murder of Charlie Kirk is part of a disturbing rise in political violence that threatens to hollow out our public life.
A free society relies on the premise that people can speak out without fear or humiliation.
No more political violence.

I'm seeing a lot of big accounts missing the mark on this story. HHS through BARDA is cancelling contracts for mRNA vaccine research related to viral respiratory illnesses. This does not affect mRNA cancer research by NIH and Moderna.
It's still bad news but let's try to keep our facts straight.

There is simply not enough to say about how bad this is. Not only will we miss out on cures for infections & things like pancreatic cancer, the US will fall behind in science, tech, economy, and while other countries will take this over it will still be slowed/delayed. It’s a national security risk!
This is so harmful. Scientists are developing mRNA-based cancer vaccines that could save so many lives.

My work parters are clinicians I trust implicitly with patients, and always have my back personally, but reached potentially new heights today when one emailed the Classics professors at Fresno State to clarify a group text discussion about conjugation of an Ancient Greek word.

Los Angeles residents were outraged after dozens of federal agents marched through MacArthur Park, in one of the city’s most immigrant-heavy neighborhoods. Homeland Security officials said it was an immigration enforcement operation, though it was unclear if anyone had been arrested. trib.al/JYW5IsU

I would like to thank my dad on this fathers’ day, plus a couple of home plumbing issues as a child, for teaching me enough that I was able to quickly find our water main and shut it off last night. Basics but… clutch.

Me climbing last night with a field biologist and an F-18 pilot. In the middle of someone’s complaints about their day someone else looks around and says “you guys ever think about how the three of us had WILDLY different days?”

I was at that protest. We marched from Mariachi plaza. It was totally peaceful until they started lobbing tear gas and flash bangs directly into the crowd.

I think the rest of the country doesn’t understand LA, doesn’t appreciate LA, and underestimates LA. It does not need to be liberated. #vivalosangeles
You know that it's a protest in Los Angeles when there are bacon dogs. Bacon dogs on propane grills are Los Angeles.
