I relocated from Brazil to the US in 2017 for a Postdoc in Neuroscience. A dream coming true, the US was the place to be in my field. The country I moved to no longer exists. Now I'm preparing to move to Germany, and sad about all the scientists who don't have the same chance to escape. #BrainDrain
This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again.

It's obvious right now that the instability in geopolitics is rapidly heading towards an inflection point. This point may well involve serious civil unrest and / or armed conflict. Should this occur, you will fare better if you are as healthy as possible. Keep your respirator on.

Blaming vaccines is easier because it feels like it’s something controllable. Covid is airborne and this is a much more concerning reality. There is no need to panic, we have the science to prevent. Problems can only be fixed however, when we are able to talk about them.

What we are seeing now is just the tip of the iceberg. The focus on blaming the vaccines instead of the virus will only continue to make things worse. Condemning a whole generation that has not even born yet.

Global health threats are inextricably linked to geopolitics. The direction the world is taking is now highly unpredictable, but one thing is absolutely certain to me: the only real winners will be pathogens. The US administration is now a force multiplier for infectious disease.

JAMA: COVID-19 infection in pregnancy is associated with increased risk of neurodevelopmental disorders in early childhood.
We were warned about maternal immune activation YEARS ago.
Clean air, masking, and prevention were never “overreactions.” They were child-protection.
They still are.

'The long-term impact of COVID-19 may be consequential years after the infection and give rise to long-term illnesses including neurocognitive problems similar to what is seen in Alzheimer's disease'.

New important publication in #LongCovid & #MECFS!
After a viral infection, cells lining our blood vessels can become damaged and enter senescence, similar to accelerated aging. These cells are not healthy, but they also don’t disappear. Instead, they send out constant stress & inflammatory signals.
