I'm heartbroken to learn that the entire year-1 class of Epidemic Intelligence Service Officers were fired today. The EIS Officers are CDCs "disease detectives" who respond to outbreaks in hot zones, putting their own lives in danger to protect public health 1/3

Today is the first week since 1960 that CDC has not released its Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report. While we, in public health, are actively watching avian flu and several unusual patterns of disease, this is devastating.

All NIH study sections canceled indefinitely. This will halt science and devastate research budgets in universities.

Weird that we have to say this, but the government doesn’t get to decide what gender a person is.

Great news! I got a new job! It’s full time, in the tech industry, and my position involves increasing revenue through engagement. Downside is there is no pay. It’s just refreshing apps in terror of what’s to come.

As a public health epidemiologist, and also a human with basic empathy, I'm struggling to not feel depressed about the state of the US right now. Anyone have any morale boosters for me?
