22 years ago I pivoted from working on antibiotic resistance to pandemic viruses.
Since then, I've argued that if we care about saving US lives in expectation, advance capacity for producing bird flu vaccine offers by far the greatest expected return on investment.

Pretty wild to be living in a time when humans are being forced to work in order to even be considered deserving of life or even to be considered human at all, while simultaneously human labor is being systematically eliminated from the concept of work.

Self-identifying as a centrist is perhaps the most cynical and amoral political identity you can have because you're just openly admitting your beliefs aren't really beliefs they're just strategic positions that only exist relative to others in the room you happen to be in

just learned that Maya people make rubber by mixing latex from a Moraceae rubber tree with the juice of a morning glory, a process completely distinct and independent from the natural rubber in Asia that comes from a Euphorbiaceae rubber tree.

Disability is not a moral failing. Everyone who lives long enough will become disabled eventually.
You can’t “try harder” your way out of it.
People can’t accept disability is a part of life, so they blame us for being sick as a way to convince themselves it’ll never happen to them.
It will.

Marco Rubio just announced 10 more people were sent to be imprisoned in CECOT. They were flown there from Gitmo to be imprisoned potentially for life based not on any crime for which they were convicted, but on unproven allegations of gang membership with no due process.
This is not lawful.

expecting people to accommodate your e.g. ADHD traits while you show outright hostility towards people expressing even mild CPTSD or BPD symptoms is wild. There is evidence that genetics play a significant role in trauma-related conditions.
