False winds may blur the view, but science and integrity stay steady.

Sharing a note of appreciation for the CDC workforce — those who continue to uphold truth, service, and public health despite the noise.

We see you. We trust you

Screen time before bed = ~50 mins less sleep/week. Night owls hit hardest. 🦉🌙

Early to bed, phones away—happier, wiser you'll stay!

Thank you @warnock.senate.gov, for standing with the thousands of fired CDC workers. These cuts weaken our national public health response. I stand with @apha.org in advocating for justice and science‑based public health policy.

Secretary Kennedy has not responded to my letter from last month demanding answers on why thousands of CDC workers were wrongfully terminated.

So I went to the CDC yesterday to demand that this administration protect public health and reinstate these workers immediately.

Atlanta you gave us hope today. Huge thank you to all those who came out to protest. And to those who couldn't come but were with us in spirit. Keep up the pressure. Get ready for Mayday.

Love this.
Walking is powerful — for the mind, the body, and the spirit.
Thanks for sharing your journey, Ben.

My name is Ben and I have autism.
I’m not less than anyone else I just see
the world differently. Lately I’ve been
working on losing weight by walking.
I walked 5 miles yesterday. It’s also
helps with my confidence and I can
enjoy the outdoors and the scenery.
