@eliowa.bsky.social, you came!☺️
Thought of your simple observation that early-career awards w/age limits leave people out, esp ♀️
It sparked great collaboration
But I never did the implementation work

Wait, Marc, I've got a screenshot that includes Tara @aetiology.bsky.social (although we're down to half of @germhuntermd.bsky.social, sorry!). Was a great discussion but I hope we didn't pile on @drneilstone.bsky.social too much... Luckily he was tough and gracious at the same time.

Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

‘Tulip’ comes from the Turkish word ‘tülbent’ which means "turban."

The flower got its name from the resemblance of its overlapping petals to the folds of fabric in a turban.

Russia murdered 7 people in Kyiv last night, and injured 13 others.

Civilian people, who were sleeping in their homes, where they were supposed to be safe, but weren’t, because our neighbor is a terrorist.

In the American ‘peace plan,’ some wording was found that had originally been written in Russian, The Guardian reports.

Im surprised they even bothered to translate it.

I can no longer cite CDC or NIH in footnotes. Switching to Mayo Clinic, MGH and Johns Hopkins.
This is really awful. The CDC’s page stating vaccines do not cause autism (reality) has been zombified as a platform for conspiracy theories saying they do. Such a crime to dissuade parents from these safe vaccines and bamboozle parents of kids with autism on the causes www.wsj.com/health/healt...
CDC Changes Webpage to Say Vaccines May Cause Autism, Revising Prior Language
The text on vaccines had been a focal point for both vaccine skeptics, who criticized it, and public health advocates, who wondered how far RFK Jr. would go to change it.

💊 Newborns are often the last in line for antibiotics and it takes decades to adapt adult treatments for children.

We need to improve the global #AMR response for children and newborns! 👶

GARDP is working to develop new treatments for children, especially newborns with sepsis.

If there was any doubt at all that the CDC is fully destroyed, this page on autism and vaccines on its website confirms it. It's now just another vessel of dangerous health misinformation. I have no words. This is beyond sad.
