So the anti-vax organization founded by the current HHS secretary is hosting a dark mirror bullshit clone of the CDC’s website.
No wonder they were in such a hurry to delete the CDC’s data.

🧵NEW: A CDC clone website is filled with false and misleading vaccine claims against a backdrop of false balance. The NGO (Children's Health Defense) led by the current HHS Secretary until December 2024 is hosting content for the CDC clone.

On #InternationalDayofWomenandGirlsinScience let me remind you that we are NOWHERE NEAR parity. A few examples.
1. Women are credited less in science than men.

Women are credited less in science than men - Nature
The difference between the number of men and women listed as authors on scientific papers and inventors on patents is at least partly attributable to unacknowledged contributions by women scientists.

I have faced fascism before, in this very country. I was one of 120,000 Japanese Americans summarily rounded up and expelled from our homes at gunpoint, all for the crime of looking like the people who bombed Pearl Harbor.

We’ve got free scanners from coast to coast to coast! It’s a great time to be a fish morphologist
This is our brand new Skyscan 1273. Same one @sternarchella.bsky.social has. Ours is free to use. Come on over and bring a suitcase of specimens.

'One-of-a-kind' skull fossil from Brazil reveals bird brain evolution
'One-of-a-kind' skull fossil from Brazil reveals bird brain evolution
The brains of today's birds facilitate a level of cognitive prowess and behavioral complexity rivaled only by mammals. But how the avian brain evolved over many millions of years from an ancestral dinosaurian form has long puzzled scientists. That has now changed thanks to a spectacular fossil discovery in Brazil.

If you haven't gotten your Tdap (tetanus/diphtheria/pertussis) in the last 10 years, get updated! Pertussis can be deadly for infants but even in adults, it can lead to months of poor sleep from coughing and even broken ribs from the intensity of the cough. Protect yourself and others!
