Several databases at the #CDC have gone offline today. We know of some — Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System, AtlasPlus. There are undoubtedly more.
If you are a researcher & use these databases, please share with @statnews.com how this will affect your work.

It's impossible to overstate how much @laurahelmuth.bsky.social has shaped science journalism for the better. She is a fiercely dedicated and skilled editor and a compassionate leader with an unshakeable moral compass. I've turned to Laura as a mentor & friend for my entire career and always will.
I’ve decided to leave Scientific American after an exciting 4.5 years as editor in chief. I’m going to take some time to think about what comes next (and go birdwatching), but for now I’d like to share a very small sample of the work I’ve been so proud to support (thread)

The Graves talk -- the 2024 Patrusky Lecture sponsored by CASW -- was excellent, eye-opening, and both inspiring & depressing. @bowlerhatscience.org shares the key points in this thread.

I just learned that Elon Musk has been siccing his followers on @laurahelmuth.bsky.social, editor-in-chief of Scientific American, after she spoke her mind on election night (in posts that she has since deleted).
I have a few things to say about that.
