🧵 thread on helping your community minimize H5N1 risk:
H5N1 was detected in Tallahassee wastewater. Knew this from wild bird cases since 2022 + sampling at farms
Specifically seeing cow remains strewn about on farms—something I’ve never seen in 3 gens of my family raising cattle in FL.

If seeing the news that mules are delivering supplies into Appalachia is surprising you, check out the WPA Book Women, who used mules and pack horses to deliver books to remote citizens, increasing literacy rates and providing jobs. Appalachia's always had a special relationship with these animals.
These Kentucky Librarians Traveled Miles on Horseback to Deliver Books During the Great Depression
In the depths of the Great Depression, groups of librarians known as the "book women" loaded up their horses with books and journeyed deep into the Kentucky mountains to deliver reading material to th...

I worked on this for months, and I'm so excited to share it with TON readers. Thank you so much to @rachelzamzow.bsky.social and @kaozelli.bsky.social for helping me shape this resource—I hope that it can help journalists feel empowered to cover Indigenous science and decolonize our field.

Stevie Nicks talks masking and rejecting mask shaming !! www.rollingstone.com/music/music-...
![Interviewer: Where do you prefer that I sit?
Stevie Nicks: You're good right there, as long as you don't think you have Covid.
Interviewer: No, I don't.
Stevie Nicks: Well, thank goodness we're done [touring] for a while, so I can go home and not have a mask on all the time. As a singer with asthma, I fucking hate the masks, but I wear them. People give you dirty looks.
I dare anybody to give me a dirty look. I would just say, "Hey, you know what? I'm Stevie Nicks. And if I get sick, my entire thing goes down. Forty families are out of work. So that's why I have a mask on, asshole."
I can't get [Covid] again. I mean, I'm old, so I'll only be around for another 15 years. But you guys have another 30 or 40 years, so you should think about it.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:hdawzc4bxkp56orwiht5kedq/bafkreiaf7few5qqn4pm6mlx6irdz6nw5wswkpuebabpjt6mifygeuegw6u@jpeg)

Ooh. Happy to see Lifehacker recommending PlusLife home tests, that’s worked out so well for my household.
If anyone needs the discount link, just lmk, it really reduces the upfront cost, and now we get PCR-quality results for $8, in 30 mins. It rules.

Excited to share our latest work led by Josh Soto Ocaña & Elliot Friedman in mBio today! Together with Gary Wu's team at UPenn, we suggest metals may be an important nutritional factor shaping early life microbial ecology in infants.
