I’ve been taking some moments to just lie on the floor lately and honestly, in the most literal way, it is quite grounding

In times like these, I can’t help but go back to the immortal words of The Offspring: “Shit is fucked up.”

Measles high infection rate is the reason we have not yet been able to eradicate it. That rate means you need a very high vaccination rate to prevent outbreaks. It is possible, but not with current levels of institutional distrust.
The average person with the flu gives it to around 1.4 people. The average person with measles gives it to between 12 and 18 people.
Measles cases continue to surge globally, putting millions of children at risk.
More than 10 million people globally were infected with measles in 2023, a 20% increase from the previous year.

Lately I’ve been taking solace in re-reading Maximum Ride as an escape from, well, *gestures widely at everything.* This line brought tears to my eyes, man, we’ve failed you, Max.

A federal judge ordered the CDC to restore some pages that the Trump admin deleted. The pages were restored today, but they removed terms like transgender and nonbinary, and pinned this discriminatory note to the top of the pages.

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too.
EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them.

Vaccines work! As measles cases have recently been reported in Alaska, Georgia, New York, Rhode Island and Texas, it's important to remember that prior to the introduction of the measles vaccine in 1963, measles killed 400-500 people and resulted in ~48,000 hospitalizations per year.

no funding if it seems like the research MIGHT involve a woman or a nonwhite person
🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

Nothing like sitting in a presentation about H5N1 when the speaker says “We have a lot of follow up experiments to perform but given the state of the NIH right now…” Literally everyone in the room was this gif.
