Whitewater canoeing is my passion. Doing my best to dodge COVID, while helping others to navigate turbulent waters similarly. Be safe out there!

Want to stick it to the corporations?

Wear a mask.

Americans are dying younger and saving the ruling class billions of dollars.

You can help prevent that by masking up and refusing to normalize the spread of covid & other airborne diseases.

This is your seasonal reminder to put a mask on or, at the bare minimum, a scarf. Cold noses lead to a weakened immune system. That means Cold Nose = Getting Sick.

Cover up. Stay warm. Stay healthy!

Before WWII, the language of science was German. Scientific papers were published in German. International conferences happened in German. After the Nazis gutted research and exiled scientists fled to the USA, that language became English.

Anyway, just thinking about learning Mandarin for no reason

According to the car wash owner, agents arrested employees before they could obtain their documentation from their work lockers. So many were likely here legally.

Scientists should graduate ready to share what they know, effectively. Even the top science programs in our country do not require science communication and public engagement for their graduates. This is dangerous. Let's change the future. Sign the petition to make a difference: bit.ly/3LbnfHB

Imaging post-op showed numerous insufficiency microfractures in the spine. I blame the accelerated osteoporosis on COVID. Lazy clinicians call it old age. Just think of the millions of other undiagnosed cases of #longCOVID out there just like this

I thought it sounded familiar. Perhaps the biggest lesson of the pandemic (apart from the need to mitigate airborne transmission of respiratory infections) is that there’s almost no amount that you can spend on prevention (for everyone everywhere) that is too much.

Narratives matter as they contribute to collective awareness and shaping policy. The high levels of disability associated with COVID, the poorer health & quality of life, the lasting marginalization of the vulnerable (e.g. immunocompromised), the unsafe access to health care, etc. must be addressed.
Maybe unpopular take but I think "during COVID" is fine!
Death data show a clear acute phase from spring 2020 until spring 2022. Since then deaths have steadily trended downward and this winter fell below flu deaths. You can take COVID seriously and still talk about the worst of it in the past tense
