Wakefield is a disgraced British former physician who created the fraudulent study that suggested that vaccines cause autism. It was his research that folks like Jenny McCarthy took and spread. So he started the fire and Jenny McCarthy poured gasoline on it.

Excellent juxtaposition here (made even better by the fact that I was met with the error NotEnoughResources when I tried to post 😆)

So glad to see you here! I really valued your viewpoint on Twitter back in the day and was sad when you (understandably) left there. Hope you find things to be better here 🤞

I don't think anyone has started a Learning Scholars starter pack, so here we go! Let me know if you'd like to be added, removed, etc. Please share!

I created a thread of Bluesky Starter Packs that interest me since there currently isn't a repository of searchable packs. If you have one feel free to reply with it so people can find more. I'll keep adding to the thread as I discover them.

Friends, another starter pack - created by the good folks at @prideinstem.bsky.social. It features #LGBTIQA+ people across STEM.
So ....
a) Give folks on this list if you like
b) if you are a queer person in STEM, let the Pride in STEM folks know to add you to this pack!

New starter pack filled with researchers and journalists studying our information environment, rumors, false information, how to correct misbeliefs, and ways to make it easier for people to find accurate information.
I know I missed people so please let me know who else to add!

I've tried twice to get it for my 9-year-old, both times we showed up (for a scheduled appointment, where we had to provide his DOB when signing up) and they told us they didn't have the right doses for under-12-year-olds. I can't believe how hard it is to get this!
