There’s much precedent for ignoring HIV/AIDS

It tragically allowed the epidemic to grow worse & take more lives

May we learn from history & speak to the importance of supporting continued progress against HIV in the US & around the world

Paul Ekman died last week - I found out via @hillaryanger.bsky.social on FB. Surprised there's no NYT or WashPo obit.
I took a class with him and he was friends/coauthors with my friend's mom. Hugely impactful on the field. Too much to say in a skeet.

@jennifernuzzo.bsky.social: Any human infection with a novel flu virus demands close attention to ensure it hasn’t gained the ability to spread easily between people.

CDC still says the risk to the general public remains low ⤵️

Toad looked at his garden. Little green plants were coming up out of the ground.

Preliminary data from @umich.edu survey on student AI use for class.

Most rarely/sometimes use AI & always follow class policies, but think others frequently use AI & only sometimes follow policies.

Perceptions of misuse ≠ reality

Misperceptions may provide implicit permission for misuse.
