This is so spot on I just had to share. People who cheer the dismantling of DEI initiatives fail to see that promoting equity and inclusion benefits them too. They are too blinded by wanting to erase groups of people that they dislike.

Here is how I ended up structuring my ethics of public health syllabus. We’re doing two full weeks on vaccine ethics and then another week on pandemics. Very grateful to the librarians who were able to get us digital access to The Oxford Handbook of Public Health Ethics. @profgoldberg.bsky.social

Some honest thoughts - a lot of focus on UCLA students rightfully so, but for many students thinking across the UCs and CSUs that are away from home.

I often saw that egg prices were the marker of inflation… which ignored the on-going impacts of H5N1. Same time, lawsuits revealed past practices of companies conspiring to fix the price of eggs.
Think the #H5N1 outbreak doesn’t impact you? Think again. 🥚 Egg prices are rising, and shortages are here.

A somber note, I talked to a station agent about the increases in train-strikes for Capitol Corridor.
They said, around this time of year, we starting seeing more 🥲 the other week that I really remember was this year’s heat wave when both Amtrak and BART had 2 train strikes, respectively.
