I gave a public educational seminar on the history of vaccines yesterday sponsored by @gain-indivisible.bsky.social. I encourage all scientists to give public educational seminars a shot. You’ll learn something and you will be surprised (in a good way) by the people you meet.

My son (the wizard), myself, and @repmcgovern.bsky.social at the #Worcester #NoKings rally put on by @gain-indivisible.bsky.social. It was a glorious day to fight the power with my people. Representative McGovern is my guy, 100%. He shows up and he tells it like it is.

Newsweek is reporting the RFK plans an outright ban on mRNA vaccines in the United States within a few months. That's a huge mistake. Please, speak out against those who would derail the most promising technology to curb virus spread since Charles Maitland and cow pox.

I did a thing. I wrote a textbook about #RNA. I wrote it so that those without formal science training could understand what RNA is and how it is used in medicine. It releases in the US and Europe on September 8th. www.worldscientific.com/worldscibook...

Grateful to share a microphone and a stage with one of the very best Congresspersons in the nation, @repmcgovern.bsky.social! This was at the #Worcester #NoKings rally. 2000+ energized attendees at the rally behind city hall. #GAIN

Something positive Saturday. My son got an award at his high school that comes with a 40K /year scholarship to RPI 😮. His friend Annabelle also got an award too, from a different school.

These are the types of "seminars" I find myself giving these days. Telling my story in hopes it helps others to see the truth of what's happening to scientists in the US. I would encourage everyone to speak their truth without fear of reprisal. United we stand.

Looks like HHS/NIH plans on blocking / terminating / clawing back grants from all Universities with DEI programs, and from any who have changed how they do business with Israel. Sickening. Can anyone confirm these leaked documents?

@marymunson4.bsky.social we were just talking about this today ☹️

Six masked agents in street clothes disappearing a Tufts Ph.D. student in broad daylight on the streets of Somerville. There is video footage out there every person should watch.
