New from me @TheAtlantic: Why is your veterinary bill for your dog or cat so high? You can thank corporate and private equity ownership of once independent vet practices. theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…
Pasteurization has a centuries-long track record of inactivating pathogens. In the modern era, it’s made our milk supply safer than at any point in history. Fantastic thread compiling the lengthy body of evidence supporting that pasteurization inactivates H5N1 👇🏻
During the Cold War, the USSR fed the US bogus claims about paranormal weapons, which the US immediately laughed off. Ha no the US spent millions of $$ and decades of effort on psychic spy work that culminated in Havana Syndrome panic scientificamerican.com/article/soviet… @keithkloor @sciam
Update. I reached out and NIH director Dr. Monica Bertagnolli has corrected this error. She says she "misspoke" and had “meant to say ‘viral components’ rather than ‘live virus.’” The NIH also confirmed to me such remnants have not yet been shown to correlate with symptoms.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer promised two years ago to hold a vote on a bill to ensure people with all types of insurance have access to $35/month insulin. He hasn't done it. I dug into the counterintuitive dynamics that have led to a stalemate statnews.com/2024/04/16/chu…

Stepped out of my usual beat to interview @benjedwards and @JoseZagal about their upcoming book on Nintendo's black sheep, the Virtual Boy. Lots of great insights about the video game industry in the 1990s and why the Virtual Boy isn't just a gimmick. gizmodo.com/the-nintendo-v…

@EdCara4 I anecdotally know a bunch of people who've caught it over the past three weeks here in Raleigh, but that would make sense given the trajectory of the waves over the past three years
@EdCara4 If anything, I would think being victimized by the system would lead you to think it’s *more* plausible that an official institution is treating you badly or strangely?
I can tell you if one has no scruples and some creativity, you can scam just about anyone
Seeing a lot of discourse about people of color/those in poverty are less likely to fall for scams, in part to government mistrust. And that really doesn't strike me as true at all!
@EdCara4 @julia_doubleday Thank you for selecting diagrams, I usually link directly to the papers but this is succinct and clear.
@EdCara4 This makes a lot of sense. Thanks for spelling it out like this, I appreciate it
@EdCara4 It’s really not a joke and people really aren’t getting the memo
The WH had expressed “concerns” over Gaza civilian deaths being “too high” Oct 11, Oct 15, Oct 29, Oct 31, Nov 3, Nov 10, Nov 29, Dec 7, Dec 11, Dec 12, Dec 18, Dec 23, Dec 31, Jan 7, Jan 9, Jan 11, Jan 19, Jan 26, Feb 4 and Feb 7 but has made zero material policy changes at all.
Nearly two million people have been displaced from their homes in Gaza. Hundreds of thousands are experiencing acute hunger. And the daily toll that Israel’s military operations take on innocent civilians remains too high. We must address the ongoing suffering. — @SecBlinken

My heart breaks for the wonderful people at The Messenger, especially my former Science and Technology team, who are some of the hardest working and kindest folks in the business. 💔 They don’t deserve this.
🚨 @TheMessenger is shutting down after running out of cash — It's a spectacular flameout for a high-profile media startup that blew through $50 million in less than a year — CEO was scrambling to raise cash to keep it afloat but missed deadline axios.com/2024/01/31/mes…
@EdCara4 agh, I didn’t realize you’d talked to her/reported on this! so, so wild
Some personal news. Very excited to get to work on this! And if you have stories or insights that might be relevant, please get in touch.
@EdCara4 @allisongeroi Still, my point is if there’s any missing context for the general public it’s that covid still may represent a risk worth avoiding for themselves or at least for loved ones who are chronically ill or vulnerable.
@EdCara4 I wouldn't expect teens who'd been through the trauma of severe obestiy, and the trauma of surgery, and then issues reconciling all that, to look much like the general population for a good long time.
