Not too late to come to STAT's DC event tonight at 6 pm - we'll be talking about barriers to opioid recovery, Biden's budget battle, and more. It will be fun! I'm also excited to talk to folks about the FDA's recent rule on lab-developed tests... statnews.com/event/stat-in-…
A quick update: Academics who went looking for genetic traces of H5N1 in store-bought milk from 10 US states found it in nearly 40% of samples. FDA's own investigation, which aims to be a "large representative national sample," has found evidence of H5N1 in 20% of milk products.
