Great example of why it’s so important for journalists to always ask questions and dig into the details behind how science-related policies and decisions are being made: H5N1 bird flu testing in cows will be more limited than USDA said statnews.com/2024/04/26/h5n…

This group currently at Columbia is being called a “pro-Israel” march. Feucht is with the Bethel, a Christian church hoping for a rise of antisemitism as they think that will bring the end times closer. Three guesses what they think should happen to Jews when that happens.

WATCH: Among those arrested today were Noelle McAfee, Chair of the Philosophy Department at Emory University. I’ve asked for a comment from Emory on this arrest, no word yet. This video provided to us by an #Emory PHD student. You can hear him in this video. @ATLNewsFirst
@amymitchellart @amylaurelwhite @NIHDirector NIH also reached out to the interviewer and had him put "misspoke" there. Also, you're misreading. It's not invalidating viral persistence hypothesis; she misspoke about live virus and symptoms correlation. We need proper studies, not incorrect claims. x.com/jeremyfaust/st…

Who let the cows out? The outbreak of #H5N1 is a live fire test for global preparedness. We’re failing at starting gate due to lack of transparency & collaboration. Need to stop the Pandemic clock. @nytopinion @zeynep nytimes.com/2024/04/24/opi…
“When dangerous novel pathogens emerge among humans, there is only a small window of time in which to stop them before they spiral out of control. Neither our animal farming practices nor our public health tools seem up to the task.” via @zeynep nytimes.com/2024/04/24/opi…
In @nytopinion Having spent weeks talking to U.S. public health authorities about bird flu, @zeynep is “shocked by how little they seem to know about what’s actually going on and how little of what they do know is being shared in a timely manner.” nyti.ms/4ddKzhn

.@zeynep I am asking you alongside @TaylorLorenz as you have both been fight for people with Long Covid and ME to be heard. We are in desperate times for our friend with Severe ME as doctors refuse to treat it as a biological illness. We are imploring anyone who can help. 👆🙏💙
I am so honored by this award!My hope is that, when you see this award, you will remember the many advocates who have fought for justice for decades for those living with #MECFS as well as all who continue the fight. Details for the @meactionga #MillionsMissing event are below.🧵
ANNOUNCEMENT!📣 MEAction Georgia @meactionga is hosting a special #MillionsMissing Event: The Wilhelmina Jenkins ME/CFS Service Awards Join us in celebrating the champions who are making a difference! May 8th, 2024 from 7:00 pm to 8:00pm RSVP: linktr.ee/meactiongeorgia
@zeynep @BogochIsaac Nowhere else does this happen. It's beyond embarrassing. The lack of motivation, the low ambition and near total indifference to being stuck in the 19th century with clownish psychosomatic nonsense built on cheap pseudoscience and logical fallacies.
@PatientPersists @zeynep We would need this done with same metodology for patients who are 6, 12, 24 months or more from their triggering infection and with cohort that is a better representation of LC symptomology.
@zeynep Totally agree. as soon as some of these funders let me I’m planning some follow ups!
@zeynep We can’t really answer that with what we have, it’s all retrospective. Hopefully I can get some more funding to support a prospective study like that!
Apologies if I sound harsh in my comment about H5N1 public genomic data. It is such an important global question and now it is weeks and weeks of mention of widespread cases in mammals in the USA and data not public. Public data is the cornerstone of public health response.
20 years ago today @NEJM published massive SARS1 outbreak and a perspective on airborne transmission. Have we learned our lesson? Will Precautionary Principle & transparent comms guide us next time? H5N1? @linseymarr @kprather88 @zeynep @CorsIAQ @DFisman nejm.org/doi/full/10.10…
@zeynep Well ... at least they know what they may be dealing with? What a mess.
@zeynep No, there was a farmer's market happening along Bway from 113 to 115. Meredith's Bread, one of the stalls. I'll also say, having lunch at Tom's, people were talking about 'the crisis' at every table. Is it some parents' weekend too? Lot of parents there.
@zeynep @RebeccaSolnit @Science_Party We might disagree on the latest protests and how to see them in context of historic protests movements, but I wanna call out that it is great you put work under Creative Commons.
@zeynep @EricTopol @PNASNews @ThaisLaerkholmJ @CEBI_UCPH I don’t think that’s right. It’s an 0.12 percentage-point increase in the infection rate. If the baseline infection rate is 1% and you add on 0.12 pp to that, it would be a 12% increase.
#Measles: The accumulation of cases in the US has slowed, with only +4 in the past week. YTD total is 125, from 18 states. There was only 1 new case in the past week in the Chicago outbreak so hopefully that's winding down. 54% of the US cases this year have been hospitalized.
@bhanlon15 @zeynep you may find this interesting
A packed day for the advisory group on Responsible Use of the Life Sciences and #DualUse Research @WHO HQ today, with updates on #biosafety #biosecurity #BioRiskManagement activities from TAG-B, HSI-TAG, STAG-IH, smallpox secretariat, as well as regional and country offices
@zeynep @GYamey @AtomsksSanakan @ban_epp_gofroc @MartinWBastard @ggronvall Just to bow out here, this is not my area! I do not claim to hold knowledge or the ability to adjudicate. I’ve seen a lot of folks who advocate for pursing the answer in order to inform research policy, and I think that’s great!
