In fairness, this isn’t a surprise in the slightest - neither the actors involved nor that some have alleged links to big tobacco. It’s almost like Farage et al are wilfully ignorant of how intergovernmental entities function. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Dear academic journal editors: I get it. You’re under pressure. But sending a review request at 6.31pm on a Friday evening & then cancelling the review invitation at 3.21am on Monday morning as you have “not received a response” is not reasonable behaviour. Re-evaluate your approach. That is all.

I resigned from the National Science Board in May when meaningful oversight became untenable. I respect colleagues who stayed to serve the NSB's mission. Today's news clarifies that was an erosion of oversight and function has become open elimination of the Board itself. 🧵 time.com/7285045/resi...

Such an awesome evening catching up with admitted students & @fletcherschool.bsky.social alumni in Washington DC this evening! So many interesting folks spanning government, industry, civil society & philanthropy. Looking forward to welcoming the Fall 2027 intake! 🎉

Personally I’m just disappointed that it took Russia so long…. #FletcherSchool standing up for democracy, the UN Charter & international law is designated by Russia as “undesirable”. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Wow. What’s happened to the 🌎 when ordering 4 business shirts and 2 jackets is “flagged” by the company you’re trying to purchase it from, and they send 2 emails 20min apart demanding you call them to verify the order? Ah, no thank you. You can go ahead and cancel the order Charles Tyrwhitt!

Something that *should* concern us all. We don’t often consider how important space tech has become to our everyday lives, but the risk of the Kessler Effect is genuine & real (Google it!). Time for all governments to take action (incl against private actors)! www.abc.net.au/news/2026-03...

Earth's low orbit is becoming cluttered with high-velocity space junk

Thousands of satellites are being launched into space at low Earth orbit, joining hundreds of thousands of pieces of space junk, and it's becoming a real problem.

Seems a refresher is in order: The standard you walk past is the standard you accept. It’s also the standard the next guy (or gal) will use as their benchmark. So if don’t want the opposition to be able to “get away with it” in the future, don’t accept it now. From a fmr political adviser.

Had the *fantastic* opportunity to see a special preview of Project Hail Mary last night at @museumofscience.bsky.social. Pure enjoyment & an inspiring story of friendship! Seeing it on IMAX at the Omni Theatre was an experience that’s hard to forget. Thanks to the Museum of Science for hosting!!

Every child deserves to protected from preventable diseases - it is their right to health

This makes me so very angry. It’s one thing for RFK & his cronies to undermine trust in vaccines for Americans - Americans voted in Trump & his policies. But the lies & misinformation is spreading + it *will* have deadly consequences incl for my home country. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-02...

I’ve lost count of the Americans that’ve asked me “After COVID are we better prepared?”. I tell them the truth “no” but offer hope by pointing to the scientific research underway. Meanwhile Bhattacharya is eviscerating US preparedness. This will come back to haunt www.nature.com/articles/d41...

OK, enough is enough. Here’s my question: is RFK and his ilk that are now advocating to remove vaccine mandates for school age children going to be held to account when the inevitable disease outbreaks and child mortality happens? #vaccineswork The data speaks for itself. From a fmr RN.

It’s easy in the tumult to focus only on the negative, so I’m reposting the link to a recent publication that highlights how international cooperation can succeed. Check out my latest on the Quadripartite and policy coordination related to antimicrobial resistance…
