BREAKING: High exposure to lead — especially from leaded gas pollution — in the 1960s and 1970s is linked to memory problems 50 years later, and even low levels of lead exposure may damage the adult brain, according to new studies presented at #AAIC25. bit.ly/3GM3GnD

Lead Pollution Linked to Memory Problems, Study Finds | AAIC

Historic lead levels from the era of leaded gasoline may be contributing to cognitive issues 50 years later, suggests research reported at AAIC 2025.

I talked about social media manipulation—how information is amplified or suppressed, targeted toward individuals through blackbox algorithms that make old style propaganda look like crayon scribbles—during the plenary session of a recent conference and the LOOKS of SHOCK on people’s faces

Chanda Prescod-Weinstein 🌌@chanda.blacksky.app · last yr.

I think we downplay the role of social media algorithms and targeted disinformation campaigns in drawing voters to Trump and away from Democrats at our own risk — it’s frankly a refusal to reckon with reality. Social media has created a matrix-like info control environment.

NEW: We (mostly @noamross.net) launched a website to shine a brighter light on terminated NIH and NSF grants. grant-watch.us It links to our NIH & NSF trackers, grant info submission forms, and other info. We'll also add new analyses soon. Check it out and let us know what else you'd like to see.

The WHI is ending and why you should be concerned and furious. Also, giving RFK Jr, Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, and Dr. Marty Makary the keys to the proverbial castle is akin to putting three rabid raccoons into a Costco; eventually they’ll rip everything apart vajenda.substack.com/p/the-whi-is...

Historic moment for global health. After 3 years of negotiation, nations finally agreed on the first-ever global pandemic treaty, a set of commitments to prevent, prepare for, and respond to future pandemics. Here’s what it means and why it matters 🧵 www.nature.com/articles/d41...

First global pandemic treaty agreed — without the US

The World Health Organization accord promotes sharing scientific data in exchange for more equitable distribution of drugs and vaccines.

Groups across the country have received letters notifying them that their grants from the National Endowment for the Humanities have been canceled, raising alarms about serious harm to museums, historical sites, and a wide range of community projects.

Well, here it is. Trump and Musk are turning #NIH into a garbage rightwing thinktank, just as we said. They’re forcing down junk science on us with your tax dollars. This is a deep shame for America and for scientists everywhere. 1/3

NEW: After cancelling nearly all projects on trans health, the Trump admin has now directed the NIH to study the negative consequences of transitioning. This will create “a distorted research ecosystem where only politically favorable findings are permitted to exist”, researcher Harry Barbee says.
