Is it just me or does it look like they’re building the wormhole transport machine from Contact in front of the White House? But nah, that would require believing in science… never mind.

To @societyforepi.bsky.social members: please vote for my friend Meredith Shiels as member at large! She has been a highly valued member of the Awards Committee and would make a fantastic member of the exec committee. Could not endorse more highly to take my place! epiresearch.org/2026-electio...

In an age of creeping relativism, a universal moral law still exists. Threatening to end an entire civilization of 90 million people in order to bend a nation’s conduct to your will is grossly morally wrong. It is evil. And we should say this loudly.

just to be clear, everyone, when 8 pm EDT comes and goes, regardless of what does or does not happen, the president still threatened genocide and war crimes and we should still impeach, arrest, and try him

I haven't bothered to post about what comes out of this mad man's mouth for a while because what's the point--But his threat that a "whole civilization will die tonight" is beyond anything we can ignore or normalize. He must be stopped.

Cat posts seem to get all the engagement on here, so here’s our cat Louie Pickle, who continues to hang his surgically repaired and completely healed “chicken leg” whenever he sits 😂 Vet says there’s no physical reason he has to do that, it’s all in his head.

Today's @nytimes.com dialogue with Ross Douthat & Jay Bhattacharya is tough sledding. I wrote a book on how silent transmission made COVID harder to stop and drove misleading narratives. The interview continues to mislead as a means to seize more power. a 🧵 www.amazon.com/Asymptomatic...

Trust in science was destroyed not by scientists, but by the right and rightwing billionaires. I wrote a rebuttal to Douthat’s bad article on Tue w/out even seeing it. Bhattacharya did this. Putting an arsonist in charge of putting their fire out is insanity. 1/

Want to read the whole interview? Here you go, reader beware: (it's hardly a 'gift', but there you go) 🎁 www.nytimes.com/2026/01/29/o...

Incredibly important points made here about our current reality. It seems so dissonant to go to work and raise our families while people are being murdered by the state in the streets. And that is actually the point. #DualState www.nytimes.com/2026/01/26/o...

Van Hollen: "They really think the American people are stupid. I mean, we can all see the video. We saw the video with Renee Good. We saw the video with Alex Pretti. The real domestic terrorists are in the White House right now."

There is no bottom--not only is this sick, vile, and lacking of any human empathy, but it is a not subtly veiled threat that anyone who opposes him can be murdered (and a green light to his extremist base to carry it out). The only derangement is our president's, and anyone who can condone this

📣 @bryandjames.bsky.social is hiring a postdoc at @rushalzheimers.bsky.social. This work examines predictors and consequences of a timely #dementia diagnosis using CMS claims linked to cohort data. Could be great for an #hpss #statssky #episky #hspr #geronsky PhD student finishing up this year.

Risks and Benefits of Clinical Diagnosis Around the Time of Dementia Onset

Diagnostic delay in dementia is common in the U.S. Drivers of diagnostic delay are poorly understood, but appear related to misconceptions about dementia, stigma, concerns about autonomy, the nature of the diagnostic process, and provider-related ...

The highlight of #GSA2025 was watching my friend and colleague @beyoung40.bsky.social give her speech for the James Jackson Mentorship Award , about her path from being mentored to becoming an exemplary mentor. Dr. Barnes has inspired SO many people. Lisa, you’re the best! @geronsociety.bsky.social

I had a blast participating in the @geronsociety.bsky.social #GSA2025 Epi of Aging IG debate on the “Biggest Baddest Bias in Aging Research” as “The Confounder 😎” I got SMOKED in the final vote (3%!) as @sfackley.bsky.social ran away with it at 85% but still fun! 😆 @mariaglymour.bsky.social

While the government was shut down, 379 NIH study section meetings (containing 24,380 grant applications) were postponed. NIH is committed to getting these reviewed, but please be patient and understanding with staff, as this is a complex and heavy lift.
