It's so fun to be here. Health policy, global health, pandemics -- and a bit of sports.
I couldn't read this without posting about my marvellously talented niece, Becky Goodman, and her show "1 Pill. 2 Pill. Red Pill, Blue Pill" a musical parody of The Matrix at the Fringe Festival.

Open call to the neuroscience community on here. If this finding is accurate, how the hell does it happen?
The historical irony that Austria and Algeria would both go through if they draw is off the charts. Gijon revisited?
Delighted to have been proven wonderfully wrong so far by kilted piping Scots, orange-clad dancing Dutch, rowing Norwegians and more...plus the graciousness of so many hosts in all three countries. Maybe even Gianni and Trump can't kill the WC spirit after all. Long may it continue.
David Bowen@davidcbowen.bsky.social · 2mo agoI think we'll have two World Cups: one in Canada and Mexico that's happy, expansive and inclusive, like this video. And the other one in the US that is oppressive, dark and muted.
Fantastic work. Should be really influential in policy discussions.
Miranda Yaver@mirandayaver.bsky.social · 2mo agoHad a great time at my book panel at @healthjournalism.org, discussing my findings from Coverage Denied with @usha.bsky.social and a great audience.

I wonder when the news will emerge that there was a small group of shadowy traders who bought relevant stocks heavily, or sold oil short, right before the announcement of the two week pause in fighting.
Inspired me to look up the story. Amazing story of discovery, sexism, theft of intellectual property and potentially worse.
LAFAYETTE@lastudiolafayette.bsky.social · 4mo agoAlice Augusta Ball (1892–1916) was a pioneering African American chemist who, at 23, developed the first effective, injectable treatment for leprosy (Hansen’s disease) in 1915 while at the University of Hawaiʻi. Her method, which made chaulmoogra oil soluble and injectable,
Miami's gonna be Mardi Gras, New Year's Eve and Spring Break rolled into one tonight.
We've never been as close to repeating this national shame as we are today. And I fear for tomorrow. Remembering is crucial.
Rep. Judy Chu@chu.house.gov · 6mo agoOn February 19, 1942, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed E.O. 9066, authorizing the forced relocation & incarceration of more than 125,000 Japanese Americans, solely because of their heritage.
This GOOD BOY ran onto the course during the Women’s Cross-Country Skiing Team Sprint event, crossing the finish line and being automatically recorded by OMEGA’s photofinish camera 😆
Nothing says “I’m prepared to defend my position” than posting nonsense like this and turning off replies.
Can we retire the word “detained” to describe people held behind bars by ICE. “Detained” is when you couldn’t get somewhere on time because your train was late. These kids held by ICE are imprisoned.
So true. Because every 5 year old is going to react to seeing their friends being disappeared by saying, “But he violated Section 42.394(c) of the Code of Federal Regulations, so I guess it’s ok that I can’t play tag with Liam any more.”
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 6mo agoGonzales on Liam Ramos and his family: "They're not gonna qualify for asylum. So what do you do with all the people that go through the process and do not qualify for asylum? You deport them. I understand that 5-year-old and it breaks my heart. I also think, what about that 5-year-old US citizen?"
The Macclesfield win had everything. Massive underdog? Check. Obscure nickname? Check. Goalscorer with bandaged head? Check. Field so small the goals weren't even flat? Check. Fresh faced local kids running onto field to celebrate? Check. Just fantastic. #FACup
#lufc If going into December, anyone had offered 10 pts from Chelsea, Liverpool x2, Palace, Brentford and S'land, you'd have taken it in a second.
Politicians on this side of the Atlantic, take notes…

LBJ: bleeding heart liberal and complete ruthless bastard on tactics for getting legislation done. Winning combination.
Guardrails of Democracy@demguardrails.bsky.social · 8mo agoIt’s 2025 and children of color are still having the same experience. Even worse, they have to fear being picked up and separated from their parents.
I’m glad that I still retain my ability to be appalled.
Ben Phillips@benphillips76.bsky.social · 9mo agoThe UN just held a vote on ending torture, in which three countries voted against ending torture. 🔍 Zoom in…
