Why did pages supporting DEI need to be "under review" in the first place? @asm.org is not a government organization. It is not subject to the Executive Orders, which call for the systematic erasure of many ASM members. This is a pathetic, cowardly excuse for voluntarily complying with fascism.

ASM has received questions about content on our site being under review—thank you to those who reached out. "Under review" never meant removal, despite understandable concerns to the contrary. Most modified pages have been or are in the process of being restored. Read our statement: asm.social/2h3

"Political" is banned, which is awkward for all of us in poli-sci. Alternative names for the discipline? Ruling science? StateKraft? (Kraftwerk is obv. taken) Power stuff studies?

🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

Before panic sets it. The New NIH Director and Congress will want research to continue, so the machine will start up at some point. Keep writing papers and preparing proposals. AND educate the public about the key role peer review plays in science and the time and infrastructure investment needed

Me, a public health person, just sitting over here reflecting on the fact that the US has experienced a 7% increase in infant mortality post-Dobbs. Like, do you realize what that says about this society from an ethical perspective? That we made policy choices that caused this? #PHEthx

The Dobbs decision was associated with a 7% absolute increase in overall infant mortality—equivalent to 247 excess deaths—and a 10% increase among infants with congenital anomalies, corresponding to 2...

Et veldig godt eksempel på en helt enkel innsikt som jeg skulle ønske blei sagt på introkurs til medisinsk statistikk, istedenfor f.eks. at man må bruke kjikvadrat på kategoriske data og t-test på kontinuerlige data.

Maarten van Smeden@maartenvsmeden.bsky.social · 2y ago

I personally do not believe in a "spectrum" of effects. Many studies that do not use causal inference techniques but are vague in their ambitions and choose to adjust for "known confounders" are not on the spectrum between unadjusted and true causal effect. They may be further away the causal effect

Hi #HSR2024! We’ve been enjoying hearing discussions on the use of different social media platforms. If Bluesky is where you’ve landed, why not give us a follow?

At #HSR2024 and wondering where to follow and post - as an individual and in your organizational capacity? Is social media becoming a significant determinant of health? We’ve got you covered with the timeliest session 😉 Join Thursday, 11.40am.

“The migration”. Love this story. Thanks @kakape.bsky.social I too have become a X-sleeper.

“The majority has spoken, and researchers are moving en masse” to Bluesky, says @shaine.bsky.social. Couldn't help myself and had to write about science twitter, X, bluesky and "the migration"... www.science.org/content/arti... 🧪

#HSR2024 in Japan has set the standard for visa processing. Timely and predictable processes, waived fees Thanks to JICA & Nagasaki University There has been too many bad conference visa experiences. It is time to say no to hosts that cannot guarantee fair and predictable visa processing

Madhu Pai, MD, PhD@madhupai.bsky.social · 2y ago

It truly boggles my mind that "tropical medicine" conferences continue to be hosted, year after year, in visa-hostile, high income countries I really hope this field wakes up and reflects on who the real experts in tropical diseases are and why they need to lead

Wow, welcome to all my new followers! I suspect like my own journey, many of you have found your way here after leaving that other platform, but either way a big hearty welcome & g’day!

Inspired to have @HelenClarkNZ kicking off first plenary at Health Systems Research Symposium in Nagasaki. She calls out governance failures & challenges HPSR community to do more to address the #climatecrisis. (We so lucky to have her as the chair of the @AllianceHPSR board.)

Good morning from Nagasaki Join us at #HSR2024 on Thursday morning 21st 8 - 9.30AM. Room 101(B). What value does it bring to health policymaking if knowledge from civil society is considered a source of evidence together with research evidence, and what are the risks?

Looks like Bluesky will cross 20 million users some time before I wake up tomorrow morning ET. The platform had 10 million users 2 months ago. It had about 15 million users a week ago. bsky-users.theo.io

I loved this session at #HSR2024 on how health policy and systems research can generate evidence on the establishment, reform and implementation of national public health agencies, ending with a quickfire session between Kumanan Rasanathan and Sarah Bennett

Tomorrow 9-11am in Room 101A: we will be discussing how health policy and systems research can help address the climate crisis with insights from Argentina, Nepal, Palestine and Uganda—please come and join the conversation at the Health Systems Research Symposium in Nagasaki

Delighted to be in Nagasaki, #Japan for the Eighth Health Systems Research Symposium —looking forward to meeting many friends and colleagues here.

Good to see that now i start to first check my Bluesky feed in the morning, before i do so on X. The Nagasaki #HSR2024 symposium will be an interesting test case.
