Friends, I am helping out a great kid who is studying medicine abroad in China. I need to send some winter clothes and workout gear - what’s the best online store to use? #MedSky #MedStudent #StudyAbroad #China

Help me, BlueSky peeps! I NEED YOUR IDEAS! I’m giving a talk to high schoolers on the past, present & future of U.S. & global public health, and I want to end with HOPEFUL points. What are some positive/hopeful things going on or coming in public health right now?

Working on a cool paper independently is fun but it keeps getting behind the other stuff. Plans this week include catching back up with all potential help like @profgoldberg.bsky.social! Love that I get to connect and stay connected with such cool scholars on here.

Ah, Finter season is here. Supposed to be fall but thinks it is winter. Finter. I don’t have to call 262-SNOW in the mornings to see if school is cancelled or on delay and I don’t have wind that can pick me up and bodyslam me. #Boone

the original pancake house should label this a family meal. no one should eat this in one or even four sittings no matter how good it is. it takes 30 min to bake! #ApplePancake

Get your flu shot! 💉

💪It may not prevent you from getting the flu but it will lessen the severity of the disease.

Several pharmacies and grocery stores will give you coupons and discounts for shopping - how this poster bought some of my Halloween candy stash last month! 🍭
Flu is coming soon. That epi curve looks a bit ominous. #IDSky

Good explainer article & public health message 👇

Black American soldiers literally dug these WWII graves. Traumatic. To acknowledge that fact at a cemetery they helped construct is something the Heritage Foundation cannot accept. As Veterans Day approaches, never forget that this country both compels and disrespects Black military service. Always.
1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

I got the #Mattel Brick Shop Hot Wheels Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Building Set, opened it, counted the bags and realized I don’t really want to put it together. It is 1:12 scale. Paid $129. Anybody in #Baltimore want to get for $100? Nothing opened except box. #HotWheels #BrickShop

@florencebockting.bsky.social thanks for the follow! Glad to see others who work on methods and who love knowledge transfer

I am pretty upset that Amazon shut down games division (second time i got fucked by them), but did not sell New World to a different studio so the game is shutting down. I just really got into it in the last month and love the story and open world. I bought premium pass yesterday morning.

glad to see the jonas salk and his polio vax posts today but the race with sabin to be first involved some fucked up efficacy testing on black people, orphans, disabled people, etc. David Oshinsky's Polio: An American Story is a must read. vax changed the world but i wonder how it'd get done today.

trivial, but does anyone know how to deal with spotify playing versions of songs that you love but are clearly ai generated and added the real artist’s name as if they did this “cover”? there has to be a mobile solution

“Experts also warn that when coverage falls below 90%, the risk of outbreaks rises sharply. Children who are immunocompromised or too young to be vaccinated rely on community immunity, they say.

Today, about 63% of counties meet that minimum threshold, compared to 84% before the pandemic.”
New vaccination maps reveal outbreak risks. Is your county protected?
New data shows widespread erosion in vaccination coverage in over 75% of U.S. counties, leaving many without immunity from outbreaks.
