Saddened to hear of the passing of luminary scientist, Gabor Somorjai. With Gabor, @berkeleylab.lbl.gov has led the way in understanding materials through their surfaces, be that structure, dynamics, sorption, and transformations relevant to energy applications. He will be missed.

HHS Sec. RFK Jr. is the “most unqualified, misfit secretary…Ever,” says @irwinredlener.bsky.social.

‘A bunch of cranks’: RFK Jr. stacks CDC Vaccine Advisory panel with anti-vaxxers and conspiracists
Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. gutted the existing CDC Vaccine Advisory panel, replacing existing experts with anti-vaxxers and conspiracists. MSNBC Public Health Analyst Dr. Irwin Redlener says “the actions that they are doing under his direction are undermining, not only essential vaccine information for Americans, but they’re pulling the legs out of the vaccine programs globally.” Pulitzer-Prize winning science journalist Laurie Garrett says this new committee is emblematic of “a government committed to destroying the truth-generating enterprise of science.”
