For folks asking if I'm going to attend Trump's joint address to Congress next week: no. Instead, I'm choosing to hear directly from Oregonians and will be hosting an open-to-all town hall on Facebook live. Oregonians can submit questions in advance here:

Some of you are new follows, but may have seen this going super viral, a few years ago, yes this was ME! I wrote this to help one of my former students study for their microbiology final. The rest of my science-themed music is on all major streaming platforms. Search for Raven the Science Maven :)

Some actions to oppose Trump’s NIH freezes:

➡️ Contact your electeds and urge them speak up

➡️ Demand your electeds oppose the nominations of RFK as HHS head and Bhattacharya as NIH head

➡️ Sign a group letter opposing the nominations

➡️ Stage a protest outside your lab/work

We need fact-based, grassroots science communication now more than ever!
You won't believe this. My team and I make this show called SciShow that works hard to be rigorous and accurate while also being appealing and entertaining.

We reach a LOT of people every year with episodes about crabs and neutrinos and gender and cancer and vaccines.

It's great, I love it.

Not surprised in the least, but still not sure where we go from here…
Today was as busy a day in public health news as I can remember since the peak of Covid.

Here's a rundown on what happened, all in one place.

Day 3 of the new Trump Administration was an "own goal" against our shared interests.

Thank you @mandy-matney.com for speaking about misinformation on Cup of Justice this week. I really wish popular media had the journalistic integrity that you and your team do!

Us: We should do some things so that we don’t see a repeat of 2020.

Them: YOU WANT LOCKDOWNS!

Us: Literally we are trying to prevent exactly that.

Seems like the signs are there to take some serious steps towards outbreak *prevention.* I’m hoping US leadership took notes and can apply our lessons learned.

Which means, if bird flu infects a person who is also infected with a human flu, there's a a possibility that a new hybrid strain will be created, which could be extremely bad.

One thing I really want is to not be the person that happens inside of. If that's how you feel too, get your flu shot!!!

If no Democrats cross the aisle to vote for RFK, he can he can afford to lose only three Republican votes to be confirmed.

Call your Senators! (Even if you are in a red state)

RFK Jr. as HHS Secretary isn’t just dangerous—it’s reckless. This is someone who’s spent decades undermining public trust in science, amplifying debunked conspiracies, and fueling the wellness industry’s profit machine of fear and misinformation. 🧵/x

I've seen many say "so what if people reject vaccines, refuse to wear a mask, or drink raw milk, it's Darwinism."

Well, the risk of viruses mutating into more deadly forms increases when they are allowed to spread. Individuals ignoring public health practices harms everyone.
