Great article by @drjudystone.bsky.social about the impact cuts to government agencies are having on global health.
It was also noted that some international scientists refused to attend this conference because of ICE and racial profiling.

No, he can't. At least he can't lead it competently. And WTF is this fawning headline? This man's policies have already started demolishing public health and vaccine infrastructure in the US and will likely lead to many unnecessary deaths.
Over many interviews, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told Michael Scherer about how he plans to remake America’s public-health system. Can he lead the scientific establishment he’s spent much of his life crusading against?
