I'm excited to share my latest study, published in @commsmed.bsky.social, that highlights the substantial & ongoing impacts of #LongCOVID on working-aged Americans. Even after the emergency phase of the pandemic was declared over, long COVID continues to afflict millions of Americans. #COVID

Scientists just ‘supercharged’ vinegar with nanoparticles — and in mice it wiped out 99.995% of MRSA in lab tests. 1 topical dose. 24 hours. No damage to healthy cells.

New Mexico just became the first U.S. state to offer free universal child care

New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham told CBS News it would save families an average of $12,000 a year.

"In 41 states in America, your child care payment is more than your mortgage payment," she said.

1/ Today, ProPublica is running a piece I've been working on for a bit. It's about what happened with a devastating wave of bird flu earlier this year, as egg prices hit record highs.

And it's a story that illuminates the ways the U.S. is failing to control what could become the next pandemic. 🧵

Think about the people in your life who are on SNAP -- babysitters, house cleaners, DoorDashers, massage therapists, home health aides, whatever. (You may not know they're on SNAP, but I guarantee people in your life are.) If you can, please try to give them extra work right now.
