What a great evening! Morgan Watkins of LPM and colleagues from UofL, WAVE3, InsideClimate News, and the CJ spoke of how to improve communication with the public about science and the environment.

Morgan, with a smile, makes a gesture while commenting on environmental concerns and media coverage.

If we don’t measure hunger, it must not exist.

Dare Obasanjo @carnage4life.bsky.social · 18d

Every statistic about how bad the economy is getting is going to be buried or cooked by the end of the year.

Quarterly earnings reports shifting to semi-annual earnings will ensure private companies don’t inject reality too often by talking about declining sales, etc.

Exclusive | Trump Administration Cancels Annual Hunger Survey

The government has been measuring food insecurity since the mid-1990s, but now says the report has become “overly politicized.”

F that. The right to protest is an enshrined right. Especially against bigots.

This is altogether terrific news, and highlights the contributions of the NIH to clinical practice. This kind of finding can save lives. It’s easier to launch a vaccination campaign when only one dose is needed. www.statnews.com/2025/04/28/h...

U.S. government researchers present 'phenomenal' new data on HPV vaccines

A new study seems to confirm that a single dose of the vaccine used to prevent HPV infection is just as effective as two — and, therefore, also helps to prevent cancer.

A huge new NIH-funded clinical trial of 20,000 girls has shown that a single dose of HPV vaccine yields the same response as two doses after 4.5 years. This is critical to public health efforts to save lives with this vaccine.

Yes. We still have to battle RFK Jr. to ensure access to HPV vaccine.

Andry José Hernández Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government.

No one has heard from you in 45 days.

As vigil, I’m posting a photo of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.

Holy shit. Video posted by President Bukele’s team on X shows the moments before his press conference with Trump in which Trump tells him: “We want to do homegrown criminals next. You gotta build about five more places.”
