When I was a teenager there was a bus direct from my hometown in Germany to London - we had a British army base, and this direct bus connection was one of the benefits of that. One summer I went on that bus to go volunteer in an old people's home in Southend-on-Sea. I had just turned 18 and was... 🧵

Kennedy has been very busy- I reflect on what has been happening but also worry that his tactics could be adopted elsewhere result in in wider undermining of trust in science and reducing vaccine access and uptake 🧪

IMPORTANT 🧵

We've been seeing how RFK Jr & anti-vax lobby has been steadily and effectively reducing access to vaccines in the US.

But it could happen in UK too.

It's a threat worth considering given Malhotra's speech at Reform conf & big overlap between anti-vax and RW populsim.

Read on!

ACOG reaffirms that acetaminophen is safe for managing pain and fever during pregnancy. No reputable studies support suggestions like those in HHS’s recent announcement linking acetaminophen use in pregnancy to autism; in fact, high-quality studies show no such risk. https://bit.ly/47Wxc59

I've officially left the US and am now in the UK.

Very excited for the new adventure ahead.

Very lucky to be in Wales.

Look forward to meeting everyone in the entomology world I can out here.
A sunny view of terraced housing on a hillside in Swansea, Wales. In the foreground sits a white pavilion that reads Swansea Cricket & Football Club, with the crest on the front, and a blue sign below that reads Trade Centre Wales. A faded rooftop banner says Morgan La Roche. Behind the pavilion rise rows of three storey Victorian terraces. Many fronts are painted in strong blues beside grey stone. Bay windows and sash windows repeat along the street. Roofs are slate or tile with chimney stacks and small dormers, and several roofs carry solar panels. A leafy tree fills the lower left corner. The sky is bright with thin, wispy cloud, giving a calm summer feel.

That's so lovely 😄 My son won a massive Tigger in a painting competition when he was 2 years old (!). We still have it squashed into a high shelf of a cupboard and I'm not allowed to throw it out. Thankfully I've never had to fly with it!

Of all the stupid things that this regime has done, this is right up near the top. Postdoctoral researchers come to the US on H-1B visas. This will further destroy the US science enterprise. Stupid stupid stupid.
