🇧🇷 Recorded July 1970, and produced by Sérgio Mendes (RIP), this is surely one of the greatest orchestral MPB albums ever recorded The musicians on this, wow: Hermeto Pascoal, Airto Moreira, Claudio Slon (Mendes’s Brasil ‘66 rhythm section) “Ponteio” is such a HUGE club tune!

New national NBC News poll: A double-digit rise in popularity and an early edge in better representing 'change' have vaulted Harris forward to a 5pt lead over Trump, 49% to 44%. This is our first poll since mid-July, when Trump led Biden by 2pts, 45% to 43%

Why is he treated like a normal Presidential candidate?

📽️ My one minute video take of why funders should invest in global health R&D (yes, I do gesticulate rather a lot, thanks for saying!)

Might be my favorite Roots track, with the great Cassandra Wilson The whole album is 🔥 youtu.be/aBJxikzu3eg?si…

Am out here on this sweltering Sunday knocking on doors for Kamala Harris and Josh Stein, because Trump and his close ally Mark Robinson scare the living daylights out of me

I would love to take a sabbatical and write a book on the clothes worn in this era by jazz artists and the meanings of what they wore

Yes, it really could. And, as with Obama in 2008, Durham could play a decisive role. We’re fired up for Harris here in the Bull City! Our mayor, Leonardo Williams, was a speaker on the final night of the DNC!

He visited our Durham office last week👏

There are advantages to having both shots together—the convenience & also evidence that “concurrent administration of these vaccines may yield higher and more durable SARS-CoV-2 antibody responses” (ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…)—but I am definitely a bit achey today!

If Trump wins, RFK Jr—one of the most extreme of all the extreme anti-vaxx activists, who peddles grotesque homophobia & antisemitic & racist tropes—gets to pick who leads the CDC, FDA, & NIH Vote early, donate, phone bank, knock on doors newsnationnow.com/politics/2024-…

Stay focused. Breathe. Donate. Phone bank. Knock on doors. Rinse. Repeat. Take nothing for granted. Too much at a stake, nationally & globally, to let Trump have the keys to the White House.

Mark Robinson is done, & hopefully he takes other GOP candidates down with him here in NC 🤞🤞🤞

Yes, very true And I have less than zero respect for the folks who have been guest speakers at rallies in support of RFK Jr (folks like Del Bigtree & Jay Bhattacharya) Imagine rallying for an extreme anti-vaxx activist who pushes ableism, antisemitism, racism, & homophobia 👀

Am so, so, so happy for Mark Robinson—he is getting every single thing that he deserved May he bring down all the other GOP candidates with him here in NC!

One of the best science communicators out there 👇👇👇👇

This is a genuinely amazing study, for a whole host of reasons—both scientific & ethical It was a “human challenge” study, ie, the researchers deliberately infected 34 people & then tested whether infection caused cognitive changes (it did) The study did receive IRB approval
