What a terrible day to be a rational, normal person.

My youngest is a magnet for ticks so helping him understand what to look for is really important. As for the oldest, never had a tick, but he did lend his beautiful voice to this amazing animation 🥰. Such an amazing example of engagement done right

RFK Jr is not a trustworthy source about vaccine efficacy or zoonosis, particularly for H5N1 in chickens. His claim that poultry vaccination will "turn those birds into mutant factories" is incorrect & I've got receipts 👇 h/t Alexander Tin cbsnews.com/news/rfk-jr-va…

I am really saddened by the level of vitriol and hatred being directed toward the trans community. We are losing our common humanity. How hard is it to treat people with kindness and respect? Trans people are human beings — and they deserve to live in dignity.

A new review about Puumalavirus (the hantavirus also prevalent in Austria) just went online.
