Getting a lot of this. Individuals demanding that their tax $$ should benefit them. Let’s see how higher education does this: it literally trains all scientists and engineers who work in every sector of society to bring you the “fruits” of modern technology. It gives you all /1

Public health and business are inextricably linked, but partnerships between the two sectors remain rare. Our latest Getting Practical column in @JPHMPDirect explores how to start and maintain these multi-sector collaborations. journals.lww.com/jphmp/fulltext…

The rules are extremely strict because the risk of rejection is extremely high. This is not a new policy. You can’t get a heart transplant without your vaccination because the patient will need to be on anti-rejection drugs for the rest of their life that make them

Asinine & misleading as expected. I checked projects for my univ: this is excellent science. Proposals note potential societal benefits (as required!) but aren't 'woke'. Cruz knows this and doesn't care. We will all lose if this science is chopped. commerce.senate.gov/2025/2/cruz-le…

Epidemic intelligence service officers are the cream of the cream. They're top doctors, veterinarians, and other health professionals. They sign up for a two-year training program to serve the country. Not only is terminating them bad for the country, it's also a disgraceful
