Great article from Ewen Callaway about how #SARSCoV2 has helped us better understand viruses - including the areas where we still have much to learn. “This was one of the first times where evolutionary biology became an applied science” says Bloom Lab nature.com/articles/d4158…

One of the things that has been crucial in making America a global leader in technology and innovation is education and research. Cutting these is cutting the future of the US short. And it's an insult to every American, & future Americans, who deserve better.

This is a disgrace to every American and a bullet to the heart of the culture of research, science, and innovation that has made the US a world-leader in disease, treatment, and prevention. Journalists: now is the time publicize your Signal handles (again).

Hard to make sense of a lot of the cuts that are happening at #HHS & its agencies. But closing #CDC's STD laboratory at a time when #gonorrhea seems poised to develop resistance to the last reliable drug that can cure it has experts aghast and worried. statnews.com/2025/04/05/cdc…

It's beyond ridiculous that one of TWO BSL4 (highest security) labs in the USA & World Reference Centre for Emerging Viruses and Arboviruses has had funding cut by Trump & DOGE because it had a COVID component. We are actively throwing valuable & critical science in the trash.

It's hard to come up with new ways to say that the latest thing is harmful and horrifying. But *this* cannot be understated in its intent to silence and terrorise. Coming to the US now means losing basic rights of expression. npr.org/2025/04/09/g-s…

As far as I'm concerned, the only legal definition of a woman should be: When Shania Twain says, "let's go girls", do you go? If so, girl.
