1/🧵 Our cell’s genes are rewired in MILD COVID 🧬   Stunning data in nature   White Cells (monocytes) switch gene expression from an established innate immune profile to a pro-clotting signature in COVID.   We’re immunocompromised. Let’s unpack this…   go.nature.com/3GeDygW

This is fascinating and definitely a #publichealth issue. Some of the new federal funding coming to every state will be for rebates on things like appliance electrification (induction cooktops, etc.). How can we spread the positive impacts more equitably among folks w/less $?

Disappointing but not surprising. The new building we constructed PWSSC has a lactation room. It’s one feature we incorporated to better support women in science.

We're excited to offer 5 paid summer internships with different host sites across the country. Host sites include Climate Science Alliance, Tó Nizhóní Ání, CAVU, TribalAllianceforPollinators, and the Yukon River Drainage Fisheries Association. #climate #internship #Indigenous

A #publichealth thread worth reading. #MedTwitter

tern Hopefully you can zoom in to my daughter's piece 'Rona Lisa' from her recent exhibition #IAmStillHere with Long Covid Kids / [email protected]. These are all things she and her peers have had said to them by doctors, family, friends, classmates...

#ScienceTwitter Do you know a mid-career professional who wants to become a #DEI leader or expand their DEIA toolkit? AGU (American Geophysical Union) has apps open through March 31 for the next LANDInG Academy cohort of leaders who will promote DEI in #STEM and #STEMeducation. agu.org/AGU-LANDInG/Pa…

My BreatheTeq KN95s sample kit arrived fast; I was grateful that they didn't upcharge for shipping to AK as many do. Husband and I each found a size that works for us. Fit and breathability = impressive. His big head would benefit from slightly larger ear loops. Two thumbs up.

Right now, more people are forcibly on the move than at any other time in human history. This astonishing mass movement of people recently hit what the UN said was "a dramatic milestone." And this is only the beginning 🧵

This translates into 3.5% of people on planet earth on the move, or an incredible 1 in 78. Not since the second world war have so many people been forcibly on the move

To put 100 million into context, that is more than the population of Canada, Australia, Portugal, Sweden and Chile combined

"In terms of sequence and epitope expression, the XBB omicron subvariant is now as distant from wild-type SARS-CoV-2 as SARS-CoV-2 is from SARS-CoV, such that XBB should probably be called SARS-CoV-3." thelancet.com/journals/lanin… 4/

I used these tactics and still tested pos for 11 days. However, my symptoms were less significant than my spouse’s symptoms.

CO2 concentration, in parts per million, while boarding my Alaska Airlines flight today. Any number over 1000 ppm is NOT good. What will airlines do to improve ventilation safety for their passengers while embarking/disembarking? #publichealth #MedTwitter #CovidIsntOver

And it is going up.

If you have preferred nattokinase references (and sources of supply), I would love to know more. Kira Hagen Chris Alvino

NEW: I’m not sure people fully appreciate how dire the US life expectancy / mortality situation has got. My column: enterprise-sharing.ft.com/redeem/75e5e3d… And some utterly damning charts. 1) at *every* point on the income distribution, Americans live shorter lives than the English.
