Our goal is to find better treatments and ultimately a cure for this serious and sometimes deadly infection.

Rep. Rosa DeLauro: "On the food stamp issue, the money is there! Let them not get away with saying they can't do it. Their political will isn't there to feed the people who rely on the SNAP program which is the most effective anti-hunger program in the USA."

Disappointed by the bias in this headline in the New York Times - both parties blocked federal worker pay and the GOP actually blocked more federal workers from being paid.

Pregnant women can't access the #COVID vaccine. If they get #COVID and develop a fever, they can't take Tylenol? 🫠.
Both COVID infection and untreated maternal fever increase the risk of bad outcomes for both fetus and mother ranging from preterm delivery to death.
None of this is pro-life.

I am begging all news reporters who cover the "tylenol and vaccines cause autism" press conference PLEASE lead your reporting and headlines with facts and caveat that these assertions were not backed by any scientific evidence but rather the whims and feelings on unqualified non-scientists

I'm thrilled to join the #OHSU ID faculty in early 2026, where I will continue my work to find a cure for the fungus #Coccidioides, which causes Valley Fever. Thanks to #UCSF for a wonderful 15 years of medicine & science. Excited for this new chapter ahead! Recruiting for the Homer Lab soon!

As a first-year oncology fellow at Memorial Sloan Kettering in New York City I had the privilege of rotating through all of the clinics. Lung, beast, ovarian, leukemia, lymphoma. 1/7

@nphstuff.bsky.social finished Box 2 and enjoyed all the very slick puzzles!

Saw some cool parallels with the Lost Cabinet 😁

Extremely saddened to see the Supreme Court decision today denying equal protection to transgender children and, at the same time, the end of the LGBTQIA suicide hotline. πŸ˜₯ Everyone deserves medical treatment!

Mother to child transmission of HIV is completely preventable with antiretroviral drugs. We cannot go back to the 80s and 90s of the HIV epidemic.

This is gotta be intentional. But it’s also just weird! How many NYT readers were at protests? What % of subscribers? A substantial %!

How can it not be seen as newsworthy, especially given the readership?

This is not hard. Every Republican member of Congress should join Democrats in condemning this administration’s vicious arrest of Sen Padilla. β€œA Republic if you can keep it” is now.

Senator Padilla was forcibly removed from DHS Secretary Kristi Noem’s press conference in Los Angeles while attempting to ask a question.

Padilla was thrown down and handcuffed. A senator in his own state! (He has since been released.)

The Trump regime is out of control.

My message to Trump’s NIH Director? No one in America wants us to do LESS cancer research.

No one is asking Trump to make it harder to cure Alzheimer's disease.

Yet Trump is cutting all of this NOW and demanding an $18 BILLION cut to NIH next year. Not on my watch.

LA occupation is costing us over $130 million. Now expanding to more cities.

Military vanity parade costs us $45 million and counting.

Trump golfing costs us $4 million each.

STFU about being fiscally responsible, GOP!
