The CDC’s Youth Risk Behavior Survey has monitored the wellbeing of America’s high school students since 1991.

Since 2015, it’s been a vital source of data on LGBQ youth. In 2023, it provided the first ever nationally representative sample of transgender teens.

As of this morning, it’s gone.

The story of genomics. A tale of advancing healthcare.

The story of genomics. A tale of advancing healthcare.

When we understand the story of #genomics, we can understand diseases better. This means we can diagnose them quicker, treat them more effectively, and even prevent them.

The Sanewashing of RFK Jr. Let’s call a crank a crank.

Kudos to @benmazer.bsky.social for calling a crank a crank--and for calling out Leana Wen and Emily Oster on their shameless and irresponsible RFK Jr. apologist pieces (and indirectly Ashish Jha who lauded Oster's piece).

My institution considers the failed attempts, which I appreciate. The primary NIH institute I submit through dropped their paylines again this year. Funding is tight, and I think recognizing attempts acknowledges that.
