This is extremely disheartening and unnerving Biden Admin has sat and watched this potential #H5 BirdFlu pandemic unfold from the beginning - Doing essentially zero to stop it Cases likely 10x+ whats detected Each case an opportunity to mutate to a virus that is much worse

CDC has confirmed an H5 bird flu case in a child in California. The patient had mild symptoms, received flu antivirals, and is recovering. The public risk assessment remains low, but people should avoid exposure to sick or dead animals, including wild birds, poultry, cows, and…

Please do not sit this election out and, from a 2000 Nader voter, think about all the implications of your vote. One way or the other, this election will be a story we will tell for years....and I know I'll at least be able to say I did all I could.

Today's update. Pretty good day of state polling for Trump, although the topline numbers are relatively unmoved. Among the more interesting polls is from Nevada, where Harris has basically lost her lead. natesilver.net/p/nate-silver-…

Far-right movements have been using Springfield, Ohio as a propaganda tool since early 2023. There aren’t 20,000 Haitian immigrants there in fact, there are barely 5,000 in the entire state. The level of cognitive dissonance required for this narrative is staggering. /🧵

It has to be noted how rare a statement like this from the Army is. I covered the Army for 4 years and not sure I can recall something similar

NEW: US Army spokesperson says participants in event at Arlington Cemetery "were made aware of federal laws" re: political activity & "abruptly pushed" employee. "This incident was unfortunate ... the ANC employee and her professionalism has been unfairly attacked."

Please stop using Tophat scholar.google.com.mx/scholar?hl=es&… Cole and I developed the method in *2008*. It was greatly improved in TopHat2 then HISAT & HISAT2. There is no reason to use it anymore. I have been saying this for years yet it has more citations this year than last #methodsmatter

I've checked this paper out, as instructed. I was also interested in the main result for personal reasons: I'm 51 years old. Is it true that I've just gone through a major change? And that another one awaits me in just a few years? Some comments on the paper in this thread 1/🧵

Our aging paper just came out. Two periods of major changes: Mid 40s and 60s. Check it out doi.org/10.1038/s43587…
