And, in a globalized society, all of this matters for American public health and national security.

I ran @USAID health programs for the last 3 years. Trump’s 90 day Stop Work Order on foreign assistance does serious damage to the world and the US. Examples:🧵

A PhD student used both Claude and Gemini as an AI therapist. She vented her frustrations around getting a cancer diagnosis, and joked about how much it was costing the healthcare system. The difference in responses is staggering.

I debated whether to share this. I did apologize on the air. But I invite you to read my introspection on @BulletinAtomic of how extreme weather 📈 driven by global warming has changed me. Frankly, YOU should be shaken too, and demand #ClimateActionNow. thebulletin.org/2024/09/hurric…

One of my favorite among the calls to action in the new USAID #digitalhealth Position Paper focuses on centering the design of digital systems--especially those used at the point of service delivery--to meet the needs of the people and health workers involved in care exchange.

Climate experts were increasingly saying that keeping heating below 1.5C is near impossible, yet it remains the global goal. So I asked hundreds of top IPCC scientists what they thought. What they said shocked even me… 🧵 1/n #ClimateCrisis

October 2023's atmospheric moisture (we call it precipitable water) was ~10% above the 1980s levels. That is a lot of excess moisture. Warmer air holds more moisture and dumps more rain overall. The relationship is straight forward, ~8% increase per 2 degree F warming.

Carl Sagan’s incredibly eloquent 4 min speech to Congress in 1985 about precisely how CO2 and other greenhouse gases caused by humans lead to #climatechange. Worth your time to watch and listen. #ClimateActionNow

The ocean is becoming more acidic, and the consequences can be catastrophic. Loss of biodiversity is a likely result, accompanied by a reduction of harvestable resources. The only way to stop ocean acidification is to drastically reduce CO₂ emissions.

Gangstagrass held a workshop on depolarizing American music that explained how the music industry artificially separated “hillbilly” music from “race” music for marketing purposes. Our two-party political system works in much the same way, says @fstockman. nyti.ms/3OqI6os

I recently spent two days with Gangstagrass, a band that is making music that creates social cohesion, not division.

The number one threat to wild birds is not feral cats. It’s not windows, windmills, or oil spills. Those are all serious issues, but the biggest killer of birds is indirect starvation by insecticide. phys.org/news/2023-05-p…
