A study on 1.7 million people in Hong Kong shows superior hybrid immunity to Covid in people who got vaccinated before infection vs. people who got infected first. "Our findings are a direct rebuttal to arguments for natural immunity," the authors write. doi.org/10.1016/j.va...

I never reported on Quackenbush's lab, but I've reported on someone else modeling the transcriptome. This type of research is incredibly important as we try to deeply understand-and combat-diseases.

We have the tools to prevent sickness. The real denial is ignoring that high quality masks and vaccines reduce infections. This isn’t hard.

‘Remigration’ is a term that comes out of the European far right. Its use by the DHS account is a sign of democratic and epistemic collapse

For those of you who do not listen to political AM radio talk shows, I want to let you know that this has been the discourse there for 30+ years. Specifically, that culture is genetic, immutable, immalleable. That non-white immigrants will kill us all.
It is blatant white supremacist propaganda.

You guys on my TL talking about Venezuela and I, who lives there, can't really talk about it freely.
It sucks because there are many narratives here that don't really take us Venezuelans into account and just paint us as noble savages who have zero agency.

1/ Today the Department of Education said that it’s transferring a variety of programs to other agencies, making good on Trump’s promise to dismantle ED.
The most important thing to understand is that this is a Potemkin reorganization. It’s fugazi, it’s fairy dust. It’s not real.

Things were already bad and we were being asked to turn water into wine. But as (public) univs are having their funds restricted/illegally terminated, these pressures and demands are only going to get worse, especially as univs try to make up for those funding gaps by increasing enrollment 😵💫🥴
AI is enticing because it makes it seem like I might be able to do all the things I’m asked to do. I can’t write 5 articles, revise books, mentor students, write letters of recommendation, teach classes, work in the community, review for my peers, etc. and be a whole person.

100% accurate. The Pittsburgh synagogue shooting will be in retrospect a clear moment when the rise in Islamophobia spilled over into antisemitism.
By the by, I'm not sure you get the slow upswing in blatant antisemitism/groyperism on the right without the broad mainstreaming of blatant Islamophobia during the Bush and Obama eras. The xenophobic image of the Anti-Christian Other was always going to extend to American Jews

thank you for all the support; the statement from our union is now live here with some more reporting.
now that this is public I can confirm that the majority of today’s layoffs were women of color. there are no longer any Black women working at Teen Vogue.
