This is just some petty and cruel shit. I was very proud to serve alongside Rachel Levine. She has more leadership, integrity, and expertise in her little finger than the entire RFK HHS crew does all together. www.npr.org/sections/sho...

With Lenacapavir or LEN, a new drug WHO recommends to protect people at risk of #HIV instead of taking daily pills, people can now get injections every 6 months.
At the time where funding for HIV is limited, this new drug could mean fewer new infections & more lives saved.

Hey folks, as news of Watson's demise spreads, please don't set aside his weighty legacy of misogyny and racism. He was truly among the worst of us. www.vox.com/2019/1/15/18...
DNA scientist James Watson has a remarkably long history of sexist, racist public comments
“People say it would be terrible if we made all girls pretty,” he said in 2003. “I think it would be great.”
