I attended a talk by a scientist at a Chinese University and realized that all the background climate data that she used came from the US (CO₂ Keeling Curve, global temperature time series, etc.). Although China funds a lot of research, the destruction of US science will affect science globally.

Planning a project with a new medical student. They told me that they could work over the holidays if I needed them to.

I told them absolutely not. They are entitled to a rest and I would not be overstepping boundaries.

👏 Congrats to Ghana, Kenya & Tanzania! Their progress shows what’s possible when communities trust public health.

Meanwhile, the U.S. risks losing its measles elimination status as anti-science misinformation erodes trust. We should learn from these successes: evidence works when trust is strong.

I'm reminded of how handy the usethis::browse_*() functions are and thought I'd remind people they exist. Choose from a menu of links or go straight to CRAN or GitHub. #rstats
