Science literacy is collapsing. And with it, the foundations of civilization. People fear vaccines more than viruses. So diseases we once defeated are coming back. They fear GMOs more than hunger. So we reject tools that could feed millions. They fear nuclear more than climate…

The best one I’ve seen 😂😂 💚🦅🔥
The past 97 years of 285 @Penn - originally an Academy at Fourth and Arch Streets, then moving to 9th and Market in 1829, then to West Philadelphia in 1872

When gifted narrative filmmaker Marwin Gansauge asks, "Can I make a movie about you?", what do you say? In these times we live in, more science communication is desperately needed to convey the importance of research to the development of new treatments for patients. Marwin…
Remember that time you got diphtheria? No? How about smallpox? Also no? Ah yes..VACCINES
As 'the most infectious virus' roars back to life, the first measles treatment remains a pipe dream. Meanwhile vulnerable babies and immunosuppressed people fall victim to a preventable disease fiercebiotech.com/research/you-j…

A soft FDA, more state laws permitting and even welcoming non-FDA-approved cells and other biologics, and a country already so full of stem cell clinics seeking more profits, could give us a perfect storm leading to hundreds of new cases of patients harmed by unproven biologics.

26 letters no longer cutting it for drug names. Need to incorporate the ! click as in some South African languages . . .
INN Proposed List 133 is out! Here are the International Nonproprietary Names (INN) for ADCs, along with their targets, payloads, and development codes. These new names just keep getting easier and easier 😅 Can’t wait to casually drop lixarkitug samrotecan into conversation!
Many quite influential figures profit/advantage by spreading vaccine misinformation. Yet most Americans don’t realize how this aligns with long-term efforts by China & Russia to destabilize the U.S. Don’t do our enemies work. Be critical, not complicit.👇🏽 x.com/i/grok/share/a…
Continued progress being made. This is in no small part to the tireless advocacy efforts happening behind the scenes.

With 20% of staff gone in April 2025 RIFs + ~700 February probationary cuts, loss of expertise, low morale, politicization, is FDA already heading to a breaking point? IMHO, Congressional oversight urgently needed @pknoepfler #FDA ipscell.com/2025/07/is-mak…

As a longtime public health reporter covering the rise of anti-vaccine groups, I have seen them use personal stories to raise doubts about vaccines. Today I saw immunization advocates push back by highlighting the stories of the toll of vaccine-preventable illness. A thread:

Checking all the boxes 1) "Post hoc candor" - belated pretend honesty 2) "Credibility Backfill" - The strategic rebranding of a disclosure as principled openness. 3) "Optics-Driven Disclosure" – When release of information is spun as intentional transparency after the fact. 4)…
