I welcome skepticism and all the questions. Another concern I hear a lot lately: "It's not the antigens, it's the aluminum adjuvant that worries me." Fair ask. Let's walk through the 2025 US schedule and see exactly which newer shots use alum (based on FDA labels). 🧵

I've been hearing a lot about this common concern: "Are kids getting too many vaccines?" It's a fair question. I'm a parent too. And as an infectious diseases physician who directs an antibiotic stewardship program, a big part of my job is stopping unnecessary medications. I'm…

Are you US PhD student who lost your offer this year? Or a postdoc looking for a position?

Budget sliced--guess @DOGE doesn't get ROI. "government-supported research from the NSF and other agencies has had a return on investment of 150% to 300% over the past 75 years, meaning US taxpayers have gotten back between $1.50 and $3 for every dollar" theguardian.com/us-news/2025/j…

Tonight, Bill C-5 — the bill that allows the government to fast-track major projects it deems are in the “national interest” — became law. No new amendments were added. That is really, really bad:

On June 17 while on duty as a crossing guard at St. James & Colborne Streets in Old North, Michael-Ann was struck by a vehicle hit by a truck that went onto the sidewalk where she was sitting. To help w expenses as she recovers, please consider donating to gofund.me/38d012c8

PhD candidate @Riya_Sidhu gets the credit for this study showing that nostalgia pushes our dance buttons in a special way. "Nostalgic Tunes Trigger Stronger Urge to Dance Than Familiar Hits" neurosciencenews.com/nostalgia-musi… via @neurosciencenew

False. Bill 5 permits the cabinet to override any statute it likes, including labour protection statues. Overriding human rights and labour relations could violate Charter, bit Charter wouldn’t stop govt from circumventing employment standards legislation.

If you are a scientist looking or needing to leave the US and have some experience/interest with NHP electrophysiology, get in touch.

Scoop from @GBH: Harvard — in a historic move — has revoked HBS professor Francesca Gino's tenure. Gino was investigated for research misconduct after data sleuths alleged that data in at least four of her studies had been manipulated. wgbh.org/news/education…

Thursday’s provincial budget will include the removal of the bike lanes on Queen’s Park Crescent. Tearing up bike lanes in Toronto is an absurd waste of public money. Ford’s own documents say it won’t reduce congestion. At a time when U.S. tariffs threaten jobs and the housing…

Days before masked Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents detained Tufts University student Rumeysa Ozturk to deport her, the State Department determined that the Trump administration had not produced any evidence showing that she engaged in antisemitic activities or made…

Trump's EPA just moved to reverse state and local bans on toxic "forever chemicals" that can lead to birth defects and cancer.  So much for "Make America Healthy Again." theguardian.com/environment/20…

Canada is one bad election away from every bad political thing that is happening in America. #NeverPoilievre

The corporate takeover of American politics was rapid and ruthless. In the 1970s, I watched as thousands of corporate lobbyists descended on Washington. Fast forward to today, and lobbying has become a multi-billion dollar industry. It all began with the Powell Memo.
