Earlier this week I testified at a Senate hearing on how we respond to domestic health security threats. We must be agile and dynamic in our operational and policy posture -- and quick to engage with state & local partners. Honored to lead this new office: hstoday.us/federal-pages/…

Happy Diwali y'all! It's our puppy's first Diwali—caught between Halloween candy and lit diyas, he had the time of his life. Today, take a moment to find joy—whether it’s in your tail-wagging dog, the cosmos that light up our universe, or in the promise of the day - just take a…
Wishing you a joyful #Diwali! Just as the cosmos lights up our universe with endless wonder, Diwali illuminates our homes and hearts. In this image, @NASAHubble captures a hotbed of star formation within M17, aka the Omega Nebula: go.nasa.gov/3Yso6qu
Antisemitism often signals a broader breakdown of core societal values - its presence highlights the deep divisions our nation (and the world) continues to face. We must build a better world for our children.
Today, Lori and I are thinking of the Tree of Life community as we continue to mourn the 11 Jewish Pennsylvanians who were murdered in the deadliest act of antisemitism in our nation's history, on this day six years ago. When I took the oath of office in January 2023, I swore my…
Had a great time keynoting the #epiENGAGE meeting in Austin! Advanced analytics and scaled forecasting tools are needed to tackle infectious disease threats head-on. Thanks to @CAPTRSgames for the tabletop exercise. Public health works behind the scenes to protect us all.…
#Marburg in Rwanda: a situation that bears watching. If it stays in Rwanda, prospects for quick control look decent. Got to hope it doesn't cross into neighboring countries, though. statnews.com/2024/09/30/mar…
Thank you @uthealthcomm for having me as the keynote speaker at the 10th Annual Health Communication Leadership Institute & for highlighting my remarks on the key drivers of success in primary care delivery & public health: ✔ A clear mission ✔ Building relationships across…

Excellent choice @FlagshipPioneer. Raj is a class act, one of the best I've worked with over my career. Congratulations @rajpanjabi!
I am thrilled to be joining @FlagshipPioneer. Its unique approach to inventing and building companies that transform human health and sustainability has inspired me. I look forward to working with the Flagship team and partners to continue to drive this work forward.
It is OK to be kind, to be happy, to experience joy. As Mr. Rogers said, "There are three ways to ultimate success: The first way is to be kind. The second way is to be kind. The third way is to be kind."
Political violence is never the answer; we must give this violence no home in our democracy. We are better than this.
We need to support front line veterinarians that are courageously coming forward with their clinical observations and impressions, whether in animals or humans. The USG, state authorities, and producers need to provide incentives so farm workers can seek medical care
👀US-based vet said that there is underreporting of H5N1 infections in farm workers "every dairy that I've worked with has – with the exception of one – had sick human beings at the same time they had sick cows" bovinevetonline.com/news/industry/…
There is no greater failure by our state and federal lawmakers than the inability to protect our children and families from the devastation of gun violence.
The @washingtonpost took the extraordinary step to publish never before seen images from mass shootings. They are disturbing but, together with deeply personal accounts, offer the public a real look at what an AR-15 does. washingtonpost.com/nation/interac…
Today, Jill and I lit the Diya to symbolize Diwali’s message of seeking the light of wisdom, love, and unity over the darkness of hate and division. May we embrace the enduring spirit of this holiday and of our nation – and reflect on the strength of our shared light.
The suffering of children, all children, is unbearable. Children suffer tonight in Israel, Gaza, Ukraine, & all over the world. The global security architecture has failed; prevention of continent-wide or global war can’t be the only measure of success.
In patients over 40, those receiving management of appendicitis nonoperatively need a follow up colonoscopy because about 2% will have been caused by a tumor. #ACEP23
I was just reminded of this incredible quote from Novak Djokovic. It contains everything you need to know about achieving extraordinary outcomes. You’ve gotta like hitting the ball.
Well said @BenSasse. As a nation we are weakened by a moral confusion that inexplicably justifies violence against Jewish civilians. Anti-Semitism must be addressed, if not, we risk repeating the horrors of our not so distant history.
This, from @BenSasse, is powerful and true. If you're going to make an institutional statement, this is how it is done:
All Americans should be horrified and outraged by the brazen terrorist attacks on Israel and the slaughter of innocent civilians. We grieve for those who died, pray for the safe return of those who’ve been held hostage, and stand squarely alongside our ally, Israel, as it…
As the atrocities committed by Hamas become ever more horrifyingly clear, it can seem too painful to endure. But we cannot and should not allow ourselves to look away. These grotesque crimes were designed to dehumanize and desensitize. We owe it to the victims to bear witness—so…
"It is a very horrific testimony to the absolute carnage... and utter, utter brutality of Hamas" @NicRobertsonCNN visits a bomb shelter in Israel targeted by Hamas cnn.it/3rTqI4h
War is horrible enough as it is - but the blatant targeting of children, women, and the elderly; the dehumanization of human beings by parading bodies in the back of a truck…there aren’t strong enough words of condemnation.
This snippet from @SahilBloom resonates: After all, how you do anything is how you do everything.
