ADA censors scientists at their own conference on Friday
2 (maybe more) board members resign by Monday
It shows scientists in solidarity with each other 👏🏻

Resignations included the organization's president-elect and scientific sessions chair
God forbid we give new mothers paid parental leave /s
My (amazing) county exec is proposing 18-weeks paid parental leave 👏🏻

I went to Utah to see what life is like in America's new reality, where vaccine-preventable diseases are common again.
Utah's measles outbreak has lasted 10 months. Pediatricians teared up in interviews. Mothers were stressed.

House Appropriations released its FY27 bill, again working to eliminate Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), which it calls "duplicative." My friend/colleague @sundermannaj.bsky.social & I wrote on AHRQ's necessity. thehill.com/opinion/heal...
