You won't ever know if what you did personally helped. That's the nature of public health. When the best way to save lives is to prevent a disease rather than treat it, success often looks like an overreaction.

At a time when the audio industry is in complete disarray, I'm SO PROUD to share that New York Public Radio has agreed to recognize our UNIONIZATION effort for a bunch of workers @WNYCStudios @WQXR @TheGreenSpace who -- til now -- the company had blocked from joining @sagaftra.
New York Public Radio - Union@NYPR_Union16 Jun 2023
IT’S HERE! New York Public Radio responded with voluntary recognition for a new group of @WNYCStudios @WQXR @TheGreeneSpace workers to unionize. Until now, the company blocked many of us from joining our @sagaftra union. This marks a new era as ONE UNION for NYPR. #WeMakeNYPR

Long shot! Do any of my human biology/bioanth friends happen to have a Quantum II BIA Analyzer gathering dust in their office? You would be my best friend for life if you'd let my team in Samoa borrow it! Ours is broken mid-study and it's discontinued! @RJLBIA

But the world is making an even bigger mistake by restricting the discourse on TB to the biomedical realm. We eliminated most of the TB in the US before there were any meds & vaccines through action on social determinants like food and housing. It’s time to learn from the past.

Finally found a week to visit Tokyo, and it is undeniably the worst week of the year to be in Tokyo. Will *anyone* be in the city in August?

The idea of "cultural competency" does not sit well with me for some reason. It feels like back-door essentialism. How about "structural competency?" -- places emphasis on the system that produces "cultural" responses.

NYU's exceptional contract faculty are a HUGE part of what makes it an exciting, engaging university. While I'm not contract faculty, I value and respect my contract colleagues. And the majority of them say they want a union!
CFU UAW@CfuUaw22 Feb 2023
Today we delivered a petition to @nyuniversity President Andy Hamilton signed by a majority of contract faculty—over 500 of us from each school and department—urging the administration to agree to a fair and expeditious process to verify our majority. tinyurl.com/cfupetition

Increasing attention is being paid to the inequity that pervades global health research. One behind-the-scenes component of the research enterprise that hasn’t been addressed is the indirect cost...

ICYMI over the holidays: New analysis on trajectories of TB disease c/o @rycktessman in @PNASNews: pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.22… Bottom line: people with subclinical but highly infectious (smear-positive) TB account for only 11-19% of cases but likely 35-51% of future transmission.

A lot of questions about XBB.1.5, which is elbowing out other omicron varieties to be the dominant variant of the winter surge. XBB.1.5 does seem to have a transmission/fitness advantage but that doesn’t mean it’s an apocalyptic “super variant.” Why? Vaccines work. See below:
