This is wildly incorrect. PrEP for hiv prevention is 95%+ effective. Please remove this dangerous misinformation.

I hate seeing the messaging about the new bivalent boosters get diluted. It is simple. The recommendations are: - If you are > 12 yo - And > 2 months from your last vaccine dose - And have not had COVID in the last 90 days Then please get a bivalent booster NOW.

Of course, we listen to the faculty. The faculty have input on every decision in the college. We listen to them and then do the opposite because - let’s be serious - when have the faculty been right about anything?

Very interesting to see this paper out. The data very much agree with our predictions in Li et al (2021) – though the way the issue is framed somewhat misrepresents our position @johndmurray (1/5)
New paper! Reduced variability of bursting activity during working memory nature.com/articles/s41598-0… We have previously shown that bursts of gamma and beta rhythms coordinate the neural representation of the information held in working memory. 1/5

>50% of Physics/Astro faculty have parents w/ graduate degrees, ~70% w/ college degrees, & a parental PhD rate ~25x the national average. When colleagues discover my parents didn’t have college degrees, you can often sense the bewilderment/disdain. Privilege has many dimensions.

I don't see any reason to delay receiving an Omicron booster provided you're the sufficient time away from your most recent vaccine. I'll be getting mine as soon as I can.

I feel so bad for the over 80% of children that have been infected with SARS-CoV-2 and will be reinfected because our decision-makers prefer the optics of saying we kept schools open than acting on the urgency of making schools safer with indoor clean air as a pre-requisite.

Controversial thesis: If the highest paid person in your university or college is the basketball coach or the football coach, then it is not a university, it is a sporting franchise with a side hustle in tertiary education.

Insulin deserves to be considered a public good such as the air we breathe or water we drink for the vast and increasing number of diabetics. The technology was discovered over a century ago. It’s become an embarrassing poster child of what’s wrong with the American HC system. – at Óbidos, Portugal

Terrible news
With great sadness, I am sharing news about the unexpected passing of Dr. Mike Steinmetz, director of the Division of Extramural Science Programs at @NatEyeInstitute. This is a shock to all of us at NEI, and so many of you also worked with Mike. More: nei.nih.gov/about/news-and-e…
