“The bureaucracy is crumbling, and the produce aisle is a mess. But let’s be fair: The status quo on foodborne illness was never very good,” @danengber writes. theatlantic.com/health/2026/…
They're not anti-vaccine and they had no idea anyone was talking about the child they lost. theatlantic.com/health/2026/…
Sociologist Jason Arday has resigned from Cambridge University after being accused of rampant fraud.
Now his very inspiring memoir is about to come out from Simon & Schuster, and it's already an Editor's Pick on Amazon!
This won't end well:

Public-health advice is pretty clear that children are especially at risk of heat-related illnesses, but actual heat-related-illness data seem to tell a different story, @danengber reports: theatlantic.com/science/2026…
Psychologists Jonathan Haidt and Peter Gray were once allies in the fight against the ONE BIG THING that is destroying children's lives.
Then they had a disagreement over which THING, exactly, is the BIGGEST THING of all...

In the past five years, Americans’ fervor for injections has reached new heights—even as a wariness about vaccines persists, @danengber argues. He examines what this selective preference for needles may reveal about the country’s approach to wellness: theatlantic.com/health/2026/…

I missed this piece by @danengber when it came out, but it's fascinating. On the contradictions of MAGA's "animal nationalism."

Remember the "disappearing scientist" uproar of 2002, in the midst of the anthrax scare, when a bunch of microbiologists died mysteriously over a few months?
(It turned out not all were microbiologists, the deaths were not mysterious, etc etc etc)

Donald Trump's administration has taken a more active approach to animal welfare than any other president's in recent memory—which hints at something more widespread in right-wing, nationalist politics, @danengber writes: theatlantic.com/science/2026…

Trump is, of course, a man whose rise to power has been fueled by his denigration of people for being animal-like. The same politician who describes his political enemies as “vermin”—@danengber theatlantic.com/science/2026…
