In 2018, three colleagues and I published a front-cover paper in @PNASNews
It has > 170 citations as of 2022, and it was a success that might not have happened:
• We had $0 budget
• We had no PI (Principal Investigator)
• We had no credentials
[Here's how we did it] 🧵

President Biden's announcement today about student loan debt relief has upset some people who believe it's unfair. I acknowledge that resentment, and also, while we're on the subject of unfairness, I have some thoughts for your consideration. (thread)

1. We actually DO want public health experts to shape how we open schools
2. Ignoring CDC has been a pretty bad strategy so far
3. Question isn't can we open schools. Sure, we can open schools
Question is: can we keep schools open?
If we ignore science, the short answer is no
PENCE: “We don’t want the guidance from the CDC to be the reason schools don’t open up.” #COVID19
