I love this @Nature article by @samjscience on careful considerations to human microbiome research, especially on consent, benefit sharing, commercialization, avoiding stigma, questioning data ethics norms, and calling question to health and digital equity for Indigenous peoples. Also featuring Indigenous friends and colleagues Drs. Matt Anderson, @KeoluFox, and the amazing @NativeBio. It is special is seeing the saddle blanket that shinálí asdzą́ą́ (paternal grandma) wove for my grandfather in the background of one of the videos: "Data collection first, apologies later". It's one of the beautiful touches that I am so glad that the @ASU Media team captured: nature.com/immersive/d41586-…
I’m grateful to the many researchers who spoke with me about what the future of Indigenous microbiome research should look like, particularly the Indigenous researchers who trusted me to share their histories and work @Nature nature.com/immersive/d41586-…

Great #data #sovereignty READ! Thanks @samjscience @Nature featuring @NativeBio and cofounders @kstsosie @kfox @science_punx “How rapidly we can sequence.. create data... commodify — I don’t think that the policy has caught up,” says Fox.
An ethical way forward for Indigenous microbiome research go.nature.com/4791xuU

Imagine being a badass scientist, MIT Physics, Forbes 30u30, and having millions of followers on multiple social media communicating about sciences. Just married, full of hopes and dreams. Suddenly, this is everyday life for you. This is the reality of @thephysicsgirl and so many others. It can happen to anyone. #LongCovid #NotjustaFlu

the best part of being a science writer is when you go to google something, and the internet is like "actually, your podcast co-host can explain that to you"

Want to learn more about tuberculosis--both how it infects people and how, like other forms of injustice, it survives by exploiting our failure to acknowledge the humanity of others? Listen to the new episode of Tiny Matters! tinymatters.buzzsprout.com/s…
Tuberculosis is curable, yet ~1.5 million people still die from it each year. On today's #TinyMatters, @johngreen joined @okidoki_boki and me to talk about the fight for equitable access to tuberculosis testing and treatment, including #bedaquiline💊 🔗open.spotify.com/episode/2YC…
