Hi, actual scientist here 👋 Science doesn’t work by proving a negative. You don’t prove unicorns don’t exist. You look for evidence they do and if none shows up, you move on. And here’s what we’ve found after decades of research: Millions of children. Dozens of studies. Multiple countries. Same result every time: No causal link between vaccines and autism That’s not uncertainty. That’s overwhelming evidence. Saying “well you can’t rule it out completely” isn’t science. It’s appeal to ignorance - pretending “not disproven” is the same as “possible.” If we accepted that logic, we’d have to fear: 🧪 Organic broccoli causing autism 📺 Television causing autism. 🌦 Clouds causing autism. Because nobody has “ruled them out” either. Science isn’t about imagining risks. It’s about measuring them and vaccines have been measured more than almost anything else in medicine. So let’s be clear: 💉 Vaccines have evidence. ❌ The autism claim has none.

Huge honor to receive this award named after one of my favorite people in the world, Dr. Susanne Hering. She is part of the original group that launched aerosol research before people realized it was a field in and of itself...she is a role model for many, including me.
Congratulations to Scripps & @UCSanDiego atmospheric chemist @kprather88 for receiving the prestigious 2025 Susanne V. Hering Award from the American Association for Aerosol Research (@AmericanAerosol)! 🎉 She was lauded for her outstanding contributions to aerosol science.

My daughter loves picking flowers (or weeds :) and handing them to me on our walks .. I always try to keep them. Every one. Why? Because I read this and it’s 🥹 “Flowers that your children pick for you are one of the only gifts they can give you without asking for help”

The world we want won’t be shaped by silence. It will be shaped by those willing to stand up for the evidence, no matter how loud the opposition gets. ♻️Repost if you agree. 8/

Remembering Ratan Tata, whose generous gift established Tata Hall for the Sciences. He said, "I kept feeling that there is something happening at UC San Diego that would make a difference...What we are doing is a big thing for mankind...” bit.ly/4eZi8E1 @ucsdbiosciences

This is unbelievable...from a state that has been a leader in how to protect against a disabling airborne disease. This is short sighted which result in a steep cost on many levels @CAPublicHealth
