Good points about the press, @CharlesCMann . Though on some of these issues, like mask use, there were many studies supporting use, and the science at the time did not seem equivocal, nor does it seem equivocal now. Does it?

Should you fear bird flu reaching you and your family? New podcast from @tanyalewis314 and I & @sciam tells you why to chill-- for now. scientificamerican.com/podcast/epis...
Measles isn't just a rash. It can kill 3 in 1000 infected kids. We have more measles cases in 3 months this year than in all of 2023. In our podcast @tanyalewis314 and I discuss why w/ @dr_kkjetelina. And how even after infection, vaccines reduce symptoms. scientificamerican.com/podcast/episod…
Families are under attack in America. Read @mvbroadfoot story in @sciam -- an astounding piece of reporting-- to find out how, & how families are pushing back

What's wrong with Gaza war reporting in a nutshell. Story here is about finger pointing: Gaza says Israel did it. Israel denies. The actual story is 20 killed, hundreds wounded trying to get food. Who are they, their families, what's the ongoing harm? nytimes.com/live/2024/03...
OpenMind's series on the thought biases that leave people open to science disinformation--and how to fight them -- is out! Articles, podcasts, and Tiktoks! Must read, must listen, must watch! openmindmag.org/misinformation…
Kids can return to school safely just 72 hours after measles contact IF THEY GET VACCINATED & don't have symptoms. A basic health fact Florida isn't telling parents during the current measles outbreak. From @dr_kkjetelina & @kmpanthagani in new @sciam. scientificamerican.com/article/florid…
BREAKING: The CDC is changing Covid isolation guidelines. If you don't have a fever and your symptoms are improving, you don't need to isolate, they say. That runs entirely counter to scientific evidence: newrepublic.com/article/179304…
today, @sciam is launching a new expert-written column on the science behind parenting and how to parse through some of the advice that's out there. here's our intro. send your ideas to opinion#sciam.com and share this with your networks. scientificamerican.com/article/the-sc…

Welcome the Day of the Superb Owl.
Just was asked by this platform to authenticate my account by matching the number of rocks (R) with the number (L), & grateful for both my Ph.D. in geology & the quantitative skills I learned along the way.
Laugh and learn! Now in @sciam, we have a comic strip guide to how your brain evolved, and why the "other end" of your body may have played a crucial role. Thanks to @KnowableMag and @sciencecomic & @timvernimmen scientificamerican.com/article/a-comi….
Something important has changed in how your body responds to COVID. It'll change what negative home tests mean, but positive ones are still accurate. @tanyalewis314 & I explain in our new @sciam podcast episode. scientificamerican.com/podcast/episod…
It's 9:38 (Eastern time, US). I hope you're celebrating the end of 2023. And if you don't want to start 2024 with a hangover, @tanyalewis314 and I have some tips for you. Just an 8 minute listen. You can finish before midnight! scientificamerican.com/podcast/episod…
The holidays are a time for indulgence, but there are ways to drink alcohol without suffering the painful effects. trib.al/b6271g2
Must-read if you buy Vitamin D supplements (or drink milk!). There's no D deficiency epidemic in the US. In her awesome @sciam story @cragcrest explains the new D science, and the amazing amount your body produces on its own. scientificamerican.com/article/how-mu…

Have questions about H5N1? We all do. Attempted to explain what we know and don’t know and some challenges in this Q&A for @sciam with the brilliant Megan Bartels. Read here: scientificamerican.com/article/u-s-ne…

Unquestionably the best thing you will read today, this thread.
One year ago, a sparrow chick hatched. One of 150 million in North America. One of 50 billion in the world. They’re considered vermin in Los Angeles county, an invasive species that competes w native birds and damages property bc they like to live near humans.
Finally, my deepest appreciation to the Rosalynn Carter Fellowships for Mental Health Journalism, the @CarterFellows and my mentors Bob Myers and @KUOWdebwang.
Also, thanks to the researchers who shared their expertise, including @LisaDiamondLab, @RLuisAbreu, Russ Toomey, Jonathan Goodman, @davidmhuebner, @Kerithconron, and @DaniRosenkrantz. And many thanks to @lizdyer for helping spread the word about my project.
Thanks to @ChristiansenJen for the stellar graphics; Helen Santoro for the invaluable sensitivity read; @aparnanathan for painstaking fact-checking; and Angelique Rondeu and @ChristiKeller10 for meticulous copyedits.
I hope it sheds light on the unique mental health challenges faced by parents of LGBTQ youth. I am grateful to the families for their bravery and vulnerability and for trusting me with their stories.
I started working on this story two years ago, and I’m so excited to finally see it out in the world: Families Under Attack @sciam scientificamerican.com/article/famili…
Thank you to @jfischman for working so closely with me to ensure the subject was handled with fairness and sensitivity and @laurahelmuth for championing my approach to the story; Monica Bradley for treating the sources with care and Gioncarlo Valentine for the beautiful images.
'He also took issue with the fMRI findings, which he thought was not an appropriate test and was only based on a handful of participants. Overall, though, the study may have been too small to draw strong conclusions.'
'Vastag: They need to do treatment trials, like, that needs to be the next step. Patients are desperate and patients need treatment. And we can't just wait to figure out the entire pathophysiology, like we need to start.'
@jfischman TY @tanyalewis314 for covering ME/CFS & Long COVID
BREAKING: The CDC is changing Covid isolation guidelines. If you don't have a fever and your symptoms are improving, you don't need to isolate, they say. That runs entirely counter to scientific evidence: newrepublic.com/article/179304…
