The world is in a much stronger position to respond to and contain outbreaks of monkeypox in large part because of R&D investments in the closely related smallpox virus. What can we learn from this model to prepare for future threats? πŸŒπŸ’‰ cepi.net/news_cepi/coul…
cepi.netCould monkeypox give us an R&D blueprint to end pandemics? – CEPIAvailability of smallpox countermeasures, developed to counter bioterrorism, also give the world the means to combat monkeypox and other orthopoxviruses. What if this approach could be applied to all viral families?

There should be (and maybe is and I just don't know it) a term of art for this kind of factual belief that turns out to be irrelevant. https://t.co/28GZI22a3d

parents hold inaccurate beliefs about local segregation levels & underestimate them. But information treatments that correct inaccurate beliefs do little to influence support for policies to reduce segregation https://t.co/Q1g6fx7hQf

As head of dinosaur marketing I am pleased to announce the rebranding of dinosaur feathers, which will now be known as "airblades" or "dangerscales" or something.

I should clarify β€” I am not worried about an inflationary spiral and neither are financial markets. But that’s because we are expecting further rate hikes not because we’re expecting the inflation to vanish. https://t.co/oc9Pm6yptB

@mattyglesias What expectations/spirals? 5y5y breakevens aren't indicating spirals at least.

Yes obviously the shooter's name and face doesnt need to be known or shown but what they did to people, and the gun they used, does. These shooters are failures and nobodies. They exist everywhere but only here can they buy guns and do their damage.

Four years ago, and many dozens of schoolyard gun massacres in the past, I wrote about the person who has done so much in blocking efforts to reduce the carnage. I wish this, written after the Parkland FL shooting, were no longer relevant. But alas:
theatlantic.comThe Empty Rituals of an American MassacreSenate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell expressed his β€œdeep sadness,” but continues to block gun-control proposals that enjoy the support of most Americans.
