The CDC is ***desperately*** in need of professional science communicators.

The CDC ***desperately*** needs to hire people who are trained and experienced in speaking to the public about complex science.
Wait till you hear about how they give each other funerals, have regional dialects, read traffic lights, and recognize the faces of humans they hate and hold grudges against them. https://t.co/Q4SnPNOjfk

Hey, national news desks: Your covid breakthrough infection heds, while accurate, are making it seem like covid vaccines don’t work, and they do. Please talk to your science teams and lock that down.

I just read six write ups of the infrastructure bill. Only one - CNN - included a link to the bill. None included the NAME of the bill so if you wanted to look it up yourself you could. If you're curious, it's H.R. 3684.

I really really don't understand political journalism.
I spent 2.5 years working on this story for @NYTmag, and I'm so glad it's finally out today. It's certainly the hardest story I've ever tackled, the most infuriating & the most heartbreaking. Extremely grateful to the brave women who shared their stories. https://t.co/5rZaGKDlPE

To the men sending me hate mail saying that my story about military sexual assault is bunk because women aren't actually sexually assaulted, etc: You know you're just proving the point right? Your reactions are quite literally illustrating the depth of the problem.

New: Google's quantum computing team in collaboration with physicists say they have demonstrated a genuine time crystal for the first time. I've been chasing this story for months now; the paper finally dropped yesterday evening. Read all about it: https://t.co/isIk1FBGPO

I want to say something important for folks who are still relying on 6-foot distancing rules. The 6 feet suggestion became a meaningless number the second we learned COVID was airborne a year ago. It's better to think of COVID dispersing like cigarette smoke. 6 feet is useless.

NEW: Delta is chicken-pox-level contagious, acts almost like a new virus, breakthroughs abound, internal CDC document reveals. Not good. SCOOP from @yabutaleb7 @Carolynyjohnson https://t.co/wHqzioDmcX

Thinking about the relationships between ultra-long-lived Bowhead whales & Greenland sharks. I imagine some must know each other individually. Theres no way you can swim in the Arctic for 200 years & not know that one creepy Greenland shark who's been hanging around for 400 years

Here's the evidence that made the CDC backtrack on masks: Among 469 COVID-19 cases in the Provincetown outbreak, 74% of them were fully vaccinated, and 90% of specimens sequenced were Delta. https://t.co/bgISlkoYVD

BREAKING: The CDC is expected to release data on Friday showing that vaccinated people may transmit the Delta variant, a finding that prompted its new masking advice.https://t.co/yfVXjreg86

If Johnson renegotiates the EU deal, perhaps we could renegotiate the last General Election?

*New study suggests that vaxx people *may* NOT spread Delta as easily as unvaxx.
— Amy Maxmen, PhD (@amymaxmen) July 31, 2021
Viral loads seem similar at first, but then decline rapidly in *vaxx* folks as neutralizing antibodies rush in. 💪🏽#MaskUp #GetVaccinated We're in this together. https://t.co/pUBV9cqCiq pic.twitter.com/lwp2ardcUK
