Yes. An NYT editor told me explicitly that I needed to be careful because climate as a subject was already seen too close to an activist desk. Made it almost impossible to layer on additional contexts like economic inequities and racism. https://t.co/C7N478qV00

NEW: Nuclear-test monitors tell @NPR the Tonga eruption is “the biggest thing that we’ve ever seen.”
— Geoff Brumfiel (@gbrumfiel) January 21, 2022
The data they cite points to a much larger explosion than earlier estimates: possibly of 50 Megatons OR MORE!!https://t.co/mNPsgpe1EJ pic.twitter.com/NmFD2obuYw
FDA ends for now use of two monoclonal antibodies made by Regeneron and Eli Lilly -- due to ineffectiveness against omicron.
— Nsikan Akpan, PhD (@MoNscience) January 24, 2022
Important to note that sotrovimab — a monoclonal antibody made by GlaxoSmithKline and Vir Biotechnology — still works https://t.co/kKAfeYXmJg
Que me entero ahora de que los POSITIVOS en test de auto diagnóstico NO los registran en Sanidad (al menos en la CAM) y, por lo tanto, mi certificado COVID no lo incluirá.

Almost everything about Tonga's recent volcanic eruption has left scientists scratching their heads, from the sonic boom to the baffling tsunami.
— Maya Wei-Haas, Ph.D. (@WeiPoints) January 20, 2022
And it all happened from about an hour of volcanic fury.

BREAKING: New CDC data suggest unvaccinated people 50+ are about 45x more likely to end up in the hospital than those who got a booster.

Just saw someone say they're wearing a surgical mask under their N95 mask. I cannot stress enough how much you should not do this. It completely disrupts the seal.
— Erin Biba (@erinbiba) January 22, 2022
Don't wear a second mask over your (K)N95 either, it's not more effective and it can disrupt the seal.
Important: The border wall stopped a Mexican gray wolf from migrating south

This is the first proof of the obvious: the wall prevents wildlife from making necessary migrations/movements
And what about the millions of animals not wearing GPS collars? https://t.co/SkyRg6rNP3

NEW: Last Saturday, a Tongan volcano unleashed a 10-megaton blast, a shockwave that traveled the world, tsunamis in two ocean basins, and a 34-mile-high ash plume. What triggered this cataclysm?
— Dr Robin George Andrews 🌋 (@SquigglyVolcano) January 20, 2022
Here's how scientists are going to find out. Me, for @WIRED https://t.co/Ro7OHmroO5
Please share far and wide: this is the first story from journalists at Tonga’s leading news agency after the colossal blast: “We were stuck in the seafront office as the many tsunamis came in - too late to get out…The event is etched in our memories.” #HungaTongaHungaHaapai https://t.co/Pm2IG42nwQ

Are you burnt out? Do you feel intensely, chronically angry about inaction on climate change? So angry, you can feel your blood sizzle in your veins? Yeah, me too. This story looks at how we can see that anger as fierce love and transform it into action. https://t.co/a3lm5hixw0

P.S. sotrovimab still works **and is still authorized**

Good to see @TheGrahamNash respond so firmly to RFK Jr.'s theft and perversion of his iconic song "Chicago" to spread lies and disinformation about #COVID19 and #vaccines. Go get 'em, Graham.

🚨I've had a frankly worrying number of messages from people who think the answer to the hospital crisis is simple: deny care to unvaccinated people.
— Ed Yong (@edyong209) January 20, 2022
I talked to ethicists and health-care workers about why this is a terrible, unconscionable idea. 1/https://t.co/Qo9dqvuPwV
