Squeezed in 🌈! Pretty special to have a global public health book read this widely in Britain from a Miami girl 😊. Thank you all 🙏🏼 Celebrating by heading out to Wardie Bay 🏄🏾‍♀️

The best argument against the 'politics doesn't matter' & 'all politicians are the same' line is what's happened over the past 2 weeks with Trump. Catastrophic to American short and long-term interests and destructive to the world.

USAID website erased with a holding message that all staff globally on leave as of Friday. None of the pages are working. Less than 1% of the federal budget goes to aid, but it's the largest donor worldwide. Tiny amount for the US, massive consequence for the poorest.

All of this chaos because people were unhappy over their *eggs* being too expensive. They're only going up in price bc of avian flu. Which is being ignored given health agencies are being gutted.

Death rates in Gaza are far higher than official reports. We knew this was going to happen without peace. From Dec 2023: 'Ultimately, unless something changes, the world faces the prospect of half a million human beings dying'

I think RFK would be a dangerous & terrible head of HHS- but it’s worth pulling apart his policy positions on scientific grounds. Some are deadly, some have no basis in facts & some are common-sense like removing additives & improving school lunches

No thank you. I write my own books.

All his kids are vaccinated. Don’t look at what he says (anti-vax is a lucrative position)- look at what he does.

An entire answer on egg prices and not one mention of avian flu- H5N1- spreading on poultry farms with high lethality in chickens. I guess they're pretending it doesn't exist and hoping the public don't make that link either.

Hey American scientists-> I've been abroad for a while and absolutely love Scotland, working at Edinburgh Uni with London nearby & close links to the entire world. And our health secretary believes in science, facts, research & germ theory.

If you're reading about the first case of bird flu in a human in the UK, don't panic. We knew this was going to happen- and you'll continue to hear about it. My column on 2025 health trends

I’m recording a podcast tomorrow about being an American expat - 20 years (!!) I’ve been abroad. I’ve loved my time in all the countries I’ve lived in. There’s a humility in seeing other societies & integrating & learning. What’s your take-away from living abroad (if you have)?

Why your eggs are so expensive & why science & healthy policy matter to make eggs cheaper.

Egg prices in the States- which became such an issue during the election- continue to rise because of *bird flu*- it’s killing off chickens & spreading on poultry farms. If you want cheaper eggs, then deal with avian flu first.
