Mamdani has announced that NYC restaurants can have outdoor dining all year round.

This is actually a big public health win because fall and winter is when respiratory virus cases surge. Dining outdoors helps reduce the risk of disease spread.
Rain or shine, sun or snow, you can now break bread outdoors year-round.

Thanks to @cmrestler.bsky.social’s work, our favorite restaurants will no longer have to tear down and rebuild their setups each year.

It’s official: Outdoor dining is here to stay.

The FDA just approved daraxonrasib, a breakthrough drug for advanced pancreatic cancer that doubles survival time.

This is huge: pancreatic cancer was once thought untreatable.

The researchers received a standing ovation when they presented the trial results, unheard of at scientific conferences.

This isn’t the Middle Ages, we should be able to Trust Our Food…..

“Grow your own food" is a dumbass response to food recalls. I can't grow a year's supply of salad, but I can pay taxes to a govt that regulate food producers and keeps food safe.

Surprising fact: We are actually NOT seeing more food recalls this year compared with recent years.

What we’re seeing is an increase in the number of illnesses caused by contaminated food. This is the largest ever cyclospora outbreak & third-largest foodborne illness outbreak of any kind on record.

My unvaccinated brother died of COVID in 2021. I was about a year and a half into my epidemiology career.

Healthcare staff did absolutely everything they could but they cannot cure ignorance. They cannot cure an anti-science belief and culture. Thats YOUR responsibility.

Not Dr. Fauci’s.

Important #Ebola terminology:

“Bundibugyo” is not a strain of Ebola virus—it is a distinct Ebolavirus species, separate from Zaire & Sudan.

A species is a major genetic grouping with differences in virology, epi & medical countermeasure effectiveness; a strain is a genetic variant in a species.

You're about to see headlines saying abortion pills can't be shipped. THAT IS NOT TRUE

You can still get abortion pills by mail to all fifty states.

Some providers will switch to miso-only, some will ship both mife & miso. I got into all of this when the federal court ruling first dropped:

Hollywood has developed a collective eating disorder based around a particular set of medications that almost no one in Hollywood needs, and the result is that a lot of beautiful people now look like they're dying, and culturally, this is going to be so phenomenally destructive, esp for young ppl.

We ordered Chinese food. First went to order from DoorDash until we noticed a $25 service fee. Went to the restaurants website, chose their delivery service of choice and saved $50 from the DoorDash price.
