I know I’ve tweeted/said this before but I’ll say it again… As a society we would all be better off if we changed our mindset from the Western ways of “I have rights” and moved towards how many Indigenous cultures view it as “I have obligations.” /1

They literally broke into the United States Capitol building, had their feet propped up on Nancy Pelosi’s desk, had Congresspeople hiding in closets — and they want to tell us that we can’t stand on the sidewalk outside of Kavanaugh’s house? Nah.

This is why investing in social science research is so goddamn important. What use is it sinking trillions into new medicines and technologies if we don't fully understand the people who we're supposed to be helping?
What could NIH have done differently during the pandemic? Dr. Francis Collins to @JudyWoodruff: "Maybe we underinvested in research on human behavior. I never imagined a year ago ... that we would still have 60 million people" not get vaccinated. https://t.co/KS5DIvofpZ
