When my Aunt Joyce died very early in the pandemic, I did not have space to properly grieve. Nearly three years later, I'm grateful to @LateralJournal and co-editors Theodora Danylevich and Alyson Patsavas for giving this piece--these memories--a home. https://t.co/kDiE2XDkwU

This essay is a rumination on loss during the pandemic—not only the physical loss of loved ones but the loss of experiences and time. Focusing specifically on the death of my aunt, Joyce Dana...

“Our worst nightmare is that weather forecast offices will be so understaffed that there will be needless loss of life,” wrote five former NWS directors from both Democratic and Republican administrations in an open letter on May 2nd. In Houston, 44% of NWS positions are vacant.

Breaking: We’ve learned a Pitt grad student and two recent graduates had their visas revoked and their SEVIS records terminated by the government. This comes one day after we learned 2 CMU students and 5 recent grads had theirs revoked. Join us at noon on @WPXI with what we know.

I am ENRAGED. This administration and these influencers will be the death of us all, these sensationalist liars. Get a spinal tap at five when you cant move below your chin and you TELL ME polio is a lie. Watch your child breathe in an iron lung. Then tell me, I dare you.

The myth of polio? Sir, my mother and aunt contracted polio at 5 & 7. Their parents watched behind glass while doctors tried to will their bodies to be mobile again. They experienced nerve damage and paralysis. My aunt is dead due to post-polio and my mother is in constant pain.
Joe Rogan Guest Completely Shatters the Vaccine Narrative Everything you’ve been told is a lie—especially when it comes to polio. Dr. Suzanne Humphries, author of Dissolving Illusions, reveals what really made all those polio cases disappear after the vaccine was introduced.

This is very very bad and collective action amongst faculty and unions must be taking place to care for students.
New: Rubio confirmed he revoked the visa of the Tufts student and said he likely has revoked the visas of hundreds more. “We do it every day. Every time I find one of these lunatics, I take way their visas." The total # of revoked visas “might be more than 300 at this point"

Quite the read while on a bus past CMU.
NEW: @CarnegieMellon President Farnam Jahanian said it was one of six universities to receive a letter from the House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party. The letter asked for info about its international students + ties w/ China @TribLIVE

Students who call out genocide are not welcome on campus, disabled students are not welcome on campus, union leaders are not welcome on campus...but the FBI and NYPD? THEY are VERY welcome on campus.
Meanwhile this is from an email we received from President Laura Rosenbury of @BarnardCollege two days ago. Masked kidnappers can disappear our friends and the university has nothing to say, while students are banned from masking.

Rumeysa was kidnapped in plain sight & sent to Louisiana to be locked in the same detention center Mahmoud Khalil was sent to. She's a peaceful protestor, grad student, & my constituent who has a right to free speech & due process. Now she's a political prisoner. Free her now.
Tufts student Rumeysa Ozturk was detained by ICE. A video shared with GBH News shows a man in a hoodie approach her, then grab her wrists. Ozturk screams, then asks “Can I call the police?” before being told “We’re the police.” https://t.co/6dwvEmqjVr

Researchers anticipate 6.3 million deaths from AIDS over the next four years if funding doesn’t resume. 6.3 million—in other words, a Holocaust. https://t.co/nVf5DuDgn7

UNAIDS boss Winnie Byanyima says if U.S. foreign aid isn't restored, AIDS will "come back, and we'll see people die the way we saw them in the '90s."

1/ If you teach or work at @Columbia you should be striking, refusing/withdrawing your labor, marching, screaming, protesting, & doing everything you can to get Mahmoud Khalil released & sent home. We need you putting your body on the line now.
Where are Columbia faculty? All those who hide behind anonymous letters of “solidarity” with students? Your students have been arrested, expelled and now having their permanent residency revoked - what are you doing? What are well-positioned, wealthy sympathetic alumni doing?

As an epidemiologist, as a Black woman, as an American, I am overwhelmed. I grieve this because it represents so much in the midst of the cacophony of chaos that is still occurring. I love my career so much. It’s my favorite thing to do everyday. If I won the lottery, I’d clock
