The Administration wants to limit F1 visa duration to 4 years. Students may apply for more time from "acceptable" universities (those complying, like not Harvard). Who can take a chance on a foreign grad student? Public comment open. Go #AcademicTwitter

The FDA approved new versions for Fall 2025. Vaccines are approved for individuals 65 and older, under 64 must have high-risk conditions.

A new proposal from @CMSgov under @DrOz wants to add catheters, ostomy & trach supplies to Medicare’s competitive bidding program. This is a bad idea and will worsen outcomes for seniors & Medicare recipients. My latest in @MedPageToday explains why ⬇️

Limiting urological, tracheostomy, and ostomy supply options will do more harm than good

Right now @SenBillCassidy should be screaming for the resignation of @SecKennedy after he lied to the confirmation committee under oath. He is dismantling public health in the USA, and Senator Cassidy knows it, says nothing, and is responsible for a horrendous, deadly mistake.

This will be a turning point in public health that will do tremendous harm. I don't know how we will ever turn it around.
RFK Jr is going to tell the world that vaccines cause autism because it's something that he has believed all his life despite all evidence to the contrary . No new evidence has come to light to support this. Its simply not true. Doesn't matter. He's decided . Dangerous moment.

Hmm. Where is this place of which he speaks?.
Trump: We have groceries down, energy is way down, energy is way down. It was four and $5 for a gallon of gas. And now it's probably 2.25. There are some places it's $2, it even broke $2 in a couple locations in the south.

2/2 But it also shows the bias that professional women always have to deal with. I have huge respect for Dr. Rasmussen and what she does for public education on vaccines and public health. If NPR can't get it right. .

Today on 1A @NPR featured an interview with Dr. @angie_rasmussen and @DrPaulOffit . Both were excellent as always. But the host always referred to Dr. Rasmussen as "Angie" and Dr. Offit as "Dr. Offit", never using her formal title. Her title is important, she is an expert. 1/2.
