    Yes, please. International health cooperation requires...wait for it, cooperation!

    Intelligence on : not bioweapon. Most agencies say likely animal-to-human, one says likely lab. "China’s cooperation most likely would be needed to reach a conclusive assessment..." ❓Does this mean we can stop with the attacks on for using diplomacy?

    Cuomo's resignation is another reminder of why "bothsidism" obscures the real dynamics of partisanship. Democrats put immense pressure on the governor to resign. The parties differ in how they balance partisan power versus other considerations, such as governance and principle.

    I want to be clear - the majority of spread in the US is among the unvaccinated. Vaccinated people can spread the virus if they get a breakthrough infection, but the odds of them getting sick in the first place are far lower than those who are unvaccinated.

    Actual knowledge vs Harvard bro hot take

    Nah, it’s the cultural coding of these that’s gendered. Antivax discourse has long been linked to mothering discourses. This goes back decades. As for nuclear power, men are really the standouts here. Ever met a nuke bro?

    The fight against antisemitism would be helped a great deal if the Israeli gov't & US Jewish leaders would stop using the term against those who draw a principled and rational distinction between commercial transactions in the State of Israel & those in the territory it occupies.

    Climate friends: I'm updating my undergrad climate politics syllabus. Looking for suggestions of good recent writings - both academic and journalistic - and especially if there is a good preview for Glasgow out there.

    In a very highly immunized country, the only cases of COVID-19 occur in fully vaccinated people. If you’re unable to envision how this could be exactly what success looks like, keep thinking on it. I realize it isn’t necessarily intuitive.

    Fabulous episode worth listening to it. Andersen explains animal origins so well

    Can journalists please retire Richard Ebright's grossly inaccurate, admittedly colorful but nonetheless wrong depiction of a BSL-2 lab as being comparable to a dentist's office? I'm torn between being concerned about his dental health and amazement that people believe him.
