I ghosted X long ago but making a brief appearance to plead for more scientists to vacate the premises and come to bluesky where the owner of the platform isn’t blatantly spreading lies and misinformation and messing with the algorithm #epitwitter #getoffsciencetwitter

This is quite an exchange with @DavidAFrench about whether we are witnessing the emergence of a "dual state."

"The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command."
(Video: @DropSiteNews)
Greg Bovino: "An individual approached U.S. Border Patrol agents with a 9mm semi-automatic handgun. The agents attempted to disarm the individual, but he violently resisted. Fearing for his life and the lives and safety of fellow officers, a Border Patrol agent fired defensive shots…This looks like a situation where an individual wanted to do maximum damage and massacre law enforcement."
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Video shows Alex Pretti, permitted U.S. ICU nurse, filming with phone in both hands when agents pepper-sprayed and tackled him. Gun holster-removed while pinned; fatal shots followed. Contradicts claim of approaching with drawn handgun amid resistance. theguardian.com/us-news/video/… abcnews.go.com/US/alex-pretti… kstp.com/kstp-news/top-…

🧠 Next Generation Brain Health: Why Young Adults Matter in the Fight Against Dementia
A 2024 Lancet Healthy Longevity study launches a bold global initiative to identify brain health risks before midlife—targeting adults aged 18–39. Here’s what they're uncovering:
Key Risk Factors
🚬 Smoking & substance use
🧂 Poor diet & low physical activity
😴 Sleep disruption
😓 Chronic stress & social isolation
📱 Digital overload & low mental stimulation
Key Resilience Builders
🧠 Higher education & cognitive engagement
🏃 Regular physical activity
🌱 Healthy nutrition
🧘 Mindfulness & emotional regulation
🫂 Strong social networks
🌍 Global, inclusive research aims to stop dementia before symptoms start—not just in older adults.
💡 Prevention is proactive. Protect your brain early, live better later.
Repost to raise awareness! 🧠💪

Millions of older adults likely have minor memory issues that can later become #dementia. But only a fraction of them are diagnosed early enough for new treatments to stand a chance. wired.com/story/nearly-every… by @cogcelia @WIRED via @BryanDJames

Violating my pledge not to post here for this:
There are so many awful things going on in the country right now but I feel it's my mission as a scientist to communicate what is happening to health research. We are in CRISIS mode--this blog lays it all out science.org/content/blog-pos…
I don't have the answers on what to do, but I am resolved to 2 things: 1) make as many people as possible aware of what is happening to scientists and 2) not quitting--I love what I do, I know it's important to try to keep people healthy, and I am not getting forced out
