Florida just announced the results of an analysis that they performed, saying the results show "an increased risk of cardiac-related death among men 18-39" for the mRNA vaccines, and recommend this group not receive these vaccines. Is this justified? Let's look at the data...

This is why 2nd boosters should be available for all health care workers now. A report on ~30,000 Israeli HCWs indicates 65% lower risk of breakthrough infections during the Omicron wave (4 vs 3 doses) @JAMANetworkOpen jamanetwork.com/journals/jam…

This is our @CDCgov X No warning on BA.5 X Still says 2 vaccine doses ="fully vaccinated" X Says 5 days is all that's needed for isolation when 5 days is the median length of infectiousness X 1 in 4 age 50+ w/ 2nd booster (<-survival benefit) X Transmission is the accurate map👇

Great tips embedded in too common story of how challenging and inequitable our healthcare system is
1/ After 2 years of working hard to avoid getting-- and spreading-- COVID, the pandemic finally caught up with my family. I thought I would share some of the things I learned along the way.

You think you’re safe. You’re not. The right is coming for trans kids, trans adults, LGBTQ people, anyone who gets pregnant, anyone of color, anyone on a visa, anyone immunocompromised. The only people who are safe are healthy rich white cis het men. Sharpen your pitchforks.

Horrified that families are threatened with separation and children are being denied life-saving treatments in Texas.

Come see our work on helping hospitalized kids share their goals with clinicians at #CSCW2021 on Wed programs.sigchi.org/cscw/202…. It was awesome working with @ZhaoYR_722, @tendtoyj, @shefali_h, @DrAriPMD, @juliaCDunbar, @reggiecp90, @CalvinRApodaca on this project.
I will present my work with @tendtoyj (and many wonderful others) advised by @ProfWanda on the last day of #CSCW2021! I will discuss how distinctively presenting patients' voices and setting + sharing patients' goals impact hospitalized pediatric care.

Great instructions for captioning an in-person class.
Universal Design Win! Using Zoom to auto live-caption my in-person lectures. Feedback from students after two weeks; it's great! Half the class use it to help understand me through my mask and to recap/catch up if they tune out for a moment. Here's my setup:
