I’m into food, comedy, nature and neuroscience. I’m nerdy and I don’t care who knows it. I write about biological influences on depression and anxiety.

The Covid-19 pandemic has increased anxiety and depression globally. In the current environment, it is vital that everyone has equal access to mental health resources. #equality #Mentalhealth #COVID19 #broadband #internet

What a moving moment! The Minnesota Twins pay tribute to George Floyd and remind players and fans alike that we are “One Team. One Territory. United for Change.” TOGETHER - we can make sure tributes like this never have to happen again.

Warren is calling on the heads of the Justice, Defense, Homeland Security and Interior departments to commit to not using federal agents against protesters in US cities before and after the election — specifically if Trump loses and refuses to leave office cnn.it/39zzmr4

Not good. I don’t trust this administration with handling scientific data, especially not coronavirus data in the middle of the pandemic.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Allowing the Trump administration to have control of such critical data is potentially dangerous for America and horrible for transparency. cnbc.com/2020/07/16/us-coron…

Coronavirus data has already disappeared after Trump administration shifted control from CDC

"We were surprised because the modules that we normally go to were empty. The data wasn't available and not there," coronavirus researcher Ryan Panchadsaram said. "There was no warning."

I used to work inside HHS & I’d like to comment as to why it might make sense for HHS to prevent CDC from getting & showing hospital data. There is no possible good reason.
