So, just an FYI- taking one epi course does not make one an epidemiologist. We’ve seen a lot of folks who suddenly became epis during COVID. One class in a general public health program is informational but does not fundamentally make you an epi. (1/2)

People should not have to make the impossible choice between going to work, accessing healthcare, and getting groceries, or greatly increasing their risk of contracting a deadly virus. Masks help keep society safe, open, and accessible for everyone.

For millions of people of color, people with low incomes, people with disabilities or who are immunocompromised, and people who are elderly, buses and trains are their only form of access to transportation. Safe public transportation is an equity issue.

I don't know how many times we need to say this, but the transport mask mandate doesn't just apply to planes. It applies to buses and trains too. Millions who rely on buses and trains to get to work, and access essential services every day, will now be put at much greater risk.

Motion to replace "et al." with "and the gang". So, like "Johnson and the gang (2021)".

SB 613 would stifle the full inclusion of LGBTQ children & kids of LGBTQ couples n classrooms across GA. All students deserve to see themselves and their families reflected in the classroom, the library, and on the field of play. Send you message now! secure.everyaction.com/2Vi53…

When a scientist comes to a conclusion, they should say “Data!” in the same tone a magician says “Tada!”
