Covid-19 expert Akiko Iwasaki fights a different virus: sexism in science
To know virologist Akiko Iwasaki is to know that she is passionate about combatting sexism, power imbalance, and toxic behavior in academia.

And if anyone has any ideas about how to think about getting at deaths averted, dollars saved per each additional community health worker at the county level, let me know. Data is the problem for us right now. newpoliticsofcare.net/map.html pic.twitter.com/2SWLO5XgfO

Can Trump Order the FDA to Approve a Treatment for Unscientific Reasons?
He cannot do so lawfully, but it’s not clear that any court would act if he tried.
Scholars talk about being Black on campus in 2020
Scholars discuss what it’s like to be a Black professor in 2020, who should be doing antiracist work on campus and why diversity interventions that attempt to “fix” Black academics for a rigged game miss the point entirely.

Community Health Workers Report on How Adding More Can Save Lives
A hypothetical policy intervention of a 20% increase in each state’s community health workers could save up to 17,000 lives per year.
Gregg Gonsalves
We'd have loved to have given you less subjective indicators to use, deaths averted or Medicaid dollars saved per each additional community health worker, but we need more granular county data from @BLS_gov to go beyond the state-level analysis here. 12/

A centerpiece of a New Deal for Public Health is a Community Health Corps modeled on the 1930s Works Progress Administration to put millions to work repairing the health of our communities from the ground up. These ideas are also showing up in Congress. 3/

Brett Kavanaugh Signals He’s Open to Stealing the Election for Trump
Justice Kavanaugh cast doubt on the validity of mail ballots and endorsed a theory too extreme for the Bush v. Gore majority.

Not a Normal Election
By telling Americans in advance that he intends to stay in power regardless of the vote count, Trump implicates his supporters in his actions.
Gregg Gonsalves
.@TimothyDSnyder warned us in 2016, he is here again in 2020: "What, then, is the moral meaning of a vote for Donald Trump on November 3? To vote for Trump is to traduce the meaning of voting, which is a normal part of the transition to authoritarianism."
