BREAKING: All flights in and out of Reagan National Airport are currently halted due to a bomb threat on a flight, a source familiar with the situation tells me. The plane is isolated on the east end of the field. The FAA just extended the DCA ground stop until 1:30 PM ET.

NIH has announced a cut in the "indirect rate" to 15% across the board, in a move that appears to be retroactive to even existing grants. This is a bloodbath for research institutions throughout the country. Brief explainer for those not in this world: buff.ly/3EtML7D

@DrSDOH @srntorg Congrats Mignonne. A truly well deserved honor.

I’m celebrating the approval of our newest Bachelor of Science in Public Health degree in health behavior. Excellent work, Drs. Polston, Ribisl and Linnan!

If you think the Irish are doing well at all the Movie awards this year, wait until this wins Best Picture next year.

@noelTbrewer Well deserved honor and your deep expertise in behavioral science will inform policy

Honored to meet my favorite NPR host ⁦@ayesharascoe⁩ and hear about her new book HBCU Made. I can’t wait to read it.

@GardnerPhD @UNCpublichealth Great to see you Christopher. I think I learned as much from my fellow postdocs as our wonderful mentors. Keep up your amazing research and advocacy in promoting healthy diets and better food systems.

~30 years later Dr @KurtRibisl & I started a postdoc fellowship together @ Stanford in 1993. Now he's Professor/Chair of Health Behavior @UNCpublichealth & returned 2/8 to give Grand Rounds As postdocs, we played ultimate frisbee weekly🥏Before his talk we hurled a bit of disc

@KeithNHumphreys @StanfordMed Thank you Keith and I truly enjoyed coming back to the Stanford Prevention Research Center and sharing this work. This is where I first started working in tobacco control with such great mentors.
