In Oklahoma food recalls include 🌑Taylor Fresh Foods iceberg lettuce from June 29th through July 16th 🌑Marketside-brand iceberg lettuce products sold at select Walmart stores

"FDA’s investigation is ongoing."

Oklahoma is on the list. Saved ya a click, my fellow okies. I guess I feel lucky now that I tried to meet up with people at a restaurant today, but all the entrances I could find were locked... #truestory #lockedoutofrestaurants #thatsme

And why would you? There's work to be done there for the American people. (Source: me, a former intern in Congress who never slept well, because I was working so much and was so stressed out by it all)

Living for this news coming out of the woodwork. Working with these kinds of people is stressful and creepy.

@AndrewSolender Chicken kababs and saffron rice? Sigh...hopefully not wasted food from Shamshiry

someone dropped their food at the U.S. Cpitol

NEW in @Nature: This is now the largest Cyclospora outbreak in US history. But CDC's parasite surveillance team was slashed from 11 people to 3 last year. Joel Barratt, who ran the team, worries the CDC doesn't have the staffing to stop the outbreak quickly.

I just realized it's been too warm to wear this @npr sweater ever since I bought it (and the entire NPR climate desk has been dismantled in the interim). What's a girl to do?!

Feeling lucky I ate Taco Bell over two weeks ago, now, without incident...

I am deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Susumu Tonegawa. He was the founding director of the Picower Institute for Learning and Memory and a remarkable scientific force. I am personally grateful for all that he has done for me. @MIT_Picower

@burgessev It's giving ... six seven vibes. Y'all are so goated rn.

Elementary school slang update: six year-old replying “bet” and accusing me of “capping”

This sounds oddly like scientists when they talk about what they do

Wow! 63 people downloaded our guide to working in the US #Congress for scientists this week! get it here: fancycomma.com/2024/12/07/sci…

Students are comparing a gamified literacy program to Clash of Clans and Subway Surfers. Proponents say the game boosts engagement. | #oklaed nondoc.com/2026/07/13/sho…

New approaches are being explored for people whose depression hasn’t responded to traditional treatment. This story is a good reminder of how much important research happens right here in Oklahoma. nondoc.com/2026/07/06/okl…

Here's my latest on #ScienceInTheEpsteinFiles. I thought I would surely move on from this beat soon, but the @fancycomma Instagram just reached 10k followers, so people are interested in this story and the work continues -- journalism is a service, after all

@propublica Y'all are my role models

Babies who don’t get the vitamin K shot are 81x more likely to develop a type of uncontrollable bleeding than those who do. But no agencies track refusal rates or subsequent bleeding. Following ProPublica’s report, lawmakers are demanding CDC action. propublica.org/article/vitami…

I'm shocked (pun intended) but not surprised. After a period of working way too much to have time to think, it was weird to have free time to sit with my own thoughts. It helped to just let myself feel the emotions and think the thoughts. I can sit quietly and do nothing again...

Major #depression can be hard to live with when it resists traditional treatments, but #Oklahoma researchers are eager to uncover new therapeutic options through novel brain stimulation techniques and medication combinations. Learn more from @SheevaAzma. nondoc.com/2026/07/06/okl…
