I've been writing about the fact that the press narrative on bee and insect health has been wrong since 2013--more than two dozen articles. Here's my first one, in Forbes. The entire campaign to ban neonicotionid insecticides and other crop chemicals because they allegedly kill insects in massive numbers is absolutely not supported by science...and never has been: forbes.com/sites/jonentine/2…

'For much of the postwar era, it was widely assumed that natural selection had largely ceased to shape human populations and that any evolution during the past ten millennia was too slow or too slight to detect,' write @jonentine and Patrick Whittle for @Quillette. 'A landmark study published in Nature last April by Harvard geneticist David Reich and colleagues has complicated that narrative. ... While the paper itself is technical and cautious, its implications are explosive. ... It has already dragged an older, more troubling word back into the discussion—“race”.' geneticliteracyproject.org/2…

"The research that refutes [Trump's] frankly false statement does not get the same amplification or the same publicity that #disinformation did, so I think it’s a big problem, unfortunately,” said Dr. @KamranAbbasi, editor-in-chief of the British Medical Journal. @bmj_latest #Tylenol #Misinformation geneticliteracyproject.org/2…

'Because the future is not set, scientists lay out a range of possible pathways for our future greenhouse gas emissions. They base them on what’s happened so far and what might happen in politics and technology over coming decades,' writes @AndrewKingClim, a climate scientist @uommedia. 'Taking RCP8.5 off the table is a sign of progress – we’ve avoided the worst-case scenario. But we have also missed the best-case future.' #ClimateChange #RCP85 #Misinformation geneticliteracyproject.org/2…

"A landmark study drawing on ancient DNA from nearly 16,000 West Eurasians found that directional genetic selection is not only widespread but accelerating." Stephen Jay Gould famously argued there had been no biological change in humans for 40,000 years. David Reich's latest research is making that consensus increasingly hard to sustain, write @JonEntine & Patrick Whittle.

Just when Trump thought the Epstein files threat was in the rear view mirror, Maggie Habermsn and Jonathan Swan come a knocking on the door of public consciousness again. Their upcoming book ‘Regime Change’ rips of the festering scab that has grown over the open wound of Trump’s relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. The regime are going to find this reporting very difficult to brush off as lies and a hit job. It’s just another in a growing list of damaging political threats Trump is unable to fend off.

'Some Americans seem increasingly inclined to make important health decisions based on their ideological commitments rather than the best evidence,' writes @camjenglish. 'That’s the implication of a recent paper published in Nature Human Behaviour.'

'The sudden interest in vitamin A in response to the measles outbreak was neither expected nor evidence-based, as it does not prevent #measles,' writes @medical_xpress.

Literal definition of Orwellian

Curious to hear your thoughts on who should fund these trials & why? Every single drug that gets launched undergoes a rigorous regulatory process that takes 10-15 years & costs $1 billion. During COVID, drug companies donated multiple doses of hydroxychloroquine to evaluate its efficacy in trials. It was found to be ineffective…. By doctors who were using the drug to try to save patients. And the companies then got lambasted for innovating their way out of the pandemic. I would love to hear some creative ideas for how to approach this from thoughtful doctors on this platform. Operation Warp Speed was an attempt to address the pandemic expediently. Remember, the industry scientists were all locked down, masked, social distanced & their kids were out of school, too. We’re all in this together. So I’m asking these questions in a good-faith effort to understand, 1) What would you do differently? 2) How would you design a study that proves safety & efficacy from the bench to the bedside? 3) How would you pay for that study? 4) If it costs $1billion dollars to get a drug from the bench to the bedside, before the costs of scaling up manufacturing to produce enough for the population, how do you propose to recoup that money so your company doesn’t go broke (and then nobody gets the drug)? Let me be clear - I don’t think Americans should be shouldering all of the costs for R&D. I do want to understand the ideal way to design and conduct a study that doctors and patients would trust. So let’s hear your thoughts - from across the spectrum of different perspectives. @CoffeeBlackMD @toxicologist12 @notaproviderMD @SacksDisa @anish_koka @ZiadKazzi @mass_marion @chris_komatsu @HSRdirector @dr_jon_l @tylerblack32 @real_doc_speaks @DrDiGiorgio @IanCopeland5 @whitfieldlewis6

Reality star-turned-LA mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt is often critical of "toxic #PFAS" after his Palisades house burned down, which has been a central narrative of his political campaign. He's angry at both the fire and at the most effective method to fight it, but he's not alone. The #EPA is currently phasing out PFAS in its fire policy.

Europe and the U.S. do not approach social media disinformation the same way, even when that information is humanity-moving. Is responsibility censorship? Join the convo, with @JonEntine, @camjenglish, and @DrLizaMD x.com/i/spaces/1YxNrZnejLzxw…
