Let's walk through what actually happened here, in order.
DOGE cut the USAID program specifically designed to prevent screwworm from crossing the U.S.-Mexico border. DOGE cut USDA's animal disease control and prevention funding. That funding had supported more than 180 outbreak investigations in 22 countries and capacity-building in more than 160 laboratories. The screwworm monitoring and response program that watched the border for exactly this parasite - cut.
Then screwworm showed up in Texas cattle. Texas Governor Greg Abbott declared a disaster for Zavala and Uvalde counties this week.
Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins went on CNBC this morning and blamed the Biden administration, 17 months out of office.
Her specific words: "obviously not much had been done to push back."
The program that was supposed to push back existed. DOGE eliminated it in March 2025. Rollins has been Agriculture Secretary since February 13, 2025. The cuts happened on her watch.
Beef prices are already high. Ranchers in south Texas are now dealing with a flesh-eating parasite that was eradicated in this country in the 1960s - eradicated, specifically, using the sterile fly program her department defunded.
The flies existed. The program existed. The budget existed.
Until it didn't.

When science comes together, communities are better protected.
Cambodia and the Lao People’s Democratic Republic are working hand in hand with @WHO Collaborating Centres, including the National Institute of Parasitic Diseases in China and the Swiss Tropical and Public Health Institute, to strengthen local surveillance and accelerate schistosomiasis elimination.
Stronger science collaboration means faster detection, safer communities, and a clearer path to elimination.

What does the world's cleanest air feel like?
Scientists found out firsthand. Here's why having access to clean air isn't a luxury but a health issue. We must protect our climate and clean our air.

🩺 190 million people live with #endometriosis (10% of reproductive-age women). It can cause severe period pain, heavy bleeding, chronic pelvic pain and infertility.
Diagnosis often takes 4–12 years!

Honored to be speaking the 19th May 2026 at the World Health Assembly in #Geneva 🇨🇭
During the World Health Organization and Health Innovation Exchange - HIEx , I will present the HEMARINA technological platform, a breakthrough approach to one of medicine’s most fundamental challenges: oxygen delivery.
From organ transplantation 🫁to wound care🩹, from emergency medicine to global health access, the same limitation persists: oxygen does not reach tissues when and where it is needed.
Our work, inspired by 🌊 marine biology, is built around a unique molecule capable of transporting and delivering oxygen universally — opening new perspectives for healthcare systems worldwide.
This moment is not just about innovation.It is about scale, access, and impact — bringing solutions where infrastructure is limited and needs are greatest.
Proud to represent 🇫🇷 French science on the global stage and to contribute to the collective effort toward #HealthForAll.
