  1. Vaccines teach our immune system to recognise and fight specific germs—no infection needed. 🌱

    - They’re rigorously tested for safety.
    - Different formats exist (live‑attenuated, mRNA, protein subunit, etc.).
    - Widespread immunisation cuts disease spread, protects the vulnerable, and eases strain on health systems.

  2. With the rise in misinformation, hate, & harassment on social media, I'm upping my "take a beat" strategy.

    Studies consistently show that pausing, even for a moment, can help slow spread of bunk (see nature.com/articles/s41586-021 & misinforeview.hks.harvard.edu/).

    Most people want to be accurate. A nudge in that direction can make a difference.
