"Thanks for your partnership in this" illegal, unilateral action. WTF?
With midterms coming up, they need someone to approve the Hatch Act violations that are bound to happen.
The reductions in the number of new and competing renewal R01s by topic (based on simple searches in NIH Reporter).
The cuts are across the board: Cancer down 24%, Alzheimer down 45%, Obesity down 29%, Child by 21%.
Transgender was down by 84% but represents only a small number of grants.
Would #idsky please explain to me why viral genome sequencing and a bioinformatics platform are necessary to review our measles elimination status? Aren't confirmed cases sufficient? Thank you.
More than 2000 demonstrators gathered on the National Mall yesterday for a rally organized by the advocacy group Stand Up for Science. Speakers criticized Trump regime policies & called for the ouster of RFKjrπ
The most impt change at #NIH and to US science this year is bigger than grant cancellationsβ itβs how the agency is governed.
For 75 years NIH has been largely independent of presidential control. Thatβs changed this year. New piece from me and @nataliebaviles.bsky.social in @nature.com

Jay Bhattacharya should not have been allowed anywhere near NIH leadership
He has shownβover & overβthat he will impede the careers of early career researchers
He told my Duke colleague, a young post-doc who studies health disparities, that his science was βbadβ
Great new piece by @melodyschreiber.com in The Guardian about NIH/CDC Director Bhattacharya .
In it, I talk about asking Bhattacharya in January about a recent issue affecting the affordability of healthcare for thousands of early career researchers on the NIH campuses.
And Happy International Women's Day to the two most important people in science over the past year, @cdelawalla.bsky.social and @jenna-m-norton.bsky.social.
The Obama Presidential Center is gorgeous!

Reading just the title of a grant is not a scientific evaluation.
Current NIH leadership want you to think they are using rigorous, consistent & scientific processes to screen studies to align them with agency priorities.
But the process that they have put down on paper is a sham.
Itβs important to know NIH is not following its own guidance. Hereβs why:
