Those of us who have gotten scrub in requests during his tenure to get our NOAs certainly aren’t making it up!

Science is under attack in the US.
And no, we don't just mean trans research as Trump keeps saying. We mean cancer research, Alzheimer's research, vaccine research, and all those other things that improve health and longevity.

Absolutely this 👇

Hello. I live in Los Angeles. The president is lying.

Important thing to beat people over the head with: Trump has turned American cities into warzones and for fucking what? Prices are way up, jobs will be way down, the dollar is worth less, and now the highway is blocked off by cops. Maybe the Great Mythical Immigrant wasn’t the problem after all.

Compelling piece about Alzheimer's disease funding.

Thanks so much to @jeremymberg.bsky.social for helping us bring attention to the impact of funding delays within our ADRC networks. Wish my first NYT quote could have been something related to cool science but these are times we live in!

I’ve spent most of the day reviewing grants for NIH study section and I’m not gonna lie…feeling pretty demoralized. My own grants are in limbo, including a non competing NoA for the next year of funding that was supposed to start today and is still pending. Sigh.

JAMA Insights: More than 30% of US adults have low health literacy, which affects their ability to understand and use health information, necessitating improved communication strategies from clinicians and health care systems.

Could someone explain to me how to do this fraud? We spent 20k out of pocket while having our Autistic kids be denied SEVENTEEN times, now we reapply every year to ensure that they haven’t been “cured”. Some fraud sure would have saved me a lot of time.

This is the absolute best million dollar idea I have ever heard, we should go into business together. Especially since it’s looking like we may need a career backup 😂

Since 2022, my colleagues and I have been targeted by political attacks. Early on, we worried that political actors would specifically target our projects & universities for defunding. But in the end, they came after everyone. The strategy of keeping heads down was never the right one.

"Women are PIs on 58% of the canceled grants, although they are PIs on only 34% of all active NSF grants.

Similarly, Blacks are PIs on 17% of the terminated grants, although they make only 4% of the total pool. Hispanic PIs and those with disabilities were twice as likely to lose a grant."

This effing guy

In my opinion, the U.S. is facing a greater public health threat from Robert WTF Kennedy Jr. than we do from COVID19.

He has the power to undermine *all* vaccinations in the U.S. and therefore the world.

It’s hard to fully take this on board when Congress idly sits by, courting disaster.

I'm 70ish and doing the same! READ don't BURN!🔥

The lead story on 60 Minutes tonight is about NIH and concerns about damage done and continuing during the current administration.

Yall be careful!!! You can always come here!

A screengrab from Twitter. HeatherLhaney @heather_l... asks: “Why do you think we have so many more kids with Autism” David Dennis Jr. @DavidDTSS quotetweets this reply: “Probably for the same reason there are so many more planets in outer space now than there were before the telescope was invented”

Staple this to RFK Jr’s forehead.

To talk about children with autism like this - like they are irreparably damaged and a burden to society - is ignorant, mean and callous.

This man simply has no idea what he’s talking about. He brings shame to America.

I literally was just talking to a close friend who is a DS mom and we were discussing exactly this. It’s going to be interesting to watch them turn themselves in knots to support the abortions that eugenics requires 😡😡😡😡😡😡

Thank you @peterhotezmdphd.bsky.social for these important words. I am the parent to two Autistic children. I don’t know what they will be yet, but I do know their lives are worth living without a “cure”, they are brilliant and kind. More than I can say for any member of the current administration.

Pouring out a little liquor today for the handful of women astronauts who survived years of onerous training, men, and men only to have the press make Katy Perry their equal.
