This morning, courageous NIH workers shared a document they are calling the “Bethesda Declaration” with Dr. Bhattacharya, urging him to reverse some of the actions that are badly misaligned with progress toward the NIH mission.

WHEN: Wednesday, March 26, 2025, 2:30pm EST WHERE: SD-106, Livestream available here WHO: U.S. Senators Dr. Monica Bertagnolli, M.D., former Director of the NIH Dr. Sterling Johnson, PhD, University of Wisconsin-Madison Professor and Associate Director of Wisconsin Alzheimer's Disease Research Center Dr. Whitney Wharton, PhD, Emory University Associate Professor and Alzheimer’s Disease researcher Dr. Larry Saltzman, M.D., retired physician living with leukemia and former Executive Research Director for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society Mr. Jessy Ybarra, veteran living with ALS and Board of Trustees member for the ALS Association “As Donald Trump and Elon Musk claim they want to ‘Make America Healthy Again,’ they are halting lifesaving research that gives Americans battling Alzheimer’s disease and cancer hope every day that they have a fighting chance at getting better,” said Senator Baldwin.
Roundtable this Wed at the US Senate, on how Trump and Musk are killing research like cancer and Alzheimer’s research.
2:30pm Eastern. There is a livestream.
This would be better in primetime and produced for TV, like the Jan 6 Committee did.
But it’s a good start from @baldwin.senate.gov.
Got my dashboard a bit (more) organized. Ready to update and add more content.

This makes my blood boil. What kind of person says they are against access to public education for kids with disabilities?
Nothing will kill more children than the ongoing decimation of CDC, NIH, and USAID work to lift vaccine uptake in the US and world.
Child survival rose 75% in the last 50 years. Vaccines account for 40% of that. Measles vax alone was 60% of the benefit. www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...
The Trump administration’s orders have created more turmoil and damage at the National Institutes of Health than was previously known.
Looking forward to standing up for science next Friday. Hope to see you there!
Check out our new article!
We need more of this.
A useful tool and a great thing to do...

Musk reportedly spent $40M on #Superbowl ads calling #USAID wasteful.
Here's how we would've spent that $$:
Purchased HIV treatment from U.S. pharma companies to keep 1M pp alive for 1 year.
Tell Congress to youtu.be/PqUESHfu0 #saveforeignaid and #standwithUSAID
A clear summary of what indirect costs cover and why a 15% cap will devastate universities: www.kateringland.com/the-hidden-b...
1. Today the NIH director issued a new directive slashing overhead rates to 15%.
I want to provide some context on what that means and why it matters.
grants.nih.gov/grants/guide...
Supplemental Guidance to the 2024 NIH Grants Policy Statement: Indirect Cost Rates Notice Number: NOT-OD-25-068 Key Dates Release Date: February 7, 2025 Related Announcements None Issued by Office of The Director, National Institutes of Health (OD) Purpose
🚨RED ALERT for 🧪:
The Trump NIH just gashed indirect costs. This is a direct attack on universities.
“Pursuant to this Supplemental Guidance, there will be a standard rate of 15% across all NIH grants for indirect costs.” 😮
Just a devastating Friday night news dump. #scicomm #academicaky
Ughhhhhhhh! So sorry!!!
