This whole executive order is so awful with open efforts to institutionalize houseless folx. And this blatant effort to kill SAMHSA funding for harm reduction prevention and intervention efforts in it is also infuriating.

Harm reduction saves lives, and itโ€™s evidence-based. Period. Full stop.

๐Ÿšจ URGENT RESPONSE CALL ๐Ÿšจ

Trumpโ€™s Foolโ€™s Gold Science EO is a dangerous sham.
It gives his appointees the power to dismiss entire bodies of research and punish researchers who fail to fall in line with his agenda.

Weโ€™ve launched an open letter.

two figures demonstrating that high momentary negative affect and low trait positive affect, respectively, strengthen the association between drinking and subsequent problems

Our newest pub is out! Here, we used EMA to examine the moment-to-moment association between drinking and subsequent problems, and if emotional functioning changed the strength of this prospective relationship among a hazardous drinking sample of young adults. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/share/author...

Exclusive: NSF stops awarding new grants and funding existing ones US science funder also plans to screen grant applications for compliance with โ€˜agency prioritiesโ€™.

๐Ÿ””BREAKING๐Ÿ””

The NSF has frozen all research grant awardsโ€”cutting off life-saving science midstream and demanding ideological screenings for future funding.

This is censorship disguised as oversight.

CDC Reports Nearly 24% Decline in U.S. Drug Overdose Deaths New provisional data from CDCโ€™s National Vital Statistics System predict a 24% decline in overdose

From 2023 to 2024, drug overdose deaths dropped a stunning 24% in just a year from 114k, to just 87k, nearly 30,000 lives. This is almost entirely attributed to a Biden Administration program providing free Narcan.

Naturally, Trump and RFK Jr. just ended the program: www.cdc.gov/media/releas...
