@standupforscience.bsky.social supported more than 300 staff at NIH to release a statement urging Director Jayanta Bhattacharya to reject policies that undermine the NIH mission. AAI members can sign an open letter, publicly or anonymously, supporting this statement: ow.ly/Ckwe50W6u6g%...

It won’t necessarily even cover the co-pay/out of pocket costs for the birth/baby’s hospital stay.

Lots of terrible science news these days but I’m going to take a moment to celebrate some good (personal) news: today I successfully defended my dissertation. Excited for whatever is next (hopefully a clinical research role).

A lot of bad things about this obviously, but I’ll point out that these programs were contributing fresh, local, nutritious food in settings where food is often frozen/packaged/highly processed. Seems contradictory to what I’m told are goals of the RFK led HHS.

Executive wants to frame the NIH indirects cut as $4B in savings. But given that NIH returns $2.5 on every $1 investment, this would actually cost US economy a net $6 BILLION (per year!). Not to mention the human costs of wrecking education and research sectors and the communities they serve.
