Calling medical journals "corrupt," Kennedy says gov't scientists may be barred from publishing in Lancet, NEJM, etc going forward. #NIH may establish its own journals, he said. Meanwhile #CDC 's Emerging Infectious Diseases journal is on the budget chopping block. www.statnews.com/2025/05/27/r...

All the gratitude -- - to scientists who've reported their grants to grant-watch.us. Your willingness to share matters & has made a difference. - to @aniloza.bsky.social for this article and many others that document the destruction of American science. - to @noamross.net as the perfect teammate.
