Before I joined @propublica.org, I spent five years working in population research. Many of my former colleagues were funded through NIH grants. Some of those grants have been terminated. Would appreciate you sharing this with your colleagues and groups.

Today I lost an NIH grant training clinicians to do research about intimate partner violence with perinatal women. More women are murdered in the perinatal period than die of obstetric complications. I didn't just lose a grant. We lost an entire cohort of people building careers to prevent that.

The coolest thing I’ve seen today is that a bunch of volunteer public health professionals and developers have restored the CDC website from before January 20th 2025. This differs from an archive in that they want to rebuild the links between pages and replicate the full website.

For decades, fairness has been the guiding principle of the American organ transplant system. But today, nearly 20% of the time, officials ignore strict rules meant to ensure that donated organs are offered to the patients who need them most, a New York Times investigation found. nyti.ms/3XlqVK1

Our workflow for data rescues includes Data Lumos because we know that the data is going to a long standing data archive. We don’t want data to be lost so we focus on sending it there (& we’ve sent them a lot). Thanks for not hating us @icpsr.bsky.social
