officeofbudget.od.nih.gov/pdfs/FY26/in... Hard to believe that the combined NINDS, NIDCR and NEI would be able to maintain existing grants with this level of funding. Of course, this is just a proposal, so write your Senators!

I can't overemphasize how bizarre and embarrassing this is for the head of our FDA to be repeating podcaster talking points about seed oils and flagrantly demonstrating that he doesn't know anything about evidence analysis or human nutrient requirements.

This has been our fundamental problem since the birth of online news. Citizens cannot differentiate between sourced, edited, fact checked journalism, an op Ed, a blog, a talk show, a shitpost or a podcast. Democracy depends on a free press. It's right there on the Constitution.

"We're going to pay for this not just in lives and children's lives right now, we're going to pay for this for a century." I honestly don't know how long it will take for science to recover from this administration and it makes me so sad. #SaveOurScience

BREAKING: The Supreme Court says straight people can now sue to prevent LGBTQ people from being hired. This ruling opens the door for White people doing the same to Black & brown folks and allows the MAGA regime to continue reversing civil rights progress. Learn more about how we can take action ➡️

Elon Musk getting in a little snit and threatening to pull the rockets essential to supplying the humans on the International Space Station is why the government should NOT award him critical contracts, like SpaceLink proving Internet access in war/disasters.

worth remembering that when Trump announced a travel ban in 2017, people literally went to airports to protest. Eight years later, Trump announces a new one and it's not even front page news. We're the frogs and the water is getting awfully hot.

The through line between this, lab leak, tariffs, attacks on immigrants, the ongoing genocide, MAHA, transphobia, and Cuomo invoking non-existent defunding of police is a national media that treats falsehood equally valuable as truth. We live in an era of accepted false narratives.

I've seen folks talk about how "in four years" they'll be able to get back to their planned projects and I really don't think that's going to work out. People & projects losing funding now will not be able to hit pause and come back once funding is restored. Hard-won progress & capacity will be lost

I worry that not enough of a big deal is being made about how long-term the devastation of these budget cuts to our scientific and health agencies will be, beyond the absolute ruin they will cause in the acute period.

Reviewing NIH grant proposals and am struck (and inspired) by all the brilliant, creative science going on right now. Set against the current political landscape and proposed funding cuts to scientific research, it is clear that we are really screwing ourselves over.

Researcher Amita Gupta has spent more than a decade planning and running a $70-million trial to study a new tuberculosis drug, enrolling ~6,000 participants in 13 countries. It might all have been for nothing. That's because a new NIH policy has abruptly cut off billions to trials abroad. 🧪
