Senator John Kennedy from Louisiana is not a serious person. He frequently cites "yachts" and "expensive houses" in discussing indirect costs. He is referring to a scandal at Stanford when they were charge depreciation of a yacht and the President's mansion. en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Profess... 1/3

I agree with Dr. Bhattacharya about something. He said that he was "fully committed" to various health research goals >10 time during the hearing but defended his administration's actions as helping further these goals. If he is crazy enough to truly believe that, then he should be fully committed.

Watching the Bhattacharya hearing... Senator Murray mentioned the #BethesdaDeclaration letter and said that she assumed that there would be no retribution.

My quote of the day At times our own light goes out and is rekindled by a spark from another person. Each of us has cause to think with deep gratitude of those who have lighted the flame within us. Albert Schweitzer

AI is absolutely going to change everything. But AI will not be smarter than humans in 5 years, and humans will not be colonizing the galaxy in 5 years. Demis Hassabis should know better than to say nonsense like this. Come on, man…

Glad to see some scientific society leadership stepping up to endorse the #BethesdaDeclaration

A 🧵 from some of the #BethesdaDeclaration authors

I urge others to similarly support our patriots at NIH who use their training and talents to improve human health and position the US as the world’s leader in biomedical discovery, innovation and technology development 🙏

BREAKING: Over 300 NIH workers have signed The Bethesda Declaration and delivered it to Director Bhattacharya accusing him and the admin of putting “political momentum over human safety and faithful stewardship of public resources” and demanding changes. www.importantcontext.news/p/nih-worker...

I'm a dual citizen and a product of the US scientific training mechanism - I am proud to be a signatory on this letter supporting my colleagues and friends at NIH, and denouncing the wholesale destruction of the US health science environment.

“You can get a other job, but you cannot get another soul”.

Kudos to the brave NIH staff who show up for work every day. Who decided to speak truth to power even as their jobs could be at stake. I signed. We can get the number of signers up to the millions to show that we care about the future of NIH and research in this country.
