All 4 of my NIH research grants are terminated. These were grants on MDR-TB treatment & strategies for supporting adolescents living w/ HIV. This is a massive waste of resources. I am heartbroken for my Harvard team, my partners in Peru, the next generation of scientists & our country. Shame.

When neo nazis chanting 'jews will not replace us' are protected by the 1st amendment, and Jewish students protesting genocide in Gaza are arrested, it's not antisemitism that is the problem.
