A #fridayfollow. The assaults on reason & science continue by the administration. It's exhausting. Here are a few scientists whose work you should know about. Please feel free to add: @nathanlo.bsky.social @drelleneaton.bsky.social @emmybetz.bsky.social Each is doing lifesaving & innovative work.

This is a disaster for global public health. I think moving to a model where the IC funds directly could be a not-bad thing, esp if it allows for capacity building re: admin for NIH grants and empowering institutions to lead them, but destroying everything first is not how you achieve that.

BREAKING: NSF has frozen all grant funding, as of yesterday. It's unclear when they will resume funding awards, or why the pause has been put in place. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

1/n I don’t understand the new Dept HHS assertion that childhood vaccines weren’t tested in placebo-controlled trials. That’s simply not true. I did a quick (non-exhaustive) PubMed search and they came up pretty quickly. For example here’s MMR

I received a surprising and disturbing request from NIH on Friday. They wrote to cancel a subaward to Hong Kong on one of my grants. (This was disturbing but not surprising.) They also ordered us not to interact with our collaborators in Hong Kong on any work under the award:

This is excellent, incredibly timely and important. Thanks @nathanlo.bsky.social and team for this work and for sharing it in this detailed thread. We can't afford to roll back the incredible gains made in the control of infectious diseases by allowing sustained declines in vaccination.

If they proceed with this plan, it will effectively choke whatever life is left out of the health research academic community. To put it bluntly it will kill any possibility of a grant funded career doing health research in the U.S. www.statnews.com/2025/04/21/t...
