After a pretty big hiatus on apps like this…Wow I missed you

I knew this was going to happen 🤬

OMG. Unbelievable speed of dismantling science and discrediting scientists…

iwashyna.bsky.social•16 days ago

Unbelievable speed of ATTEMPTS to dismantle science. They tried this 💩 in the first admin, proposing cuts to 10%, and it was resisted by Congress

Call your congresspeople, and remind them they have defended health research before, and they can do so again

Wow, EXACTLY the same thing I say to him!

Oooo, there are so many malign layers to this one.

iwashyna.bsky.social•16 days ago

I am very happy to explain quite simply to any reporter or congress person why this is devastating

Bottom line: there are tons of costs shared between grants not attributable as the direct cost to a single grant, but essential to carrying out research. This removes support for all that

everydog.bsky.social•16 days ago

Sure, that's obvious. The key point to make is that the change is explicitly requiring small, recently founded entities to play by the same rules as the largest and best stocked laboratories in the world. It doesn't smash science completely but it smashes provider diversity.

Like I cannot pay for a computer or library access or internet access in my office on any specific NIH. The ethics reviewers. The folks to submit all the paperwork to the NIH. This will destroy universities, as it is intended to

iwashyna.bsky.social•16 days ago

If this happens, this policy change will prevent discoveries and will result in our children and grandchildren being sicker and dying sooner

Also remind them that the economies of the states they represent are dependent upon the survival of their research universities!

melissaf.bsky.social•16 days ago

Everything they do seems like they’re trying to just kill us off.

coshirle.bsky.social•16 days ago

This is so upsetting. I keep wondering what the plan is for all the unemployed young people who would normally be in college once the universities are destroyed and I don't like the possibilities.

arghavansallesmd.medsky.social•16 days ago

I’m so sad for this country 😔

eliowa.bsky.social•16 days ago

It’s actually bigger. It’s medical schools. The local and state academic medical centers will be crushed. No second opinions, no advanced therapies etc

galesinatra.bsky.social•16 days ago

Well, it’s F off to the researchers and the rest of us who are going to die.

catmilfstudio.bsky.social•16 days ago

They're terrorists.
