I'm truly happy about this because I have been terrified that the entire administration would just ignore court orders. This is a promising sign!!! AND of course I'm super happy for you! 💙

drlaurahaynes.bsky.social•10 days ago

Same!!! This administration is such a disaster, all norms are gone but this is excellent

Keep NIH fully funded. Lives are at stake and some of them are my loved ones.

drlaurahaynes.bsky.social•10 days ago

YES PLEASE!!!

With all due respect, I wouldn't relax just yet. Maybe, in part, relaxing is what got us here in the first place. Thank you for what you do.

DUH. Never should have agreed in the first place with an illegal order from Donnie

What about the executive order to cut the federal workforce by 75%? What will this do to the CDC, FDA, NIH

drlaurahaynes.bsky.social•10 days ago

Who knows?

More organizations need to say it: Executive Funding Freezes Are ILLEGAL

Win for now, but paylines going to be bad.

drlaurahaynes.bsky.social•10 days ago

That’s what I’m worried about😬

oysterboy-redux.bsky.social•10 days ago

Can’t say I blame you but this will happen and will lead to job losses.

oysterboy-redux.bsky.social•10 days ago

Ask older guys in your dept about how bad things got in early 90’s. Paylines in mid single digits for several years. I was postdoc then.

drlaurahaynes.bsky.social•10 days ago

I don’t need to ask older guys…I lived through that

oysterboy-redux.bsky.social•10 days ago

Enough said 👊

satanicpandick.bsky.social•10 days ago

Don't relax. Reload.

csheila.bsky.social•10 days ago

Wait on celebrating until the check clears

merri24.bsky.social•10 days ago

I am not convinced they will resume issuing grants… but I hope I’m wrong and that it happens

So now it will be up to the Supreme Court to uphold the NIH funding at some point in the future. Will they act like republican senators or as ‘real justices?

drlaurahaynes.bsky.social•10 days ago

Unfortunately, no one knows what’s next with this administration

neil-1936.bsky.social•10 days ago

We know it’s never good!

Because of the freeze, Resonance Global in Vermont (https://www.resonanceglobal.com/) cut 76 jobs out of 90 and is owed $3 million by USAID. I doubt they'll ever see that money.

We don't need the NIH. Just drink bleach and stick a lightbulb up your butt...fix anything...according to Dotard Trump. 😁

Vought is funding his daughter's treatment? As long as all others can be treated also.
