They must sue, sue, sue. He is losing lawsuits.

Yep, mine on an eSBIRT intervention to reduce substance use and HIV risk behavior among MSM seeking HIV testing was cancelled.

Would love to do a deeper analysis using sentiment analysis. Is the data easily available?

whitneyepi.bsky.social•8 days ago

Yes, the data are provided (in a PDF, i believe) by the NIH, although it’s not totally comprehensive (time lag?) @jeremymberg.bsky.social and others have converted the PDF into spreadsheets that can be analyzed

This is exceptional. Thank you to you both. My quick analysis this morning. If an amount to be cut was listed as 'pending', I assumed it would be for the full amount. (Disclaimer - Done with AI, and sometimes AI makes mistakes).

I am sorry. But I have worked for a research company that had to down size multiple times but we never just stopped research projects mid stream. There was a plan to finish and collect the data. We had spent millions to that point. We finished them and documented the data

Yes, I totally agree. Halting funding midstream wastes a lot of time and money already invested.

Looks like they're cancelling epidemiology... 😔

Just yesterday I spoke with a lady whose husband had a stroke. She said her husband was on a list for 2 experimental programs for stroke victims. Boom! Both disappeared!
