I talked to NIH officials, current and former, about what's been happening inside the agency since the Trump administration shut down their grantmaking pipeline in January. Their stories showed just how willing our new leaders are to break the law: www.theatlantic.com/health/archi...

So - I've actually led Ebola outbreak response at USAID. This is bunk from Elon. They have laid off most of the experts, they're bankrupting most of the partner orgs, have withdrawn from WHO, and muzzled CDC. What's left is a fig-leaf effort to cover their asses politically.

I’m no longer following The Washington Post here. Are you still following WaPo after yesterday’s news that the Opinions page will focus on stuff like the free market ethos and viewpoint diversity?

At STAT, we're following ways universities are being pressured to disavow and dismantle DEI activities in order to receive federal funding. I'd like to hear what's happening at your university or nonprofit. Can be confidential. Signal: usha.22 www.statnews.com/2025/01/30/t...

New mandate. Not even a nod to race in any student, academic, or campus activities for universities, community colleges, K-12 schools with any federal funding. And an unreasonable deadline of two weeks to comply. So much wrong with this, now and for our future. #Education #AcademicFreedom #equity

McMahon tells Congress she’ll return with plan to close Dept of Education, but DOGE will hobble it first with layoffs and program cuts so it seems necessary to close. Also, she’s not sure whether an African American history course violates new anti-DEIA policy but will try to figure that out. 😳

The anti-DEIA movement just got more bonkers. Missouri’s Attorney General wants his coffee prepared and served by a white man because he thinks he’ll get his coffee faster. Seriously?!!

This is enormously concerning for the future, especially in relation to health and healthcare, energy, and climate and disaster research. Download the 5 Calls app and let your congressional reps know you want the US to keep leading science research.

This cut will DEVASTATE the quality of our healthcare, increase cost for care, and stifle future improvement in care. Indirect cost-sharing is necessary for medical centers and universities to conduct research. 1/5 #science #medicine #highered www.science.org/content/arti...

For reference, federal funding for scientific research generates over $5B in economic activity in North Carolina (FY2023, UMR). The state’s healthcare industry has over $100B in economic impact (FY2018, NC DHHS). RTP is the largest hub of science & tech in the US, incl. NIEHS, EPA, & >300 companies.

One of the most important things about govt-funded work is that it belongs to all of us. CDC health data, NASA info about space, NIH and NSF research findings—it’s ours collectively. Until now. The president is taking from us what belongs to us. #StopTheDataSteal
