Not to mention family members. This makes us appreciate even more those who continue to uphold science, and those who listen and engage us.

Good context. It looks like Lynn Redwood will give the thimerosal presentation today.

All should listen to the last 3 or so minutes of the piece where the cuts to the NIH budget are discussed. #BethesdaDeclaration.

Three and a half months before the end of the fiscal year is a bad time to be making up stuff on the fly, especially with staff cuts.

Shoot - they were in my neighbor while I had to experience another commute from hell down I-270.

People on the inside are trying to bring attention to the damage that has already happened and released the Bethesda Declaration this past week. www.standupforscience.net/bethesda-dec...

This is so embarrassing. Nobody wants to do this.

Amen! NIHers are doing their best, too. Under the circumstances. Oh, and vaccines save lives. www.standupforscience.net/bethesda-dec...

There’s gotta be a joke about a DJ playing “Spem in Alium” at a dance party inspiring the lyric “Hang the DJ.”

I have a PDF of the disappeared notice that I downloaded to feed it into our GenAI program to get a summary. I'm not great at reading bureaucratese. 🙂

My GCP training comes in handy some days.

Wouldn’t withholding an effective vaccine from a control group of volunteers be problematic? Unless one can find a rubber-stamp IRB.

Government documents are generally reviewed by all interested agencies, as well as communications staff. Of course, the various communications people were RIFfed two months ago.

That was great. I can’t shut up, either. 🙂

Where being really old is an advantage. M, M, & R titers tested and are sky-high from my childhood illnesses, got aP added to my last DT vaccines, RSV, shingles, Prevnar-20 taken care of, and still on the Covid vaccine (>65) list. But watching.

And I read those articles and played in the pep band - 1976 road trips to Baltimore (“Cornell Smokes Jays”) and Providence for that year’s championship win against UMD. He recruited from the Brown University marching band for that game.

Yum! Baby back ribs, with dry rub, slow cooked, finished on the grill with a tomato-molasses-based BBQ sauce. No pic, though. Oh, and salad with garden lettuce. Did lots of veggie transplanting in the AM.

It’s funny that the root causes of a lot of illnesses are infectious agents, and that vaccinations can prevent illness!

He’s partly right - *I* don’t trust him.

The success of my tomato plants totally depends on luck and the weather. There’s a lot of “survival of the fittest” between seedling and transplant. The food looks great!

I love growing them. Just set out plants today - a bit late.

Can’t listen. Listening to The War on Drugs and Fleet Foxes and making chicken soup seem like the better choice.

Yes! Former governors or senators generally have some useful and relevant experience. Belief in the agency’s mission and respect for civil servants go a long way.

A lot of what was cut has to do with increasing diversity in the scientific work force, which I guess they’re not committed to. I wish they would use the real terms and not the “scary” acronym.
