Anyone at all familiar with NIH grants knows a 15% indirect cost rate is unsustainable unless you plan to conduct your research at home in your garage. This is either a product of malice toward medical science or incredible stupidity. apple.news/A27QFcdb3R5S...

Well, the news dump for NIH this weekend was a Saturday evening news dump. We are hearing about scores of talented scientists and staff being fired via email tonight.

Got word that several NIH employees in a group working on cancer clinical trials got terminated via email this evening. “The [cancer research] trials will literally not be able to function without us.” Trump and Musk are killing cancer research. 🧪

bsky.app/profile/mcop... Hey, @doctortox.bsky.social, you and other leaders in research need to take a stand…especially you retired docs because you’ve got nothing to lose! WE HAVE TO FIGHT FOR SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH or there won’t be ANY and our systems will all be broken, gone.

The hearing yesterday did not fully convey how bonkers Robert F. Kennedy Jr. can be. There can be more of that. See this piece. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Bernie Sanders was less than impressed with RFK Jr. responding "I don't know" when pressed on whether the COVID vaccine saved lives.
