Judge Angel Kelley exercised common sense in her #NIH funding cut verdict, a big win for the research community. However, as I feared, this administration is maneuvering #SCOTUS for a final ruling in their favor. Today’s victory will undoubtedly be short-lived. #USPol #AcademicFreedom #ResearchSky

In case you follow me @X, my account was HACKED and someone is impersonating me selling bitcoin (and who knows what else to come). Beyond that, all attempts to contact X to rectify the matter go nowhere. If you have an account there, and get the chance, please post so people will know. Thanks!

I'm confident that the school that isn't saying a peep as one of its faculty destroys the NIH will take an aggressive moral stance in response to this injustice.

One thing about today's tariff shitshow is that congress could undo all this nonsense tonight and the damage would still be huge, because these actions have decisively signaled that the US is an unreliable international trading partner—and this impacts political and economic strategy worldwide.

Hard to watch: @newsweek.com posted footage of masked ICE agents arresting 50-year-old grandmother Angela Gonzalez, who'd been here since she was 11. She had a pending VAWA application, but other than that, had no options for a green card since she got here too late for the Reagan amnesty.

These cuts are a recipe for more illness, higher healthcare costs, and less information for people to make decisions about their own health. They're a recipe for disaster.

Massive cuts to programs that prevent disease would make Americans sicker. Cutting things isn’t likely to improve them. Actually improving takes expertise and investment.

RFK Jr. gutted the CDC, an anti-vaxxer, and a science denier. He is a disgrace to the Kennedy name and our country. His destruction will cause insurmountable unnecessary deaths.

Today’s firings at NIH/CDC/AHRQ represent billionaires doing to US science and universities the same thing they did to US manufacturing in the 1980's: senseless destruction of massive amounts of capability and expertise in the name of short-term 'efficiency' that leads to long-term off-shoring.

Hereditary transthyretin amyloidosis with polyneuropathy is caused by mutations in the TTR gene. Chao et al. show that mutant TTR disrupts the blood–nerve barrier, leading to infiltration of inflammatory macrophages and nerve degeneration. https://buff.ly/3WQEfpB
