A whole generation of early career scientists and physician-scientists, including colleagues and myself, are particularly vulnerable to these funding freezes and cuts, with jobs and careers depending on federal grants. #IDsky #Medsky #Episky www.science.org/content/arti...

He massacred the Pentagon overnight and wants to execute Gen Miley.... At what point is the military going to step up or do we have to do it ourselves? Silence = Compliance It takes all of us doing our part. Get your ass either protesting to calling. #revolution2025 linktr.ee/revolution2025

Clinical trials for the most serious diseases halted. Research grants ended. 1,500 NIH workers fired. All probationary employees fired- these were the brightest, fully trained & vetted, most talented next generation of public servants - fired. This is not ending “waste, fraud or abuse”’

Last night's Pentagon massacre is much more than realized. Not just firing the black CJCS and first woman CNO but all the senior JAG officers and hiring a man who just joined 3 different crypto firms tied to Kushner and Thiel as Chairman. I did a deep dive into it open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

Infuriating! 😡 Don’t Cut My Medicaid! The majority of my son’s medical team are in Austin (1.5 hr drive), some in Houston (3 hrs), one in Dallas (5 hrs). Telehealth appts are needed & necessary! My son has extreme car anxiety, not to mention wear and tear on our car, gas! 🤬 And we’re not alone!
