“It’s amazing that others in this room underwrote electing a man who, in the last week, single-handedly destroyed all of American science. It’s amazing how much good science you can destroy with $320 million and RFK Jr, very fast.” — Seth Rogen’s censored remarks presenting the Breakthrough Prize

We are hearing dozens of stories of senior biomedical scientists who are packing in their research and looking to leave science. Not an exaggeration. And it’s coming from all over the country. Trump has detonated a nuclear bomb in US research into cures for diseases like cancer.

The mass layoff of federal employees wiped out key public health data programs—tracking everything from STIs to cancer. Experts warn we’re flying blind. No plans to preserve the data, no one to carry the work forward. This isn’t transparency. www.politico.com/news/2025/04...

I was listening to the excellent interview with President Eisgruber from Princeton on The Daily podcast. Some key points: Interviewer: You said “Once you make concessions once, it’s hard not to make them again.” So I’d like to know, did what Columbia did make your job harder…?” 1/n

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die. Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.
