Note that this groundbreaking discovery made at @stanfordmedicine.bsky.social was made possible by no fewer than six NIH grants. There is enormous public value that comes from government-supported research. med.stanford.edu/news/all-new...

Study finds women in prison are 4x as likely to have been raped & 10x as likely to have been raped as a child than non-incarcerated. Being victimized by sexual violence can influence the entire trajectory of one's life. www.colorado.edu/today/2025/0...

NIH funding for research with international partners is about to be suspended. I believe it was just yesterday that I posted about a huge, critical study that showed that one HPV shot is as good as two. The study was funded by the NIH…and was done in Costa Rica. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

How much is $79.52 billion? 1. The Washington, D.C. area Metro subway has 128 miles of track. At a reasonable estimate of $625m/ mile, you could build it all over again. 2. The Biden admin estimated that universal childcare would cost $22.5b/ year—so, 3 1/2 years of childcare for working parents.

A citizen cannot, by definition, be deported. This 2-year-old child was forcibly removed from the country by US officials and sent to Honduras. In a clear violation of the Constitution. And without any consideration of either law or human decency.

You can’t call a policy “pro-family” if it pushes parenthood without support. Fellow @jessicacalarco.bsky.social explains in @newrepublic.com how promoting motherhood without childcare, paid leave, or health care makes families more vulnerable. newrepublic.com/article/1943...

I was on a NASEM committee that received a stop work order earlier this week. It happened as the meeting was about to begin—and after flying everybody out. It was bizarre. You've got a dozen excited experts who are literally not allowed to take money for the work. This isn't a cost-saving action.

Excited to see this effort getting more traction, and we can't wait for the outcome!! Just a note to everyone -- Data rescues are not "stealing" data. U.S. federal data is in the public domain for all to use, reuse, and re-package. So ... Have at it. IT IS YOUR #DATA! It is the people's data!

🚨 Practical URGENT tip for NSF grantees: Out of an abundance of caution, I would right now go into Research.gov and… 1. Download your NSF award letters. 2. Print PDF your annual reports. 3. Screenshot the status table for annual reports. NSF is planning maintenance tomorrow to Research.gov
