⛔ NIH ended ALL of my grants mid-project, given LGBTQ health focus 🏳️‍🌈 ⚖️ So what am I doing? Suing RFK, Jr. As one team member shared in this story👇: "The threats to our work don’t just make me fear for my career — they make me fear for my safety.“ #SaveDemocracy #SupportScience #PublicHealth

A truly remarkable resignation letter from a physician who was the chief medical officer in an institute within NIH, published in a medical journal. Containing also some proposals for what science culture and organization should do now. www.atsjournals.org/doi/10.1513/...

Great cover of our new study!

Latest from Strong Medicine: youtu.be/i2cFRVb7lzM The tl;dr: - Some of what was done was not consistent with guidelines. - Some of the reported data seems suspicious. - The gist of the report - Trump is *physically* "fit for duty" -seems likely accurate. (Cognitively fit is another question...)

I really hope the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions hears about this before voting on her nomination! I can't imagine Drs. Paul, Cassidy & Marshall supporting another doctor who lies about her own credentials. @chrismurphyct.bsky.social @kaine.senate.gov @kim.senate.gov

There are plenty of diseases that we could virtually or even literally eradicate if society had the collective willpower. The limiting factor to curing most disease is not computing power, it's inequity and indifference. Does AI have a solution for those?

The person filming this video isn't just some random crazy person. She's a sitting Republican Congresswoman. In a sane world this video would be the end of her political career. Instead, she thinks she is so justified in her unhinged treatment of this constituent that she posted the video herself.

Is the consensus among mainstream journalists that the White House slandering a man they delivered into slavery using a crudely manipulated photo in the president’s grasp in the Oval Office is just not a very newsworthy event?

Meanwhile, DOJ lawyers are threatening medical journals for not providing adequate "viewpoint diversity" and for misinforming their readership, which I suppose means not publishing enough of the stupid shit that RFK Jr., JB, etc. keep saying. This is an outrageous First Amendment violation.

The strongest evidence yet (albeit, far from definitive) for life outside Earth. Coincidentally, I took my kids to an IMAX film last week discussing this project (i.e. the James Webb Space Telescope looking for signs of life on exoplanets). www.npr.org/2025/04/16/n...

Hassouna & most of her family were killed 1 day after a documentary featuring her photojournalism work in Gaza was chosen to be shown at Cannes. I'd say this was an assassination, but there are so many innocent Palestinians dying that coincidence is plausible too. deadline.com/2025/04/gaza...

Stanford faculty, staff, and alumni urging the university to stand up to Trump. Proud to be part of the group organizing this letter stanforddaily.com/2025/04/16/o...

I'm very skeptical of the impact of online petitions but the Internet Archive is *extremely* important and signing is quick and easy, so why not click a button to try to help save it?

It is truly phenomenal how RFK Jr has talked about autism for decades, yet clearly understands literally nothing about it. I've never seen a more dramatic example of someone who believes they are an expert on a topic while having such a profound lack of expertise.

RFK Jr says he wants to go after ultra processed foods. The nation's leading expert on the topic has just quit NIH, saying he was being censored. @alicecallahan.bsky.social has the scoop: www.nytimes.com/2025/04/16/w...

In the absence of proof of life, it's likely that Abrego Garcia is dead (or horrifically incapacitated). Trump, Vance, Bondi, Noem, Rubio & Miller are all hoping that if they stall long enough, we'll eventually forget who he was. I don't say this lightly: These people are evil personified.

This is so heartbreaking and makes nothing better and no one safer. It is the punitive act of an administration that values fealty over human health.

Bone chilling. A court ordered Kilmar Abrego Garcia to stay in the United States. The Supreme Court ruled 9-0 that he was illegally removed. Trump is pretending he won the ruling 9-0. 1/ You may not think this case means anything to you. But let me tell you why it does.
