"Even NIH officers don’t know what will happen next." In our latest @science.org Working Life essay, an assistant professor expresses frustration with stalls at NIH and asks: "Will my grants ever be reviewed?" @vjrp.bsky.social www.science.org/content/arti...

I will be very interested to see what organizations that have already scrubbed/removed DEI content (National Academies, American Society of Microbiology -- see my stories) will do if these orders are deemed to be illegal and violate constitutional rights. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

From a source at NIH, some grants may be nixed because the investigator’s bio sketch mentions DEI-related activities, even if the science itself has nothing to do with it.

It’s important to remind people that RFK Jr. is in charge now. He is the medical establishment. This is all happening under his watch and it’s his job to keep kids safe.

🔑Access to health care is KEY to keeping economic inequality at bay and keeping ourselves and our neighbors safe and healthy. Protect kids. 👧🏻 👦🏽 Protect families. 👩‍❤️‍👨 Protect seniors. 👵🏻 Protect people with disabilities.♿️ Protect Medicaid. ⚕️ Don’t cut my Medicaid! 🚫 #MOMsky

This is huge! No incoming PhD students at a world renowed university that’s crazy!

More PhD programs stopping/slowing admissions. This is going to be a very stressful period for those hoping to enter research careers.

Words such as “health equity” are being replacing with vaguer terms, and 100 members sent a letter of protest to NASEM leaders.

Executive order blames “childhood chronic disease”on “absorption of toxic material, medical treatments, lifestyle, environmental factors, Government policies, food production techniques, electromagnetic radiation, and corporate influence or cronyism.” www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

Love my state! I’m a member of the 92% So no I will not be protesting I did that, November 2024

Unfortunately, I’m not surprised—I asked them directly last year when his name first came up. Their response made it clear where they stood and what they planned to do (or not do). Like many in science, they’re prioritizing self-preservation at all costs.

It's annoying how clearly this is going to play out. They gut the FAA. Therefore, the FAA can't do its job well because it was gutted. Therefore, they say "The FAA sucks, we have to privatize it." which is what Project 2025 wants to do. They're manufacturing the crises for their end goal.

RFK Jr.’s confirmation “is a victory for Trump, and a clear message that Senate Republicans are willing to embrace pseudoscience in their unwavering deference to him. Americans’ health is in Kennedy’s hands.” Nicholas Florko on what happens next: theatln.tc/6bnEa4tQ

Since RFK Jr just got confirmed today, I am taking this chance to share this wonderful @sciam.bsky.social piece on The Staggering Success of Vaccines www.scientificamerican.com/article/see-...

Well, what else is there to say? Could science have done more to stop this? Yes. Did they? No. apple.news/AELEHaBvdTCC...

Sadly I predict the brain drain will start to happen soon

This is controversial, and needs to be said: Being a trainee doesn’t mean someone is a child. The paternalistic culture in Pediatrics is hurting the field. #medsky

So what do my HCW friends think about NYU Langone spending millions of dollars in the Super Bowl for an ad instead of say paying more to their workers or buy new equipment? Good use of resources? 🤔

Hospitals that can afford Super Bowl ads shouldn’t be sending their patients to collections

Still thinking about the NIH, et al.: The largest employment sector in ME, MA, RI, CT, PA, MD, DE, MN, ND, SD, AZ, UT, ID, WA, and AK are hospitals and med centers. In VT, NY, NC, MI, IA, NE, NM, CA, and HI: public universities. For most of the rest of the country it's retail.

A shout-out to my #Yale colleague Jason Stanley's new book. Want to know why #Trump/#Musk are going after universities, whitewashing federal agencies' histories, taking down photos, etc.? This is what fascists do.

A BLACK QB WITH A BLACK WIFE DURING THE FIRST SUNDAY OF BLACK HISTORY MONTH BABY THIS IS AFRICAN AMERICAN SPIRITUALITY ON FULL FUCKIN DISPLAY BITCH

BLACK PEOPLE WON TONIGHT. NO, I WILL NOT BE EXPLAINING.

Three of the four Black quarterbacks that have won Super Bowls are still playing. Old enough to remember when they were still questioning whether Black folks were “cerebral” enough for the position.

Beyoncé won Doechi won Kendrick won Eagles won This the most magical Black History Month in my life

An American flag built on the backs of Black people... Black music protesting white political terror in registers they never hear; reminiscent of ancestral spirituals embedded with instructions for runaways All this in New Orleans... What a moment

Thank God for the Super bowl being Super unapologetically Black tonight it was needed with what’s going on in the world around us.

Philly gonna burn tonight smh 🤦🏾‍♀️ but it’s a good burn 🔥

SO MANY LAYERS. Calling out the hypocrisy of the current political moment. Elevating Black culture, especially BLACK LA. Squid game references. UNCLE SAM (JACKSON) Serena crip walking BLACK GRAND NATIONAL 40 acres and mule KENDRICK BEING UNAPOLOGETICALLY BLACK HAPPENING DURING #BLACKHISTORYMONTH

The moment you realize the playlist for Kendrick’s superbowl was a message to Drake lol 😂 True hater. Will forever be in the books

My new meme…

Kendrick said SUE ME lol 😂

The Diss was worst! LOL 😂 He should have just let him played the song.

Is it me or these super bowl commercials aren’t hitting like they use to?

Love how this Super bowl is Super … Louisiana Black 😭😭😭

Shout out to my Senator… out here doing the work !

It’s so interesting too because the shoeshiners in academia think that by staying quiet and not speaking out, they can protect themselves too. Y’all will be jobless by summer at the latest when that $9 BILLION of NIH money he is cutting off (illegally by the way since Congress controls that) stops

This Super Bowl Sunday, here's a reminder of what real courage looks like.
