If you're excited about RFK2 banning a handful of artificial dyes but silent on RFK2 killing food safety inspections and gutting research on cancer, infectious diseases and Alzheimer's, you might not actually be all that interested in public health.

“Science and medicine in the USA are being violently dismembered while the world watches.” The Lancet calls for Kennedy’s resignation. www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

if you’re saying, glad I switched to plant base milk plant-based milk also needs FDA approval

Is it me or does anyone else feel that Harvard was waiting for them to come after them? They seemed too prepared lol

This is why you should’ve been mad at stop and frisk policy. But it was “just” Black, Brown, immigrant etc folks, so you looked away. Now the blueprint’s being used on you. And here we are. www.nbcconnecticut.com/news/local/c...

It’s not just the state of the world that’s been heavy It’s watching the science community meet it with apathy. Academia never built advocates for this moment, instead they shunned And now, as it all falls apart, Black and Brown folks will bear the brunt. www.washingtonpost.com/science/2025...

I want to tell you why the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia should matter to you. The one power you cannot give the executive is the ability to imprison or expel anyone regardless of their legal rights. That is our key check against autocracy. And we are watching it disappear.

www.reuters.com/business/hea... Researchers at the U.S. National Institutes of Health have been told they cannot attend scientific conferences and meetings without official permission, even if they pay their own way and go during time off, three current and former NIH scientists told Reuters.

CNN story on lead poisoning & HHS/CDC's inability to act: Wisconsin asked the CDC for help with lead poisoning cases in Milwaukee but CDC had to cancel because HHS Secretary laid off all the CDC lead poisoning experts! Screenshot below of Ex CDC Director Tom Frieden's '09-'17 comments today #medsky

NEW: Entire scientific fields have been wiped out by the nearly 800 grants cancelled at NIH, finds a @nature.com analysis of the unprecedented cuts. About half of all 2024 NIH projects related to LGBT+ health or vaccine hesitancy — gone. See the other topics and US states hardest hit here:

Anyone who tells you they absolutely can tell you the etiology of a spectrum disorder is selling you snake oil.

What is public health? It's reducing toxins in the water we drink. It's removing lead pipes to protect children from devastating harms of lead poisoning, which disproportionately affect people of color and those from low-income households www.americanprogress.org/article/how-...

She should not have to explain what she already clearly stated months before the election. She didn’t want to placate to society expectations and act like these are normal times

Man we will not be able to afford nothing with this trade war this is nuts !!!

Maternal diabetes, a pregnancy complication that can affect up to a third of women globally, is linked with a higher risk of neurodevelopmental issues in children, a large new study found.

Posted outside Ulta before it opens, the only Black girl in sight, waiting to get cerced like it’s 2003 and my mom just dropped me off with a Just For Me box in my lap. All because I was too lazy to order online. The chokehold! #cerced #beyonce #haircare

Fuller picture of NIH cuts from team at STAT. Including our newest employee @danielpayne.bsky.social What a day to start work 😅 www.statnews.com/2025/04/01/n...

More fallout from federal cuts. Maternal health database at risk. By @aniloza.bsky.social www.statnews.com/2025/04/01/p...

And just like that Democrats lost the momentum For a moment of time And the show then went on

Okay he broke a record but can he make the party rebrand? Can the party take this moment and elevate? Only time will tell…

The fact that Senator Cory Booker can hold a 24-hour+ filibuster against this administration that’s less than 100 days old speaks volumes. Reflect on your vote from November 5.

Someone should be getting ready to takeover

Last Friday, CMS fired the entire office of minority health. The agency that oversees Medicare and Medicaid fired their entire minority health office. Sit with that.

Don’t just Go Cory make sure someone else is ready to replace him… This is your job.

Only thing I know is when Cory sits down someone better be ready to get up after him. This is the moment. Do your job. Stay 👏🏾 on 👏🏾their 👏🏾necks👏🏾

Ohio and Kentucky Ban DEI, Reduce Tenure Protections this is what @booker.senate.gov is filibustering about www.insidehighered.com/news/faculty...

This is what we need from Democrats. @ChrisMurphyCT showing up in the chamber for @CoryBooker’s filibuster is the kind of backbone this moment demands. And let’s be clear—UCONN losing $165 MILLION from NIH cut. That’s not just numbers. That’s lives, research, and futures on the line. #medsky #STEM

I’ve been up listening to @CoryBooker’s filibuster—and the way he’s breaking down the past 70 days? It’s way worse than most folks realize. This moment demands our attention. I have been worried about biomedical research but my worry feels underwhelming as he lays out everything.

I’m in this phase in motherhood where everytime my kid gets sick, then I am sick within 24 hours … its great 😑😑😑

Man this is worst than Watergate.

Crazy was just talking about possibly happening last week at work and how we need to prepare pediatricians to deal with this

Carry yourself with the confidence of a mediocre white man in government who doesn’t really care who’s in his bomb Yemen group chat

HHS's Office of Long COVID Research and Practice has been DOGEd. Closing this week.

Internal documents and former company executives reveal how Cigna doctors reject patients’ claims without opening their files. “We literally click and submit,” one former company doctor said. (Published March 2023 with @capitolforum.bsky.social)

Haven’t posted in a minute—being on call nonstop and trying to keep up with the chaos of the world has me running on empty lol. How are you feeling?

With match day around the corner Check out my podcast episode with STAT News! #medsky #healthpolicy #pedsky

Today on the First Opinion Podcast: Pediatricians are underpaid, struggle to advocate for themselves--and it's contributing to a worrisome shortage. I spoke with @faithdaniellemd.medsky.social and @jared-boyce.bsky.social about it. www.statnews.com/2025/03/19/p...

My first podcast and it's with STAT News! Listen to our thoughts on the shortage of pediatricians @faithdaniellemd.medsky.social

As a pediatric endocrinologist fellow this just makes me angry and sad at the same time.

Was not expecting tears of joy this morning but here we are!

Yeah they can’t convince me that wanting to travel ban Malawi and the other Black nations is NOT related to them supporting BRICS. It’s an intimidation tactic.
