The next step in trying to dismantle Infectious Diseases research - dismantle @niaidnews.bsky.social - should surprise no one that this a R-led proposal. An unmitigated disaster for diagnosis, treatment and prevention of pathogens that affect everyone in the US www.congress.gov/bill/119th-c...

Keith Haring died of AIDS aged 31 on 16 Feb 1990. One of his last works, Unfinished Painting, was deliberately incomplete, reflecting the devastating, unquantifiable loss to the arts due to AIDS. #LGBTplusHistoryMonth

Unreal. The US government is dumping Asian and African families and children in random countries that they have no connection to. Dumping, not "deporting." Deportation implies the return of a person to their home country. This is treating people like toxic waste. www.cbsnews.com/news/us-depo...

To all my colleagues at NIH and CDC: I know that you worked so hard to get the position you had. I know how seriously you took your oath. I'm sorry that we've abandoned you and are willing to just let you go after all your training. I know we'll regret this but I'm afraid that'll come too late.

Being frivolously SLAPPed taught me in vivid detail how money can be leveraged to abuse the courts & people, including scientists like me. www.theguardian.com/science/2023... Given the givens in the US, we desperately need a federal anti-SLAPP statute. Read @kenwhite.bsky.social's great piece.
