Some personal news: I have resigned from Boston University as of this week. Those of you that have been following me for a while will know I have been having some health issues—I have resigned to focus on recovery. I’ve also started a newsletter (epiellie.substack.com), so please follow me there.

Everybody (me included) is getting bogged down on the details of events at NIH et al. Fatal mistake. The big picture is Musk/Trump are trying to shut down all gov-funded Medical/Disease research in the US. Have to understand that to have any hope of stopping it. talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/act-now

A team of volunteer archivists has recreated the Centers for Disease Control website, called RestoredCDC.org, as it appeared the day President Trump was inaugurated. "I felt that we could restore any data sets that people might not have access to anymore because these were publicly funded data."

What’s happening with the US government reminds me of this story (great book btw): Libertarians took over a town in NH in 2004 and gutted its services, cut taxes, etc. Less than 8 yrs later things had gotten so bad that black bears were breaking into homes and killing people for the first time ever.

#Canadians are preparing to create a retail blackout on Feb 28 of all U.S retailers doing business there. For one day, they will show them the power when provoked. Absolutely no purchases from Walmart, Home Depot, Best Buy, Amazon, McDonald’s, Staples, Gap or any other US retailers. Join them!!

A sincere thank you to American friends and colleagues who have apologised for djt’s recent aggression towards 🇨🇦. We know it does not reflect the sentiments of most of 🇺🇸, and it helps a lot to hear it.

What gets me about these pauses in funding is that they are not something that can simply be reversed by the courts and everything goes back to normal right away. If I stop watering my houseplants, they will die within weeks. It won’t help if I start watering a dead plant again a month later.

"To condone policies that the profession knows will compromise health—or to remain silent and look away—is to be complicit in putting population health at risk" To every university, every public hospital, every academic society: SILENCE IS NOT AN OPTION. #medsky

I feel like people should be more aware that documentation in their “medical record,” no matter how new or expensive an EMR or how hard their clinician tries, has been designed for insurance billing instead of for a legible record of a person’s medical needs, and how often that impedes patient care

It is beyond infuriating that articles that come from government funded research, for example the WHI, are behind a paywall. I already paid through my taxes.

Ann Telnaes resigned after the Washington Post editorial page killed her cartoon. It’s worth a share. Big Tech executives are bending the knee to Donald Trump and it’s no surprise why: Billionaires like Jeff Bezos like paying a lower tax rate than a public school teacher.
