Yet another disastrous decision for brilliant scientists, U.S. scientific leadership, our economy, our federal budget, and ... hundreds of millions of people in this country and around the world whose road to life-improving or life-saving treatments is being made longer and less certain.

Any talk you hear from the current administration about making the US more competitive in science and technology is utter bullshit. What they are doing is sabotaging our country for years if not decades to come.

Amidst the "amyloid mafia" debate, Sarah Ackley chimes in with a concrete proposal that would very quickly deliver better evidence on how to treat Alzheimer's disease and the promise of anti-amyloid therapies: the companies should share the data for combined, individual-level analyses.

Gift link. A small unelected, secretive crew now has free access to sensitive private data of everyone. And Musk is already publicly targeting family members of judges who rule against the administration. If this isn’t ringing alarm bells, I don’t know what would. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/o...

It matters that scientists speak out against what is being done to US science. Staying silent is neither "objective" nor "staying out of politics". Silence now is political - it supports the status quo, says "nothing to worry about". We need to sound the alarm. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Scientists of the world, this is happening on our watch and we need to face it down. Evidence-based medicine weaponised for overtly ideological purposes. We do not need randomised trials of 'vaccine' versus 'no vaccine' when those vaccines have already been shown to be safe & effective. #episky 🧪
