mRNA vaccines are the biggest recent/current medical breakthrough/moonshot for ALL diseases, not just viral infections. There could very well be (more) vaccines to prevent & treat cancer (eg pancreatic & melanoma!), malaria, HIV, genetic conditions, & things like CMV that cause untold disease burden

ICONIC: Yosemite National Park workers just hung an upside-down American flag—THOUSANDS of feet up on El Capitan. That’s not decoration. That’s a distress signal. They’re telling us the country is in danger. Are you paying attention? www.sfchronicle.com/outdoors/art...

I will say this again and again MAKING CUTS TO THE BUDGET IS EASY IF YOU DO NOT CARE ABOUT THE CONSEQUENCES. Ending funding for road repair saves money right away…the regrets come later. That is what is happening here…except with diseases. open.substack.com/pub/insideme...

Executive wants to frame the NIH indirects cut as $4B in savings. But given that NIH returns $2.5 on every $1 investment, this would actually cost US economy a net $6 BILLION (per year!). Not to mention the human costs of wrecking education and research sectors and the communities they serve.

Somewhere in the U.S., there’s a scientist staring at their NSF/NIH grant application wondering why they bother. This post is for you. Science and society both need you. Hang in there and know there is a whole community supporting you.

While the two are doubtless completely unrelated, the conjunction of an air safety tragedy and an assault on the administrative state—from freezing funding to deferred retirement offers—may well focus public attention on the necessity of competent government.

Trump attempts to freeze $3 trillion in federal grants. If this goes through, the nuclear blast radius will be huge—Suicide hot line, domestic violence shelters, cancer survivors. Time to see how strong our checks and balances are. Congress, universities and governors, it’s beyond time to engage

If you're as baffled by differences between #PharmEd and pharmacy practice as I've been, this is a great conversation starter. @aacpharmacy.bsky.social Do we need better alignment between what pharmacists do, what employers say they want, and what pharmacy schools teach? www.ajpe.org/article/S000...
