So what is the future for federal surveys? Will they be crazy stupid and announce you can’t oversample on race or crazy assholes and announce you can’t measure race… (France doesn’t allow race to be measured). Anyone have a crystal ball?

Would love to hear from anyone talking with their state about continuing their PRAMS in some way without CDC.

“Data underpins our work in public health…A blanket suppression of terms does not change the underlying reality that gender and sexuality impact health…To excise such language is not just an act of censorship. It is an act of medical negligence.”

I would like to think this is because of concerns about declining response rates, but i know better. It’s part of an active policy of cultivated ignorance to repress policy change.

Has anyone seen the new list of forbidden words at NIH? Sounds like they are different than NSF with a broader focus than race/gender/DEI.

This morning I am guest lecturing at Columbia SPH. Added a new slide on emerging politicized threats to adolescents' access to contraception. Fake claims of harms and concerns fuel attacks on hormonal contraception. Blocking teens' access opens the door to blocking adult access to "defend women"

“First, let’s talk about “slave state” science. While Trump, Musk, and Vought would call the alternative “woke” science, let’s be clear about what this really is”

Our two papers on abortion bans and fertility/infant mortality are now out. In 14 states w/ abortion bans, fertility increased 1.7% and infant mortality increased 6%. Key takeaway is that these impacts were disproportionately felt among those w/ greatest structural disadvantages. Links below.

Cutting NIH indirects is about stopping “leftist agendas” at universities, not saving taxpayer $$

submitted 17 days ago • 4 comments

NIH indirect rate cuts blocked by court. “The order leaves out states that did not join the lawsuit, which will still face the funding cuts.” Thats what you get for sitting on the sidelines. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/10/u...

Did anyone save the illustration of a university building showing indirect costs that someone posted earlier? Please share

I fully expect that the next move will be different indirect rates to incentivize certain kinds of rersearch (and punish others) by tying rate to topic….

I saw the musical Urinetown tonight at NY City Center. First time I’ve seen a show with a shout out to Malthus.

My favorite tv show last year was probably Fellow Travelers. Follows the lives of two gay govt employees from McCarthyism to AIDS in the 1980s. Worth a watch, especially now.
