Currently, NIH's Center for Scientific Review reviews 66,000 grant applications a year, with panels run by NIH’s separate institutes reviewing the rest. Under a new plan, the institute-run panels will be eliminated, and many of the scientists overseeing them will be laid off. scim.ag/3QP0FUG

READING FOR PLEASURE has such a powerful impact on kids, it should be at the heart of everything you do with them, every single day. Always show how them how much YOU love books. Read books to them, talk about books with them, help them find books to love - and it will change their lives! #literacy

Dear Bill Cassidy, Susan Collins, Thom Tillis, and the entire Senate GOP, all of whom obeyed the wanna-be king and voted yes on RFK Jr.: Thanks for nothing. Relitigating settled science won't save money. But it will almost certainly cost lives. www.reuters.com/business/hea...

I think people are extremely on edge, and horrified by how quickly society has slipped into this banal techno-fascism, and scared about how far it will go, and that makes people brittle and impatient, and if I were a better person I would extend grace to people because of that, but, you know, I’m me

Delighted for everyone able to make it to a rally to stand up for science today. Just a reminder - at its heart, what we need to be doing is standing up for each other, and fighting against fascism. It might be science today, it's history every day, it's our families and our memory.

We are getting a LOT of requests from reporters for info about what is going on at NIH. If you are an extramural NIH scientist willing to speak to reporters please DM us and we'll make a list. (Hey @schumer.senate.gov @aoc.bsky.social, this science and medical research stuff has resonance!)

I have talked to veterans all over the country. They’re not happy that, when the VA is already understaffed, Musk wants to dismember the VA by laying off 83,000 employees. A commitment has been made to those who put their lives on the line to defend us. We must not betray them.

Being a historian, people ask me if I think the US is living through Germany 1933. I answer no, analogies are always imperfect but to me it feels more like Russia 1999: a blatant theft of state assets and liberals in a fugue state, refusing to believe the arc of progress is bending against them.

The specks on strawberries are not seeds, but are actually fruits, called achenes. Each achene houses one seed. The red tasty thing you eat is an accessory to these fruits. Like a delicious handbag.

In the words of a wise friend: When isolation, trauma & despair are weaponized; building community, helping people heal, & bringing hope are acts of resistance. Connect people. Resist bullies. Protect the vulnerable. Shine light on the fighters. Give yourself & others grace.

Using cod liver oil, budesonide, or clarithromycin for measles is like pushing ivermectin or hydroxychloroquine for COVID-19—unproven and dangerous. Measles care means supportive treatment, seizure meds for encephalitis, and antibiotics for bacterial complications. Misinformation costs lives.

I’m worried clarithromycin will become the next ivermectin. I have patients who need it for serious infections—misusing it for measles could lead to shortages for those who truly need it. Another example of how misinformation can kill.

Here's the thing. There's no community or freedom or civil right you can sacrifice to the right wing that will satisfy their lust for control. You give an inch, they will mandate a mile. And Americans want unapologetic leaders who see through the manipulation and refuse to back down.
