Friendly reminder: if you are waiting on something from a US-based scientist/reviewer/editor, please realize that we're barely making it through each day putting out non-stop fires and trying not to collapse into tears. We're trying our best, but things will take longer right now. Give grace.

What do Americans need more: better treatments for cancer, Alzheimer's disease, diabetes, infectious diseases and other major public health problems or a way to send Musk to Mars?

Trump's illegal NIH cuts mean cancer researchers would be laid off, sick kids going without treatment, and more. These cuts would be DEVASTATING for lifesaving research. Some Republicans have said they agree—but they just blocked my amendment to reverse Trump's NIH cuts anyway.

“For the last 75 yrs, the NIH has been the biggest funder of biomedical research in the world. Most advances in medicine were seeded by NIH funding. When we became scientists, we just bought into this system. This is how it works. — @tuthill.bsky.social 🧵 www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

NIH support enables @fredhutch.bsky.social to translate research from our labs into care at patient bedsides and ensures we can continue to provide world-class therapies to 40,000+ patients each year. Thank you @repdelbene.bsky.social for championing federal biomedical research funding in Congress.

Apparently, the University of Washington School of Medicine has frozen all non-clinical hiring in response to the Trump/Musk administration attacks on science and science funding. Destroying healthcare to own the libs.

This year, the term “scientist” turns 190 years old! It was coined by William Whewell, who also considered the alternatives: “savant”, “philosopher”, “nature-poker”, and “nature-peeper” Did he choose the right one?
