Forgot about this app again, so here’s a new Nilakshi!

Never heard of Matthew Memoli? Until recently, I hadn't either. But he's the acting director behind the ongoing illegal shutdown at NIH. This Atlantic story gets into the weeds to explain why everything is still jammed up.

THIS IS HUGE! A cancer vaccine developed by Yale University and DFCI shows MAJOR promise. Results of an early-phase trial reveal ALL patients with ADVANCED stage kidney cancer had successful anti-cancer immune responses AND have remained CANCER-FREE approximately THREE years after treatment. 🧪🧵⬇️

worm time.

Cannot for the life of me remember where I read this quote - honestly, probably a tumblr post - but it's stuck with me ever since #art #comic #crabsinabucket

Remarkable thread offering guidance to current and prospective NSF grantees about how to navigate the times ahead — from an NSF program officer who was fired in yesterday's DOGE purge (!)

The CDC has an ultra-competitive 2-year program to train "the best of the best" to lead public health labs. Most of the current class were terminated over the weekend. www.science.org/content/arti... (by @meredithwadman.bsky.social)

HEADLINE: CDC posts, then deletes, data on bird flu spread between cats and people. The data which appeared fleetingly online on Wednesday, confirmed transmission in two households. It is evident the CDC is being muzzled SO let’s talk about what YOU can do to PROTECT yourself AND your pets. 🧪🧵 ⬇️

PLEASE SHARE 🧪‼️ Since CDC websites and datasets are being taken down by the Administration… The ENTIRE archive of ALL CDC datasets uploaded BEFORE January 28th, 2025 can be found here: archive.org/details/2025...

Bite the hand

There were THREE plane crashes this week--not two. The first was Tuesday of an $80 million US military jet that literally fell out of the sky in Alaska. Then the tragedy in Wash DC and then the deadly crash last night in Philadelphia. WTF is happening under Trump?!! Is this part of Project 2025?

Nobody is paying attention to things like this because the CDC no longer communicates. The current occupant of the White House broke government. He broke the ability to keep America safe. This is spreading, and this administration plans to pretend it doesn't exist. 828newsnow.com/news/228822-...

AMAZING! A GROUNDBREAKING sickle cell disease treatment has been APPROVED for NHS use. Exagamglogene (exa-cel) SUCCESSFULLY edits the faulty gene in a patient’s OWN stem cells. Researchers concluded there was a functional cure in 97% of trial participants that received it! Let’s talk about that! 🧪🧵⬇️

Out on the town tonight....

This is Stanley. Stanley is a very anxious boy and needs his emotional support dragons to not vibrate himself off the dresser. I have named all of my fans and Stanley has a fan to function so therefore has been named.

Openly, plainly: this is Social Murder. Donald Trump is murdering HIV+ people, and making that murder the policy of the United States of America. Understand the magnitude of what is happening here.

To those who were unaware in Washington State rn, you can vote. I’m not part of WA but to those who can and are able.

Something that I've been doing so far is drawing a Clodsire every day! I just take a regular ballpoint pen and go ahead and draw what comes to mind, embracing any mistakes I've made.

I think it’s really important we identify the companies that are doing the right thing and reward them with our business.

The price of eggs in the US is spiking, mostly due to #H5N1 bird flu. Solving the problem requires urgent, important communications from the CDC & FDA* and rapid development of research by the NIH** * Currently paused by Executive Order ** Grant reviews now all canceled www.kcur.org/news/2025-01...

Makes perfect sense to discontinue medical research right after a global pandemic that killed millions. This is the kind of strategic thinking we need!

This year I would like to try a couple new things and you know what - let's start early 🫀 I wanted to make bookmarks quite a while ago, but last year didn't exactly pan out. This year, no excuses! #art #dragon #bookmark #merch They are available through my patreon in January! www.patreon.com/isvoc

Year of the tiger

Communications shutdown. Travel ban. Canceled study sections. Now a hiring freeze? Shutting down the NIH indefinitely without stated cause is literally an act of sabotage. Left: yesterday. Right: today.

My NIH study section that was to meet tomorrow was one of those canceled. This represents many months of work by the applicants and by the NIH staff and reviewers. Devastating is the correct word.

Yeah, I don’t think so. *sends to trash*

I love how reddit communities are banning links to X! I'm not going to ask you guys to give up a platform but Bluesky can only succeed if we support it. There's more to the internet than just the big social media platforms, we always forget how big the net is. Take back control.

So hi. I drew a tiger thing… Months ago uh. Oops, lol. But, when I went to save it for posting I finally made a logo so yay. Just did an ADHD side quest lol. #digitalart

I wish we could cultivate a culture where people get excited about and share the new skills they've learned more than the new stuff they've bought.
