There's some interesting research in this area but so much of what is being said and going on is just (aged) baloney.

TGIF. Know how the weather's supposed to change if you wear your shirt inside out? What if someone puts their license plate on backwards? Yes, front and back of car both. What the heck is going on here?

"We're fucked" is key quote from an anonymous NIH science officer www.nature.com/articles/d41... Interesting that Nature ran that. It seems like NIH is likely being illegally stymied by the administration. Almost no grant money is going out still.

No, but if you’re looking for one, I am aware of a guy you work with that was indicted four times and convicted of thirty-four felonies.

"Measles are coming for RFK Jr." www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202... The measles outbreak in Texas could spread widely throughout the great region, potentially leading to the deaths of children. Will the HHS Secretary use biomedical science to try to stop this from getting much worse?

The court ordered that NIH grant funding be unfrozen, so The Regime found a way around it. For NIH grants to be funded, a review panel must rank them. In order for a review panel to meet, they must post it on the Federal Register. Submissions to the Federal Register are now on hold “indefinitely”.

There's no logic to the cuts and key personnel are being lost. US leadership in biomedical science takes a hit. Will be a net $$$ loser for our country too.
