Despite court order, NIH grants remain frozen. Newly awarded grants, grants with fundable scores, & funds for a new budget cycle of a current project are all FROZEN🥶 and not being released. US research is being choked to death & is on life support right now www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Just got this passed on to us, about the damage at NIH's home campus -- the largest biomedical research institute in the world. "The articles on cuts and damage assessments are largely grants focused. The grants program is a bit easier to characterize because it’s visible outside the NIH..." 🧪 1/

Thanks to all of the NIHers and their friends who reached out to me. I am still here (DM me or Signal jeremymberg.78) I still have a very incomplete picture but based on what I have been told, the damage to NIH and to many wonderful people who work(ed) there is/was impossible for me to imagine 1/n

A lot of what Trump and the Republican elite are doing at NIH now is illegal. Blatantly illegal. We shouldn’t just wait for the courts: don’t do things that are illegal. Very important stuff here from the president of the Union of Concerned Scientists, @gretchentg.bsky.social.

If you're worried about vaccine availability moving forward talk to your pediatricians. While there is a routine schedule, there is flexibility. For example Gardasil is usually given at 11 but can be dosed as early as 9. MMR is given at 12 and 48 months but dose 2 can be given earlier.

NEW: VA and NIH join NSF in scouring grants for taboo words like trans and diversity, but also "women" and "Covid." Scientists fear removal of funding is next. By me, with @angusrohan.bsky.social and @owermohle.bsky.social www.statnews.com/2025/02/13/t...

Live footage of the average NIH-funding academic as we cycle between maybe no longer having a job and court rulings allow NIH to resume evaluating and funding grants. I do not recommend this life style, it sucks Most of us just want to do important science unpeturbed.

i am going to put a finer point on this: executive orders are not laws. and they certainly are not royal decrees. they are interpretations of existing law for the purposes of enforcement. the fact that so many people are treating them as laws is actually driving me a bit insane.

Helpful table to determine how much your University or health system is set to lose if the NIH indirect cap is suddenly lowered to 15%. For SJSU it is $374k which is on the smaller end but devastating considering our other budget issues. datawrapper.dwcdn.net/l0ZqA/8/

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.
