Another good summary of @anzuptrials.bsky.social / Prof Louise Emmett’s #ENZA-p trial outcomes that were shared at the recent @ascocancer.bsky.social #ASCOGU25 conference and published in @thelancet.bsky.social #prostatecancer #mHSPC #clinicaltrials

Someone else has probably already posted this here but Joint European Defence Initiative would be JEDI for short. Just sayin… A JEDI council wouldn’t be the worst idea.

Pubmed being down really starts to make you realise how the ripple effects of the sabotage to science in the US affects the whole scientific community (not withstanding the awful impact on funding for colleagues)

1. The Trump administration has crippled cancer and Alzheimer's research by imposing a freeze on all government credit cards at NIH. An NIH source with direct knowledge tell Popular Information that scientific research has ground to halt because necessary supplies can no longer be purchased.

Still waiting on notice of award for a top 3% scoring grant for one of the most promising #cancer drug targets of my entire career!!! But hey, #DOGE saved a couple more yachts for billionaires. If you get cancer, maybe you can ride their yacht before you go. (Probably not, 😓) #marchforscience

I live in an apartment building in Sydney. It’s a built up, very multicultural area. With lots of green. I love that my building is in the second photo! But is hidden by the huge trees. #sydneyliving #urbandream #sydney

Regarding #NIH websites, including #RePORTER, #PubMed, #NCBI, being down: - This appears to be due to an issue with domain-name lookup. The websites are up, the lookup is (partially) broken - It could be caused by a denial-of-service attack or a misonfiguration 🧵 with explanation and workaround:

Seems to me it’s not just the #USA #Trump #Musk #Putin want to destroy… It’s the entire world. It’s a takeover of #StarWars proportions they want. And not by the #goodguys. They want to be the #DarthVadar side.

Pubmed matters. Evidence based medicine matters. Healthcare, and healthcare policy should be based on what has been proven to work, not on "vibes" or the beliefs of politicians. When we reject evidence because it conflicts with beliefs, people die.

Globally used research catalogue websites hosted by #NIH still not visible 17hrs later. Yes. Some have weird workarounds (see shared below). But they are complicated stopgaps. #Medline #PubMed #NLM #MedSky #clinicaltrials #academia #auspol #savescience

For those of us around the world with looming deadlines & unable to access #Pubmed for many hours, remember there are alternatives. Try searching for papers on #ResearchGate or #GoogleScholar for eg. Hoping this is a temporary situation. Reminded of this just now by my science partner - bless him. 🧪

PubMed has been down for at least 11 hours and we are EXTREMELY concerned. We hope it’s mere incompetence and not an official action. If any of our followers have media events today, please mention it.

New keyboard and mouse arrived today. Any wonder I love my #workingfromhome days of the week?

SAVE THIS PDF 🚨 While it's still available, save a PDF of the CDC's adult vaccine schedule: www.cdc.gov/vaccines/hcp... It also has ALL the specifications and different types of contingencies (pregnancy, immunocompromised, etc.)!

Still being determined globally what the level of access is. Many who can see something are seeing cached versions. Seems some in the USA may still be able to see something. Most can’t. It’s unprecedented. Or should I use a new word “unpresidented”… 🫤
