Elon Musk yelled at Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent in the West Wing. Then he lost a fight with him. Then he unfollowed him on X.

Did you know Jupiter has rings? You can see them, faintly, in this infrared image from #JWST. The giant planet's aurorae (at both poles) are also clearly visible, as are a few of its irregular, inner moons (the largest of which, Amalthea, is at the far left).

Measles cases in Europe hit a 25-year high—127,000+ in 2024 alone. Low MCV1 coverage post-pandemic is fueling the surge. But it’s not just the rash: measles can trigger immune amnesia, wiping the body's memory of past infections. A setback we can’t afford #IDsky jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

🧵 Thread on NSF grant terminations 🧪 This Nature article today confirms what DOGE's arrival at NSF can mean: terminating already awarded grants. "DOGE is...considering more than 200 of them for termination, NSF staff members have told Nature" What can we expect? And what should NSF grantees do?

“The Trump administration is now tearing down that legacy. It has cut funding and programs for HIV research, treatment, and prevention so deeply that “we’re watching the field burn to the ground,” Rebecca Fielding-Miller, a behavioral scientist and an HIV researcher at UC San Diego, told me.”

Last fall, Blue Cross got hit with a $421 million verdict after jurors found it defrauded doctors. It was one of the biggest verdicts ever outside a class action - and it revealed the inner workings of how insurers block payments. My latest. www.propublica.org/article/blue...

Tuberculosis is not going away. If the cutting edge research goes away, #TB will rage on. Harvard is being targeted including the TB Immunology contract and that trickles down to all of us working on these studies. Progress will be halted. And TB will flourish. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/04/08/m...

As someone who has felt very unsafe at Columbia, establishing a police state on campus would not have made me feel safer. I was sexually assaulted by another student in 2005 & had to matriculate with him for another 3 years because Columbia & the police did nothing about it.
