🧵(1) Here's my statement: I'm a private citizen who cares about federally funded research. Political appointee approval of grants is nonsense. Medical research is because medical conditions do not discriminate. One's political affiliation does not determine whether a person develops cancer or

This morning, @cgster.bsky.social and I spoke of the need of DEI in medical training. It's not some ticking the box exercise. It's finding the best talent where you often overlook, and I care about this U54 because I'm scared we're not supporting enough early stage investigators at #NIH. #geronsky

So... I got more information about this plan. The most important points follow on the next posts. 1/3

Great piece by some peeps to know, Drs. @michaeldgreen.phd and @elizabethginexi.bsky.social. Early stage investigators are the key to our future. Make America Indispensable Again.

Gift link provided. This is laughable and does not align with whistleblower protection laws.

I gathered with friends and colleagues today at a local park. We wanted to celebrate our anniversary of signing the #BethesdaDeclaration. I forgot my phone, and I wanted to take photographs of us. I realized that the conversations we had were perfect just in that moment.

To the fallen, you are never forgotten.

Yeah, I think my NIH phone won't come home anymore.

Good story from Stephanie Lee at the Chronicle of Higher Education on dealing with funding uncertainty with very highly rated grant proposals. www.chronicle.com/article/they... 1/2

Gift link. Yesterday Bobby the lesser fired two leaders of the #USPSTF. Firing independent scientists and replacing them with political appointees does not serve the nation's health. #hspr #hpsr #medsky #oublichealthsky #hpss #defendresearch #defenddata #sciencesky

Agree with @aaas.org on this one. Jim O’Neill is not qualified to run the NSF. Especially after they disbanded the advisory board. Tho not sure a public hearing is enough given the past approvals that have gone through public hearings. We need a public outcry. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/21/s...

I have posted frequently from Dr. Ginexi's blog, and I'm pleased that @elizabethginexi.bsky.social has entered the bluesky space. Want information about #NIH? Here's a great person to follow. #publichealthsky #medsky #sciencesky #clinicaltrials

Hit 'em where it hurts. Maybe the SEC will lose enough money that ESPN tells them to fuck off.

It's not a settlement. It's blackmail.

Hello, crappy day. I have fears they'll do this to all of us at some point. #NIH

Contributed abstract submissions for #ICHPS2027 has opened. We need statisticians to drive evidence-based policy for #AIsky. @cynthiarudin.bsky.social and @csmarcum.bsky.social will give great keynotes, and @rhubbbstat.bsky.social will organize a fantastic conference. #statsky #rwdsky #hpss

These people are awful.

@audacityofdespair.bsky.social , since when did your anti-hero move to MoCo?

#NIH is developing a policy to make sharing clinical research results with study participants standard practice across NIH awards. We're looking for public comments for the RFI. Please share with your networks. #sciencesky #datasky

Some good news: Reuters is reporting that Tracey Beth Hoeg is going to leave FDA.

Do you have plans on May 19 11am ET? Consider this webinar to #defendresearch. @michaeldgreen.phd , @jeremymberg.bsky.social , and @jenna-m-norton.bsky.social , can you share?

Good piece with descriptions of how federal data help. Nuggets from @denicewross.bsky.social and @csmarcum.bsky.social. Not everything is a perfect fit, but the data still require protection. #srms #hpss #statsky #defenddata #defendresearch

NEW AD ALERT: I took on RFK Jr., and won. After the deadly measles outbreak at Disneyland, I passed laws to protect children at school from measles. Now Trump and RFK Jr. are attacking science again. I’m running to stop them. #DrPanforCongress #CA06

Celebrating not just those that pushed one out or had one cut out or adopted one but also all those aunties, cousins, friends, neighbors, teachers who raised all of us everyday, when mom was working two jobs, when dad left, when grandma died. We salute your broken bodies and hearts 💞 #NotJustMoms

I'm two days late, but happy military family appreciation day. Nothing says "support our troops" like getting rid of VA benefits and retirement.

Medicare Advantage should be eliminated not expanded. It was always a gift to the insurance industry and a negative for patient care, and the government pays more to insure an MA enrollee than a traditional medicare enrollee. Bad for the patient and the taxpayer and good for private insurance.

Yes, please include me in your fraud scheme without my consent. I love prior authorization. #geronsky #hpss #hspr #hpsr #AIsky #statsky

Guys. Heads up. Let’s talk about Hantavirus. There have been SEVERAL bad takes and BLATANT misinformation circulating regarding this outbreak so I figured it was a good idea to make a thread about it. Stay calm. Stay vigilant. Know your facts. Here’s ALL you need to know. 🧪🧵⬇️

Mother of God, it's not about sex here. It's about power, harassment, entitlement, and thinking you are above the law. There's a big difference between having sex and assaulting someone. This isn't a personal affair. It is illegal.

I am a proud #Terp and #NIH employee. This news makes me sad. The lab she is joining is at #NINDS, but they will move to @utoronto.ca . Is this an intramural group partaking in an R&D #braindrain? I fear the answer is yes, but please correct me if I am wrong. #geronsky #sciencesky #neurosky

📢📢📢(1) #statsky #AIsky #MLsky #srms #hpss @amstatnews.bsky.social colleagues, if you want to attend #JSM2026 in Boston, book your hotel room now. I heard on Friday afternoon, people were getting kicked out of the site. ‪

Number 1 rule of doing business. DON'T BE AN ASSHOLE! No one will want to work with you. We are losing this race of R&D because we are being jerks and not thinking about the consequences.

This was fitting news to receive on May 1, international workers day. I will be returning to work on Monday after being kept on retaliatory administrative leave for 5 months and 3 weeks. I return along with the brave Katrina Declaration signers from FEMA, also reinstated this week. 🧵1/?

I wish I could have renewed my passport earlier.

I'd like to inform my network the great work that @27unihted.bsky.social does. The organization supports those who have been wrongfully terminated and who still care deeply about the #NIH mission. Follow them to learn more!

I'm honored to share that the American Statistical Association has elected me as a 2026 fellow! I'm grateful to my mentors, collaborators, and colleagues who've supported my career. #statsky #statistics #hpss #srms
