Kudos to @chrisserres.bsky.social for this gorgeous, revelatory profile of @harvard.edu scientist Kseniia Petrova. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/07/23/n...

A must read today by @kaylazar.bsky.social in @bostonglobe.com. She so clearly illustrates the role of federal funding in medical breakthroughs and why cuts to that funding-- including the near total freeze on federal grants to Harvard -- endanger all of us. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/07/08/m...

Three great reads from @bostonglobe.com and @statnews.com today, featuring @craigspencer.bsky.social @chrisserres.bsky.social @britshmit.bsky.social @meganranney.bsky.social 1. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/06/16/m...

“I‘ve sat on this bench now for 40 years. I’ve never seen government racial discrimination like this,” said US District Court Judge William Young. “Is it true of our society as a whole? Have we fallen so low? Have we no shame?” www.bostonglobe.com/2025/06/16/m...

Coming soon from @globespotlight.bsky.social: Snitch City. This is the story of every American city enmeshed in the war on drugs. It’s about a deeply flawed system, the flawed people working within it, and the injustices that can occur when no one’s watching.

State departments of public health and community health clinics have received strongly worded demands from Washington to “immediately terminate, to the maximum extent, all programs, personnel, activities, or contracts” that promote DEI. via @bostonglobe.com by Jason Laughlin and Matt Stout

SCOOP: Many of the pages that went missing on Friday from the CDC website on Friday have reappeared — in response to intense media coverage, backlash from the scientific community and concern for the public’s health. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/03/h...

Among specialists, anesthesiologists, pulmonologists, and ER doctors reported high levels of burnout. According to one report, more than 70,000 physicians — over 6 percent of the country’s physicians — left medicine just between 2021 and 2022.

After a long week of breaking news, my colleagues at @bostonglobe.com scrambled to pull together this update on the government data purge, including a tracker of missing CDC sites with crucial health information led by the amazing @gashina.bsky.social www.bostonglobe.com/2025/01/31/m...

The @bostonglobe.com is tracking CDC pages that have gone dark. We've counted more than 100 so far. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/01/31/d...

A few thoughts from me and others in the @bostonglobe.com www.bostonglobe.com/2025/01/28/m...

Massachusetts receives more NIH funding per capita than any other state. Here's how things have played out here. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/01/28/m...
